I noticed a few errors, such as forgetting to pluralize "cats" in the proper context. Other than that, I enjoyed this creepy little tale. Very, oh...very Tales from the Darkside. :) Enjoyed.

d'oh! it's true, we continue to squish bugs even after publication. it's a good thing we print in pixels instead of ink... please let us know whenever you catch typos or syntax problems, and we'll spare future readers the snags in their enjoyment.

please lend a hand in the workshop whenever you have time so we can nip more things in the bud!

dyn-o-mite. (only JJs can say that with impunity)

i can also see 'clutter' appearing on something like tales from the darkside, perhaps HBO's old tales from the crypt so the drunk dad can have his lines uncut. the story doesn't mess around with characterization, at first.. right away we're introduced to a couple of sleazes who wouldn't mind robbing an elderly relative, and from there we're just waiting for the old sledge-o-matic to come down. or would it come up, to bring the comeuppance? in any case, the senior citizen demographic should get a special kick out of it.

we have another john correll tale scheduled for issue #6, end of may... those of us with workshop access can start reviewing the text now. everyone else will have to wait!

oh. this was too close to home for me. i once took on job helping a family of hoarders clean up. i cleaned for two days before discovering that they had a couch and chair in thier living room. i saw things, i tell you, things. lol.
the thing about this story is that for me is that i can see the all real truth in this fiction and as for the fiction part? well, im convinced anything could be living in such a mess.
