this is jack. he got into a fight and ended up with a wound on his side. the vet suggested a shirt as a less stressful approach to keep him from chewing it, rather than a plastic cone.

fun fact: most cats fit into baby shirts sized 0-3 months.

fruitcakes.

Standard

i came face to face with this colorful display

and was struck with a sudden terror

for i knew

 this was

a sure sign that

the fruitcakes were on their way.

 

“a sharp bolt of hunger hit luther hard. his knees almost buckled, his poker face almost grimaced. for two weeks now his sense of smell had been much keener, no doubt a side effect of a strict diet. maybe he got a whiff of mabel’s finest, he wasn’t sure, but a craving came over him. suddenly, he had to have something to eat. suddenly, he wanted to snatch the bag from kendall, rip open a package, and start gnawing on a fruitcake.”
John Grisham

a day in the life.

Standard

a day in the life of glenn frey the cat not the rockstar: a one-act play

as written by grandies j and b

in our early morning wakeup writers’ workshop

with a lot of naturalistic dialogue 

a wonderful story arc

 many plot twists and surprises

suspense until the final moment

 a very dramatic ending

that is sure to leave an audience

on their feet and wanting more.

“get into a scene late, get out early.”

– david mamet – the paris review

falling away.

Standard

our first snowflakes fall

and from the looks on their faces

i’d say the fall pumpkins

are having a hard time

accepting the arrival of the winter weather

and wish it would all just go away.

“ignoring facts does not make them go away. “
