These are short little one-shots/ficlets set in the Tears of the Neko Universe.I've been perusing the writing prompts and using them as a way to get me back into the 'neko mindset' to write the sequel.

Most are sort of funny and silly, as I'm playing around with the characters.

This is a story about Chet Little, first introduced in Cards on the Table... a popular character, he deserves his own story.

Many readers expressed an interest in Chet having his own voice, so here it is. I hope it pleases you.
