“Inaaya and the Gentle Giant” by Ishan Gupta

Submitted to Contest #211

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a precious 4-year-old girl named Inaaya. Her heart was as expansive as the endless sky, brimming with love, innocence, and boundless curiosity. Inaaya's family had embarked on a journey from India to the distant shores of Ireland, a journey dictated by her parents' work. This transition brought them to a foreign land, leaving behind the familiar and embracing the unknown. Despite her tender age, Inaaya was a beacon of strength, adapting to this new chapter of life with a grace that seemed alm...

“Let Me Tell You About My Best Friend” by Jonah Yuhas

Submitted to Contest #211

Animals give humans the most loyal friendships in the world, and they love us unconditionally, to be honest, one day when my furry friend dies it will break me and while I shed tears writing this, I can't help but to remember all the good memories we've shared together. Six years ago I was anxious to pick out my very own puppy and my husband driving the car to Stockton, CA asked me if I had any name ideas for a male, and the first name that came to mind was Max.

It’s the middle of the day, but the autumn storm clouds blanch out the sun, until the cheery little house appears shadowed and foreboding.

The rain would pour so hard it would make ponds in t...

“One of a Kind” by Grace Chavez

Submitted to Contest #211

October twenty first was the special day we met. As our five year anniversary gets closer I reminisce the fond memories we have created and hope to form future ones. The day you were born had a bright blue sky, cool weather that signaled the end of summer and an unexpected gift as it was the first time Gizmo, your mother, gave birth to her children in our home. The subtle cries in the house peeked our curiosity to search for the source of the sound. After minutes of searching, the bathroom was the last place. We opened the door and notice fo...

“Oscar the Owl” by Merissa Penniman

Submitted to Contest #211

Oscar the Owl “Please, Vu, you have to take him,” Linda’s voice pleaded over the phone. “We’ve already had him for six weeks and he’s been to three other adoption places with no luck. No one wants to adopt an owl with no background.” I sighed. “Linda, I can’t--” I started. “You’re the best option for him,” she continued. “He’s not predictable or sweet and approachable like most people are looking for. He needs someone who knows animals and can respect and care for him properly.” “If he seems so undomesticated,” I countered, “maybe he...
