“Bodhi's My Best Friend!” by Ted Daly

Submitted to Contest #41

BODHI’S MY BEST FRIEND! I bet every kid in the world, at some time I’m sure, has wanted a pet. I know I did. I kept asking my mom, and asking, “Mom, please can we get a puppy, please, please, please.” I figure, however, that everyone has endured the pains of disappointment, truly upset because some expectation, some hoping for, was not gratified. When we have our heart set on something, hearing ‘no’ is crushing. That’s why I’m happy to say, I got a new p...

“You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks” by Kayla Saddington

Submitted to Contest #41

Dog has lain next to Man for three days, no longer feeling the warmth that once radiated from his body. Someone scooters down the street and another dog barks. Dog raises an eyebrow, not expecting to hear footsteps approaching or for anybody to come in. Nobody has called. The postman hasn’t come by. Without any family and few friends, who would visit?Dog’s tummy rumbles for the hundredth time today. He’s already cleared out the scraps from the rubbish bin and licked the crumbs up from under the dining table. But Man continues to lie on the f...

“The Oceanic Voyage of Silver Dollar” by Leah Penny

Submitted to Contest #41

There once was a horse named Silver Dollar, who inhabited the city of Belfast on the Emerald Isle in the year 1912. The finest specimen of Irish Draft Horse in the country, he was of great stamina, sheer size, and beautiful anatomical design of muscle, bone, and sinew clothed in a bright fur of shining silver dapples. A local legend, he could haul large stocks of timber, pull carriages full of his family, and tout his owner and saddle of packs for longer than any other horse. The farmer who owned him said he had been blessed with ownership o...

“Tabatha’s journey” by Michele Stigers

Submitted to Contest #41

PromptAn animal who goes on a journeyTabatha’s Journey Tabatha walked into the house and roamed around. There wasn’t anyone home, just her. Seemed like a nice place to stay. She walked into the bedroom and made herself comfortable on the bed. A snooze seemed like a good idea. An hour later she opened her eyes and looked up at the person who most likely lived there. She stood and smiled. Certainly this person would think she was adorable. “Who are you and how did you get into my house?”Tabatha, stared at her not under...

Submitted to Contest #41

It wouldn’t be a lie if I call myself a traveler. I mean, at the beginning I never wanted to become one but now I can’t restrict myself from it. Now my only desire is to complete what I started 10years ago, that is to complete my world tour.Yes you heard it right I am on a mission to explore the entire world. A question might have aroused in your minds that if I was on world tour why it took me 10years, and still I hadn’t completed it. Well, the answer is, try to try what I am doing, once in your life, without any mode of transportation.Yes,...

He could talk.All animals can talk in their own special way, but Toffee could speak like a human. It was a secret he never shared with anyone, not even his best friend, Ash. He thought that if humans knew he could talk, they’d be very upset.Toffee was adopted from an animal shelter by Ash when he was just a puppy. He was sad to leave behind his mom and brothers, but he was happy that he had f...

“The Journey Home” by Megan Lanphere

Submitted to Contest #41

My whiskers twitched as I walked through the tall grass. I had to move quickly so I could avoid the large spotted creatures. They mostly ate grass, but they never paid attention when they sat down and I wanted to avoid being crushed. I made my way under the zapping wire and continued on towards the large structure that was filled with the dry grass. I’ve lived here for as long as I can remember. There are four of us in total that live in the dry grass, but they travel farther than I do and sometimes they are gone for days. The furthest I’ve ...

“Wayward Wolf in Wisconsin” by Tom Thrun

Submitted to Contest #41

Spring was just starting to come to the Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin, the part of the Badger State untouched by the receding glaciers. And so, too, had the lone two-year-old female wolf. She, of course, had no concept of it being March. And having found none of her own kind in these wooded ridges and ravines, she might have turned back. But she was driven now by something else deep in her wolf being. Her instincts and her enlarging belly signaled the need to search out a specific spot, someplace hidden that ...

“Dogo's Search for Fofo's Breath” by Khant Rain

Submitted to Contest #41

Girl Dragon Fofo puffed her chest and blew air out as hard as she could. Every dragon of the Dragon Village Ma had surrounded her with their eyes fixed.No fire came out of Fofo.Denying what had just happened, Fofo tried to blow air out again, but that attempt also failed miserably.“Seems like you can’t produce fire, my child. How about trying another kind of breath. Try poison,” one of the old dragons suggested.“You have green and pink scales, so you might be able to breathe out poison and flowers! Don’t give up, Fofo!” a sharp male voice so...
