The dog sat at the foot of one of the many crooked trees that gave the Tilted Forest its name. He stood, disturbing the thick fog that hung over the forest and prevented sunlight from reaching the forest floor. He took a few steps forward, leaves crunching under his paws.

“Verus” by Naomi P

Submitted to Contest #191

Content Warning: self-harm, insanity, mentions of abuse/harm, and death Fluffy and her sister Penelope entered the florist shop. Flowers were everywhere: on the shelves, hanging from the ceiling, and laid out in rows on the floor. The whole building smelled sweet. There were many different kinds of flowers in the shop, but the cats needed only one. In Catonia, flowers were everything. Red roses symbolized love and hyacinths were an apology. Petunias, however, symbolized hatred. The anger they contained could destroy you. When Fluffy and Pene...
