What could be an interesting short story about an occupant?

Once there was an occupant named Tom in an old, creaky house. One stormy night, he heard strange noises coming from the attic. He was terrified but mustered up the courage to go and check. When he opened the attic door, he found a little kitten that had been trapped there. Tom then adopted the kitten and they became the best of friends.

I'm not sure as I haven't read it specifically. But generally, in a short story, the main plot could revolve around the character of the occupant. It might be about their experiences, relationships, or some kind of conflict they face within the setting of the story.

I don't know as I haven't read the story. But likely, the occupant is one of the main characters. There could also be other characters who interact with the occupant, like a landlord if it's about a rented place, or neighbors who play important roles in the story.

You might find it on popular online literature platforms like Wattpad or Archive of Our Own.
