Mr. Familiar
by J.S. Frankel
Sam Knowlen, dutiful student and son, almost eighteen and searching for his perfect mate, runs afoul of a witch named Leena one night while taking in the nightlife of Tacoma, Washington. Leena, a spiteful individual, mistakes Sam for her familiar, and in a drunken rage, uses her magic to change Sam into a cat. She then vanishes from sight.
