Story
Once upon a time, Peridot inherited her aunt's cat, Love. Love was a very young cat, and was always happy. At times, the cat would bring strange gifts to Peridot. Since Peridot was Love's new owner, she thought it was just getting used to her.

The cat was never a bother until it started to bring gifts more frequently. Peridot isolated herself from the cat after Love had given her strands of human hair. Peridot was frightened because she knew exactly who's hair that was. It was her aunt's. Peridot's aunt was the previous owner of Love. She thought the gift was suspicious because her Aunt had died weeks ago, and the apartment she lived in was all cleaned out.

One day, Peridot spoke to her friend, Janice, about the incident. Janice told her that the cat must've held onto it before Peridot's aunt died. Peridot laughed at how silly she was to fear the cat.

Years have passed now, and Peridot and Love are closer than ever. Peridot could finally see why her aunt loved the cat so much. All days were enjoyable with Love. Until one evening, Peridot's thoughts of loving the cat vanished.

Love had brought an actual human hand into Peridot's home. Peridot's screams flooded the ears of Love. The cat then ran out of the opened door in fear never to be seen again.

Even with the cat gone Peridot was still shaken about the "gifts" it had brought. She began to wonder why it would bring such things and how. Then it hit her. The hair was actually her aunt's. The hand was actually her aunt's! Almost everybody in the family knew how close she was with her cat. Peridot snapped. She never wanted the cat to ever come back, so she drove all the way into the city cemetery. It was a long drive, but she was determined.

When Peridot reached the cemetery, she searched for her aunt's grave. and began to dig it up. When she was finally 6 feet deep in the ground, she tapped the casket. It moved. Peridot almost screamed in disbelief.

She gathered her courage and opened the casket. Out stepped Love. The cat.

Peridot saw the corpse of her deceased aunt too. Her hand was cut off, and so were locks of her hair. Peridot grew angry. The thought her aunt having the audacity to give away the cat even though she knew it had a huge obsession.

Peridot didn't think. She just shoved the cat back in to the casket, and shoved it shut. She used all her strength and pulled the casket into her pickup truck. After that, she drove to the city bridge, and dumped the casket into the sea.
