[2862] The Cat in 3B, Part 1/4

This is part one of a short story that clocks in at just under 10k words. I plan to submit it in four parts over the next week or so (for real-zees this time, haha). This 3k submission covers the same ground as my previous 5k submission, but with revisions and some new set up. My hope is that it’s more focused.

All feedback welcome!
