This in response to a flash fiction piece where a cat gets drowned in a sack at the end of a relationship. Thought 'The Delinquent' might be less squeamish than most... still this is one of those really nice rejections:
Dear Douglas,
What can I say? We’re cat-lovers. So our instincts ran a little contra to the story, although it was clearly well written. And being cat-lovers we couldn’t decide whether the story wasn’t simply gratuitous, albeit poetically so. Factor in 127,000 words of submissions and a bit of procrastination on the decision making and… you can see where this is heading… we didn’t choose to include 'Scratches' in Issue 6 of the delinquent.
But we would like to see some more of your work for the next issue.
All the best,
Jason & Jeremy
