    Flash Fiction: Furry Friend

    Photo by Kate Stone Matheson on Unsplash Morning sun crept through the bedroom window. Marlene yawned. A pounce jostled her. Her cat Butterscotch joined her in bed. The cat bumped Marlene’s back, forcing her to lift the covers so he could climb in. She complied, the drum of purring vibrating from beneath the covers. Marlene scratched beneath his chin. Her beloved roommate. The only “someone” she shared her apartment with. Another minute passed. The door squeaked open. She gla

    Flash Fiction Friday: Betrayal

    Caffeinated Convo: Dogs vs. Cats

    Yep! I went there! Okay, okay. I know this is a heated topic. (No fighting, guys!!) But I had to throw it out there. Why you ask? One simple answer: We got a kitty this week! Eep! His name is Max and we love that he has no tail! *swoon* (Born that way, so I think that makes him part Manx?) He’s playful and cuddly and has already become a part of our family. Which brings us to the question of the week: Are you a dog person or a cat person? Unfortunately, I’m going to mess thin
