Greetings, Sonali!

Another discovery using Random Read and Review, and a delightful one at that.

What a challenge: write an intentionally awful story! But this is so much fun to read, we almost don't realize how ridiculous it is and how nothing really "happens."

I love cats, so of course I was intrigued by Kalyan and his insistence on hating cats. I found the story within a story premise to be engaging and clever, drawing us along as the narrator cleverly (whoops, an adverb!) catches his attention by inserting him into the story. It tapers off "maddeningly" at the end, when the narrator admits she had no idea where the story was going. But we had a jolly good time of it as we plowed through ever more exaggerated dialogue tags and adverbs and painfully slow descriptions of how many fingers, feet and eyes the various characters have.

You have almost nothing of standard story lines here: plot, character development arcs, etc. Yet the theme is ingenious, as we see the characters extrapolated through the absurd situation... If that makes any sense.

Congrats on "worst" first place. It's well deserved!

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
