This was very good.

I didn’t care for your writing style when I first read through your story, but after completing it, and rereading it, I realized that it added to the whole mood of the piece.

The story itself is very good. It reminded me of some of Kafka’s shorter stories, the use of animals representing humans, humans turning against humans, etc.

I really enjoyed going through your story a second time, knowing the ending. Upon a second reading I affirmed to myself the fact the you meant for:
old man to represent God.
cats to represent man.
colors of cats represent races of man.
plants represent earth.

and there are many more little things, which I bet I missed.

I really enjoyed this. I’d love to read more of your stuff, so post, NOW!
