So, as we stand I am quite undecided about my future career and my passions. Here I am writing to you though... or at least writing. Let me begin with this; as I have said, endings for me are just a dream, they never really make it to the page, but here is the beginning to what I hope will be at least something to catch your attention and maybe help me decide a little...
Years ago, an old woman bought a cat and took it home with her. It seemed to be the only animal left in the store, and when asked why, the man at the counter just shrugged and quickly placed the cat in its carrier, handing it to her. Two days later her husband died, and 10 days after that the woman died as well. Both were said to have had heart attacks. She was 72 with seven children from various marriages, but her will declared the large estate be given to a man named Evans. Even though each family member was given very large portions of the old woman's money, everyone was very upset that her million dollar mansion had been given to a stranger. After much discussion, the family decided to go to court on the assumption something had been terribly mixed up in her will, but she had written it in her own hand and it was absolutely correct. Yet nobody knew who Evans was because he never sold the estate or moved in. It just sat there for years collecting dust. No one gave a thought to the cat after the two tragedies and huge inheritances they had collected, it was a very small matter that seemed not to deserve anyone's attention. Two months later another death occurred in the same area when a pet store owner fell down a flight of stairs and broke his neck.
Of course, this is is only the beginning, so expect more. Also feel free to leave comments and suggestions for me and this story.
