How far does the rabbit hole go?

Oh you have me curious. Do go on :)

A were-cat?

Josette is certainly an interesting character. I couldn't quite decide if she was only a were-cat or something more sinister beneath the feline persona. Whatever, it looked as if she did Alice one hell of a big favour in giving her the impetus to dump that waste of space Andrew. All round, an enjoyable little Halloween tale. If you ever feel up to it, I think you could probably get some more mileage out of Josette. Five stars.

This was too good not to have a continuation. One of the best I have read on this site

Great short story ... could lead to more (I hope!?)

Hot, and fun - yes!!!

Would be a shame...

...not to continue this beautiful story! Josette is intriguing for sure, but we have seen hardly a glimpse of Alice, so much potential there... So would you please share some more, please? Not at the expense of the Hard Landing story line, though. Just listening at your Set List and wondering how Jo is doing... )

Best, Abi

Continue this please.

I would really like to see where you would take this story next. I think it would be fun to have Alice continue down the rabbit hole. Well written, intriguing story. Thank you for sharing with us.

Fun and clever. And as a former resident of New Orleans, I can staunchly agree that Halloween is much better than Mardi Gras.

FIRST OF ALL I MUST APOLOGISE ..................

........ on two counts.

Firstly, I meant to rate 5 stars but only 4 showed up and it wouldn`t let me change it.

Secondly, for the fact that I have been concentrating so much on looking out for the next episode of "Hard Landing" I almost missed this wonderful tale!

Brilliantly constructed and executed,

I had half expected Josette to turn up dressed as the Mad Hatter, but to turn up as the Chesire Cat was a stroke of genius on your part, coupled with the unexpected ending it could easily have been used as an episode of the Twilight Zone or Tales Of The Unexpected (UK TV series). OK I`ve just given my age away, sue me lol.

Great Halloween story.

ElectricBlueElectricBlueover 4 years ago

Hot and spicy, just the right amount of zing.

I'd resist the calls for "more." Sometimes little jewels are perfect just by themselves in a soft velvet bag, and don't need a necklace to shine.

Here Kitty, Kitty

Great story. I didn't know the Chesire cat was female. The reverend never said. And he would have been shocked right out of his gaiters by this.

Fun

That was fun and sexy!

HarryHillHarryHillover 3 years ago

For me the ending was the best part; the cherry on top of the sundae. First line of a paragraph was separated by white space. (oops) Good job, Broken.

AvidReader47AvidReader47over 3 years ago

Well, that was FUN!

Best closing ever "cat got your tongue". Loved it. Totally not how I expected it to end but way better.

saragalsaragalover 2 years ago

This was a nice, cute, succinct story .. An enjoyable read. Just finished all but one of your stories and cant wait for more, but now after reading your work for the last four days I'm feeling a little ... Let down? Lost?

2cookies4u2cookies4uover 2 years ago

Loved it! Great 'twist' on the Alice in Wonderland theme!

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

Sophie160987Sophie160987over 2 years ago

Keep writing in defenitly will continue to read your stories at least the lesbian ones lol

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

This is one of my favorite Halloween stories. I've been coming back to it each year, and it only gets better with each re-read.

Runner4069Runner4069over 2 years ago

Wow, what a complete mind fuck, especially compared to your other stories. It's well written, fits Halloween, it's creepy, it's making me think, and I think, just like Alice I maybe want more?

As always, appreciate you sharing your talent!

AnonymousAnonymousover 2 years ago

As Runner4069 put it, an absolute and brilliant mind fuck. Loved it and want more.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 2 years ago

I LOVE THIS! I can't believe I didn't comment the first time I read this. This was so much fun. Whimsical in nature. And poor Alice didn't know what she was getting into. I am a fan of Josette, she may be a Voodoo Princess, but she has style.

Take Care
