So many great descriptions here, and you catch us right away with the note attached to the key. I especially appreciate the descriptions where the protagonist makes an observation and then immediately backtracks because it's just not quite accurate at a second glance (like with the cat being mostly a cat). It's giving off serious Alice in Wonderland vibes.
This was created for a prompt in my subscriber chat! I came up with the prompt as well. Thank you so much! I do like Alice in wonderland. Maybe a little nostalgia mixed with some of the ethereal fantasy. Thank you so much! 🩵
Haha no I used tendrils to give the creature an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality, something that defies rigid form. Instead of a traditional tail, these wispy tendrils suggest movement that isn’t bound by the physical world, flickering like candle flames, alive in a way that feels almost elemental. It makes the creature feel both delicate and untouchable, something that exists between realms, shifting like smoke or whispers of forgotten magic.
whimsical and delightful in equal measure. you create a lot of promise and intrigue with so few words... I am sure you had lewis carol in mind here?
Thank you so much! I had a touch of my favorites in this. Really the only story I wrote a clear distinction to one of my favorites!

Have you watched Luck? The girls read this with me & they thought it was enchanting & immediately thought this was going to be just like Luck.
I haven't, should I watch it? That is the highest of compliments! Kids are very honest haha, thank you so much! 🩵
Luck is fun. It is a magical cat that helps an unlucky girl turn her luck around. There is a portal to another world & fun! Yes. Watch it!
I'm looking this up now! Is he as ethereal as my Kitsune cat!?
He comes from the world of luck. Like a leprechaun but in cat form.
Definitely need to watch this!
Wow. Wonderfully fun! That garden is scary to me!
Thank you! 🩵 Message me and I can create you a new garden that is to your liking!
It’s the cat! With the tendril tail! lol.
Oh haha, think of it more like a cat with a Kitsune tail!
Love the descriptions.
This grabbed my heart:
"For the door that wasn’t there yesterday."
Instant feeling of longing and mystery.
Thank you so much! I would love to have a door like this actually appear haha.
Same!
Ooooooo. That’s not scary! I was seeing octopus/snake. Some chimera type gremlin thingy lol

That’s beautiful. I feel so different now. But I’ve had a weird day so maybe that’s why I went dark. Haha
I definitely understand how our days effect our reading! I'm glad I made it better
