“Glug Hits the Road” by Deborah Mercer

Submitted to Contest #41

Author’s Note: Another of my stories in verse. Hope it works!Glug the Pug liked to toddle, to waddle, to trot,Some dogs like to run at full tilt. Glug did NOT.He snuffled and sniffled and kept his own pace,a look of content on his wrinkled up face.He was not one to hasten and not one to hurry,and not one to scamper and not one to scurry.Though every so often he felt a slight tug,as his owner Lucy exclaimed, Come ON, Glug!But one day Glug decided that this got him down,and he’d had enough of the crowds and the town,He wanted t...

“Rosie the Trucking Dog” by Sue Marsh

Submitted to Contest #41

Rosie the Trucking DogSuzanne MarshIt was a cold winter night in January of 2004, Earl and I had stopped at Carl's Corner for the night. We were OTR truckers back then. We were going into the “C” store before going to bed. A medium size dog brown and white dog was begging for food. She followed us back to the truck. We had a white German Shepherd in the truck, so we scrambled into the truck, got a paper bowl and gave her some food. She ate that then disappeared into the night. Earl and I agreed that if she came back in the morning we would p...

“Zena's Journey” by Olivia Osen

Submitted to Contest #41

Zena curls up in her little doggy bed and kicks out her legs as if running. Zena is running, in her dreams. She is racing through the lush green forest chasing after rabbits and squirrels. She spots a squirrel hiding in a bush near her and she abruptly changes directions. She lets out a joyous bark and leaps through the air. Zena falls back to the ground and trips over a tree root, landing on her nose. This sends her popping up out of her dog bed rubbing tenderly at her nose. Zena sighs as she realizes her joyous freedom was merely a dream. ...

“Catkopelli” by Cho Blu

Submitted to Contest #41

Lucy was a girl with a ponytail most days, age 7 to be exact. She loved adventures more than anything else in the world. Her parents’ gifts even came in the form of new adventures. Lucy’s newest adventure would take her family to a place full of sand, but not like you would imagine. Instead of the ocean, there would be old stones to climb, tumbleweeds to chase, and spiky yucca and cactus plants NOT to touch. What a trip this would be!Travel day came and seemed to last FOREVER! Lucy and her family traveled in a big plane, a little plane, and ...

“A Gallop Into Distress” by Shreya Dhital

Submitted to Contest #41

‘Once upon a time’ is a very cliché start to a story, but here we are. Once upon a time, Dale went on a journey to save His Majesty, the King. Dale used to spend most of his days with his brother, Gabe, and some of his friends. Sometimes, his Mistress, Princess Consuela, would take him for a stroll and to important meetings since Dale was the strongest, most good looking and most reliable of his kind. Dale’s father was the King’s favourite as he, like Dale, was mighty and loyal to the core. In a war thirteen years ago, Dale’s fath...

“Joey’s Journey” by P. Jean

Submitted to Contest #41

If you are a kid, and you are reading this, I don’t have to tell you how boring it is being with just your Mother for months and months. All she wants you to do is follow the rules and of course she makes the rules. Eat, sleep, grow...the three directives! It has been months of nothing but eat, sleep and grow! Well I’ve done that for five months but for a while now I’ve been able to play in the grass, roll around and, well you know , just play, but it always ends the same, back to warm and safe in her pouch to e...

“How much is this spaceship?” Arnold asked the man behind the counter.“Doesn’t it have a price tag?” The man asked.“If it has, I can’t find it,” Arnold said.“Let me take a look at it.”The man behind the counter took the toy from the boy and examined it closely. He didn’t remember ever seeing the object in the toy store, nor in any catalog from which he ordered his merchandise.He pretended checking his computer, and then lied: “Ah, now I see! It’s an item from our old stock. We don’t sell those anymore. You can have it for the bargain price o...

Submitted to Contest #41

elizaBEEth was ready to go with the first sign of light. Even if the sunlight didn’t wake her up, the sound of her thousands of sisters buzzing their wings did the trick. This was the way every day started. As soon as the sun went up, the sisters began their work. Some were guard bees, keeping watch day and night over the entrance. elizaBEEth looked at those stationed out there today. Good. They were the same ones from last night. She was always sad when new ones were there, because it meant something happened to them overnight. ...

“The Adventures Of A young Fox” by Haley Rush

Submitted to Contest #41

“Everything is fuzzy. Where am i?” I begin to think this as I wake up. My eyes slowly open, I don't feel control of my body. When I finally open my eyes I look at the change of scenery since I've seen blackness for two months. There's lots of animals near me, birds chirping all around me. I'm tiny and fragile. I look around quite terrified, where am I? All of a sudden I see another of my kind that's quite a bit bigger than me. They began to lick me as they were cleaning me. “Welcome my son to this new beautiful world”, she says. She be...

A Day in the Life of a Bumble Bee's Journey By: Sinegha Buzzz, buzz and here I go buzzing up as high as I can to get a glimpse of that sunrise.

“The Border Terrier” by Brian Haughey

Submitted to Contest #41

Open land engulfed the car. Rocks. Yellow grass. Bunched-up bushes. The window never rolled down. I wanted to stick my head out and smell the breeze. I wanted to taste the world. The window never rolled down. The man was never my favorite. We both knew who my master was. He pulled out his phone and talked into it. I could hear her on the other side. She sounded different since I last saw her. She had come home that day smelling something awful. Like unapologetic lust and beady testo...
