“How to Train Your Doggo” by Gabriela Wels

I, Mocha the Great, decree that the four-legged felon my people brought home may not stay! This home is not big enough for eight paws! After all, canines are beneath the felines. In the Abridged Bible: Feline Edition, it says that in the beginning, God created the world. And cats. Can’t forget the cats. We cats certainly don’t let you forget. God created dogs, then cats. Only after the cats were made was the “animal” category complete! My humans love me, pamper me, and this is why a dog cannot be tolerated!I stretch and yawn as my ...

“Healers Have Three Paws” by Gabriela Wels

Submitted to Contest #187

Just a heads up: This story deals with alcohol addiction recovery. :) Thanks for reading. I hope you find it encouraging. ----------------------------------------------------------------There are two types of people in this world: humans and cats. They can be annoying. They may throw a wrench into our lives and plans. But we love them anyway.I am sitting by the window with my recovery journal in hand. My friend limps over to join me. One eye is missing as a testament to his tendency to rush into things. One foot is mangled from a misste...

“Tasting the Colors” by Gabriela Wels

“I can’t wait to get home to drink my coffee.” “Even though it’s 3:30 in the afternoon?” “Oh, hi. Yeah. Coffee  doesn’t bother me that much. Besides, being at school so long gives me a headache.” “Wait, you’re in my grade, aren’t you? I recognize your voice from class.” “Yeah- you’re Lucy, right? Mrs. Odilla’s Literature class. I’m Raph. Well, it’s short for Raphael, obviously, but I usually go by Raph.” “Hang on, the stairs are here, aren’t they?” “Yeah. Hey you- watch out!” “Don’t worry about it, Raph. I’ve lived 19 years with this st...

“The Legend of Ellemeno Beach” by Gabriela Wels

Submitted to Contest #98

Ellemeno Beach isn’t the most picturesque of beaches. It’s rocky and covered in crushed seashells from years of waves crashing onto the shoreline, carrying with them centuries worth of shells and seaweed. Years of tramping feet ground those into smaller and smaller pieces, which made walking barefoot a rather uncomfortable experience. Not to mention, the roaring of cars as they pass the causeway often rattles your eardrums. So why on earth do we faithfully pack hamburgers to drive out and grill dinner there each week? It’s a family trad...

“Home by Midnight” by Gabriela Wels

Submitted to Contest #97

Hello everyone! I’m new to Reedsy; this is my first time participating in the writing challenge. I hope you enjoy my very short story. :)Maggie looked out the window for the sixth time in half that many minutes. In one hand she clutched a rosary tightly, in the other, a kitchen sponge, cold but still covered in suds from her half-hearted attempt to clean. She glanced at the clock. 11:50 p.m. Ron’s curfew was midnight. She clutched the rosary tighter. God, watch over him. Maggie glanced at her husband Lucas, collapsed on the couch where ...
