Winter's Worth
Johann shivered in his boots blowing warm breath, now visible, onto his thinly gloved hands. He was surprised at how fast the sun had gone down, along with the temperature. Who would expect that in late October? By now it must have been below...
Mom Starts Summer Break
The school bus started to accelerate again down Tallinn street to its last stop of the day, and year. Nate looked out the window, 'Only about another minute or so.' he thought excitedly. Many others were already outside enjoying the first of many...
Autumn Walk
The hard sidewalk was always uncomfortable, but it seemed very unforgiving with each clacking step I took. I planned to walk into the other end of town from the near outskirts where I lived. Deciding to not drive around instead seemed like a smart...
Operation A-Go
John quietly sat on the couch, one foot paw sitting idly on the light beige carpet while the other laid across the red-orange fur of his leg just above his knee, reading through the local newspaper leisurely taking a sip of hot cocoa from a mug to...
Winter's Worth III
Taking a deep breath, Johann read the scented air that he became so fond of over the last few weeks. His nose tingled at the light earthy odor making images of outside appear in his thoughts. Then there was the twinge of uniqueness in it all,...

Sunset at the Dock
A bedroom door slammed shut making the whole house shiver and echo the heavy noise down the halls. Downstairs, Henry and Ruth took no notice at all, except for a quick upward glance at the ceiling before refocusing on what was in front of them. For...
More Than a Companion
The tower jostled and threatened to fall over in the passenger seat next to me with every turn I made no matter how cautious and deliberate. That would be my luck if it did fall over, and after going to the grocery too. The frustration creeped...
Morning Mischief
-The morning after "An Enjoyable Evening"- A bird chirping through the window made Nate scrunch his face in annoyance. '_Not time for school._' Moving his hand over an adjacent body made him break into a grin, a reminder that there wouldn't...
Lefkosa Country
A human bolted upright in bed hearing metal knock over just beyond the walls of his home outside. Blinking, he heard a gust of wind that calmed his nerves. 'Probably a pail I left outside.' He was superstitious, and rightfully so. This was Lefkosa...
