Tasks / The Pass Around Story
One thing really set Helena apart though. She had a secret dream which she pursued tirelessly whenever no one was around. She didn't know, but something was watching her and taking interest in her dedication.
As she stood, eye's aching and hair pulled back tight for maximum discomfort (eliminating the possibility that she fall asleep on her work) She felt a strange texture brush across her face. Something soft but bumpy; light and cold.
Then, a voice began to say....

"Of course I know what I'm doing," Helena snarled. It was the cat's tone of voice that bothered her more than anything, she decided. Like it had any right to say a word about her competency.
The cat plucked the pen from her hand with its surprisingly prehensile tail.
Helena frowned- the problem of tail dexterity had been part of her project, but apparently that had been a failure...
A failure so horribly disgusting that it should never be spoken of again.
"Lets speak of that horrible failure you had years ago, shall we?" The cat smoothly walked towards Helena, knowing he'd touched a dark memory from her past.
"That's cold, cat. You don't walk into someone's life and decide to change it with old memories. Dark memories of bad things long ago, things that I got away from..." Helena shivered as the cat breathed down her neck.
"Ah, but that is why I exist. I am, as you see, The Cat that Brings Things Back. Doing such is my job description, and damn if I'm not good at it. Shall we venture to your past and see what you did?"
The cat flicked his tail in a circle behind him and a small, blue, vortex-ey thing opened up. He turned and smugly pranced through it, only to stop in the middle of it, waiting for Helena to follow.
Helena got up and...
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Helena turned around to discover an impossibly large cat staring her in the face. Its tail wrapped around its body and the tip of it now rested on her shoulder.
Amazingly she was not surprised or scared to find a cat that was bigger than she was looking her in the eye and asking her if she knew what she was doing. What she felt was a rancorous outrage that this man-cat would question her actions. Of course she knew. She had been working on this for many years. She knew exactly what she was doing....
