chapter one

SANITY

Im a stray and I'm proud.

Its true. I love it out here. Great place. Meet me. I'm that crazy-looking cat with a spike collar, white fur, and red eyes. Most other strays call me Sanity. The truth is, I  wasn't born here. I ran away  at the age of eight. 

I always stared out the window at the city,happily,until my mom came over and was all like; hey,quit it already yo. Uh uh. 

And I'd be all like;no!!!!!!! AHHHHH Yo-

Ah, ok. Enough of the flashbacks. It's real now.

It is survival which is hardest.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),

Hi! I'm Knight Hardy here on a mission to ensure that all works on YWS has at least two reviews. You will probably never see this but....Imma do this anyway.

Anyway let's get right to it,

ALright, so this is a bit of a confusing piece here, on one hand it reads like a partially cut off piece off of a first chapter, but then it could also be something like a prologue that's somehow designed as a flashback for some reason. Its kind of an inbetween and I think it needs a bit of a second look for you to figure out what you're going for here.

One thing that's really intriguing here is that this is quite ambiguous with the main character, I genuinely cannot judge whether the main character is a cat or a human here, and that introduces and interesting element of surprise into things here. In addition to that, well from what I can see this looks to be someone that ran away from their house and this flashback shows their mother spotting them leave. That bit there in the center is a bit hard to make sense of there. I do like the point it ends on though, there's a nice cliffhanger of this person/cat having to focus on surviving alone which certainly makes you want to find out more.

Soo, overall an interesting looking premise, but it needs a decent amount of cleanup here for this chapter to fully make sense and it does look a tiny bit incomplete here.

Aaaaand that's it for this one.

As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.

Stay Safe
