Loved this! Such a fun, creepy build-up, and that ending left just enough unanswered to make my imagination do the worst possible things with it. Also, I have to say… Solomon is awfully suspicious. Very “innocent cat” behavior, which of course means he probably knows everything.
This was genuinely unsettling. Theo’s nightly routine created such a strong rhythm that every small disruption felt amplified.
I really liked how “Better safe than sorry” changed from reassurance into something tragic, and the final image of the garage door closing with “a patient click” was really chilling .
Also, Solomon was the perfect addition. I trusted him almost as much as Theo did.

I’m so glad! Yeah Solomon is a sneaky one.
“Meow.”

Unsettling is music to my ears. Thank you for taking the time to read it and leave your reaction. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
😳😳 Uh... Nope!
Wow...love this
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to write.
Loved it! So suspenseful, and a cat, too. Also, I totally relate to the narrator.
I’m so happy to hear it! Relate in which way? The routine? Defending Solomon to the death?
All of it. I knew he was my people when I read the passage about prepping the coffee the night before🤣
