Shadow is no ordinary cat. He’s a familiar, bound to the soul of his pet human. The binding gives him brains and a pawful of tricks to use them. He’s got the night to himself in this short story, and makes the most of it, getting into trouble like only a cat bonded to a vigilante spy can.

Lee French lives in Olympia, WA with two kids, two bicycles, and too much stuff. She is an avid gamer and active member of the Myth-Weavers online RPG community, where she is known for her fondness for Angry Ninja Squirrels of Doom. In addition to spending much time there, she also trains year-round for the one-week of glorious madness that is RAGBRAI, has a nice flower garden with one dragon and absolutely no lawn gnomes, and tries in vain every year to grow vegetables that don’t get devoured by neighborhood wildlife.
