Awwww!!! So cute!

Good descriptors, good progression, good tackling of the challenge! I’m so glad you took it on!

that was nice Elsha…keep up the good work.

Great story, emotional and well written.

Aww..the sad life of a lonely old woman. I never want to grow old.

I wanted to add so much more of her talking things out with the cat.. but I ran out of room. I had to just throw Bingo back in there at the end to give you some idea of her change.

What a sweet little story

Among all the contest entries, this stuck with me the most. It’s a quiet story with an understated but satisfying ending. It doesn’t try to be too much. Good work, and congratulations!

thanks! wow!

there’s nothing that warms your lap (or your heart) like a small kitten !

Really effective. I’m impressed by how much of a character study people can fit into these limits!

This is a great little vignette…you really get a good sense of the woman’s inner workings, without it being over-obvious. Congrats!

Great job Elsha. Funny, I pictured her as a young woman.

Oh, poor Helen. I’m glad she has Kitty to help her.
