Benjimen was a nice boy living with his father. They were quite poor, but his father owned his own little shop in town. It was a comfy, quaint abode that sold just about anything, from small good-luck trinkets to ceiling fans and from handmade plush toys to kitchenware.

He and his father had a normal father-son relationship; they got along just fine, but his father had a firm hand and as such, Ben had been mildy disciplined since his early childhood.

One day, a black cat arrived at the shop's doorstep, asking to be let it. Ben asked his father if it was alright to give her food and let her stay for a short while, but his father explained that the cat had been visiting for weeks, and he doesn't want her in the shop. But despite his father's wishes, Ben apologized and let her in anyways, as it was starting to snow, and it was too cold for an animal to stay outside for too long.

A short while turned into a day, and a day turned into two. Ben had already begun growing an attachment to her, so he decided to give her a name.

Selby.

During the days after Selby's arrival, unsettling mishaps started to occur within the shop; ceiling fans cutting loose, nails protruding out of the floorboards, glass snowglobes suddenly exploding. However, all of these things seemed to happen only when a customer was near. His father was only just missing these horrors by a hair's inch, while Benjimen in the meantime, appeared to be recieving great luck.

The father grew suspicious of the cat, and accused her of all the incidents that have taken place since she arrived, and thus, driving business away; deeming her an omen. Benjimen refused to believe a word his father said; he was always a supersticious old man, but he would not stand for it. He exclaimed that either Ben make her leave or he himself will, knowing very well that his father was not above exterminating Selby.

Benjimen in turn asked her to leave, and, begrudgingly, she slinked away.

The next day, as Ben wandered outside to sign for a delivery of goods, the shop caught fire. Officials say the cause of the explosion was merely a gas leak, but they refuse to reveal the details of the direct cause of father's death.

Benjimen still occasionally goes looking for Selby, leaving out food and water at the revised shop's footstep, hoping she'll return.

She was his friend, after all.
