I get the feeling that you're a fairly young author. To be blunt, your writing isn't yet to the level where you can successfully get a story onto the wiki. For example, it takes you four paragraphs to tell the reader that you're all alone and your cat is hungry. There are too many unnecessary details (your mom's boss telling you she's still at work) that add nothing to the story. When those details are stripped away, you have very little actual story left. If you're honestly interested in improving your writing, the the best thing you can do it to constantly read the works of other authors, and really pay attention to how they use their words. Keep writing your own stories in between. Just remember that many authors here have spent years and years honing their skills. As you get older, you'll find yourself developing a style that's all your own, and hopefully, one that others can find enjoyment from.
