the box

It was a dreary Tuesday afternoon when the mysterious package appeared on my porch. I had just returned from running errands and I was so puzzled when I saw the package sitting on my doorstep waiting for me. I picked it up and examined it closely. There was no name, no label, only a note that read, "Do not open for 14 days. "  I scrunched up my forehead, feeling totally puzzled. Who could have left this package for me?

Their tiny feet ta...

As the sun peeked through the curtains, I stretched my limbs and let out a contented yawn, ready to embark on another day of exploring the wonders of my domain.   Being a dog, my perspective on the world is quite different from ...

Looking down on the hustle and bustle of the street below. when an old movie I had watched a few months ago popped in my head.  The movie was called “invasion USA” made in 1956, I think. It was one of those “what if” type scenarios. Even though it was about the war effort.  I was thinking how that scenario could play out in everyday life. So, in My head. I ran one pos...
