A Twisted Paranormal Novella Just In Time For Halloween.
Lorna grows up in a decaying antebellum mansion where her best friends are a little girl from the distant past and a deformed cat. As she ages, Lorna realizes that the figures she sees in the family graveyard are not just figments of her overactive imagination. The spirit world has become as familiar to her as the present world. There are mysteries haunting the old plantation and questions no one can or will answer. Lorna must find a way to solve them on her own. A paranormal novella with a twisted plot.
Excerpt
There were several dolls I found in the attic. These became my playmates since there were no other children living close enough to play with. The dolls were over a hundred fifty years old. Their long dresses were faded, their faces dirty and marked. The dolls and an old one eyed, tabby cat with a deformed face who drooled spit, were all I had.
It was obvious the cat had been injured in the face and I wondered who could have been so cruel. I loved that old cat and I didn't mind the drool that fell on me when I would hold him on my lap. I would ask him who did this horrible thing to him and sometimes I could almost swear I heard him meow a name. I could never understand the name but I hoped someday I would.
When Mama would call me in the house for supper, she'd ask, "Whata you doin out there on the steps?"
"Pettin the cat."
"Lorna, I told you a hundred times there aint no damn cat”
I wouldn't dispute Mama, nobody disputed Mama. I just held back the tears and held my tongue. I knew my cat was real even if I was the only one who could see him

Congrats on another novella. That is a twist… An imaginary cat that isn't perfect, but has definite evidence of abuse. I'm not sure if you're aiming this at a certain audience or not, but regardless of that, I know you can write a very good tale.
