Cats.... why is it always cats?

Cats are easy, they just mooch around the house, shred the curtains and leap at you from on top of the fridge.  Orange cats are the weirdest...they can't help it.

My best friend had an orange tabby growing up. Fluffy is the reason I am not a cat person.

My first thought on th latest story was @kbois or @Mrsgnomie 

I'm kind of leaning towards @kbois as well.  Whoever it is, they sure as hell know how to knock it out of the park, Hide and Seek was excellent.

We'd have to call you Mac, then we'd wonder what happened to your depressed older partner PC.

There's a dog too! 🙂

Their hosts were a young couple who had bought the house six years ago and converted it into a B&B. A smiling Golden Retriever greeted them at the door

Hide and Seek made me shed a tear by the end. The post script postcards were a nice touch. I'm going to have so much to read after the authors are revealed. Am I happy or concerned about that? 🤔So many great writing styles.

 

Off on a tangent: @kbois, all of your comments have made me crack up again and again. I haven't forgotten about your work, either. My dayjob can't touch me on Sundays. Today is the day I finish one of your stories for sure. 🤣

This one is intriguing, but I think it's incomplete. I hope the secret author writes a second chapter to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion. It is good and well-written and I've no clues as to who the author is.

While it would be nice to find out what happened to Nico, I think the author deliberately left us hanging in the way shows like Dallas and Roseanne had their dream seasons. 

This is the first one I may have an inkling of who it is... but I doubt I'm right. I think last year I guessed one correctly.

I'm glad you had an inkling about the author. I'm still trying to figure out the story. No offense, but whomever wrote this, you're weirder than I am.

Also, the entirety of St. Elsewhere universe, the snow globe will haunt you at the end of that show even if you binge it after it aired 30+ years later. (I wasn't even born when the show was created, I just heard about it from Watch Mojo and thought why not)

I know you, your character with such severe brain damage and in coma would have been undergone a head transplant surgery!

If it's who I think it is....weird is an apt description 🤣🤣

But I suck at guessing. 

[BendtedWreath]

While I haven't the slightest clue who wrote Alltopia, I hope the author has more in store for us. This felt woefuly cut short to me.

[CincyKris]

I have some guesses on 3 of the stories, no clue on Alltopia or Nox.  

Behind the Walls - @Karl Anders 

Sparkling Waters - @Stellar

Hide and Seek - @Mrsgnomie

I just hope I get one right!  The Secret Author is a lot of fun!

I don’t think so. @astone2292 isn’t that tame.
