Author’s notes:
Yesterday (in April), my scaredy cat got up on a desk and peered out our front window for the first time in years. It reminded me of when his mom used to sit in the window and watch us come and go. He even nervously scanned the yard, when I pulled the semi-transparent curtain aside. It filled me with memories. My train of thought put some of this together and created a bunch of cats telling ghost stories.

The part after the three hyphens was not part of the original story but is an extended ending for the contest. It flowed as I wrote the story and explains where all the missing kids and cats go on Halloween.

I am currently working on another Halloween TG story, but it probably won't be ready in time.
