fact or fiction

Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about our pets, like why dogs wag their tails and cats purr.

Puppy Luck
Here I am. Brand new at real estate. Well, not entirely because I’ve done it in the past but I’ve never really had the time to invest into it. My kids are finally back to school and the pandemic is nearing the end. Now is a good a time as any to start preparing for our futures. We are more financially stable than we have ever been so if it doesn’t work out, no big deal. I’ll just go back to doing what I used to do, customer service. Real Estate is just Face to Face customer service after all, isn’t it?

It is a dream. Is it a dream?
As she looked across the grassy field just under the mountains, a young girl stood at the edge of a little town. On the very edge of the Great Mountains that run along the left side of Turtle Island, a young world just about to evolve into a new age. A bright cloudless sky was the one thing that made this day so much braver. She knew in some way or another, she had to ascend the mountains. The town folks had found out her secret, and they were getting rallied up and wanting to kill. This wasn't good especially for her new friends who she could hardly wait to go back to, It was all she could think of and she only met them two days ago.

Verduga
Growing up, we always had a cow. Usually, we just rented one from someone who had a lot of cows in exchange for raising the calf. Generally speaking, cows are docile and calm, but one year we got a cow named Verduga: the executioner, the hangman, the tyrant. Instead of coming out of her head and curving gently towards her front, the horns came out and twisted wildly as if they had been hit by a tornado. Instead of a gentle mooing, she made a sound more like the roar of an injured lion. Most cows are very protective of their calves for the first couple of weeks, but as the calf gets older the cow loses interest and soon a person can do just about anything they want to the calf without causing a scene. Verduga’s calf was almost a year old a time when most cows have already stopped nursing their calves, but still she protected him more fiercely than even the most devoted new mother.

Mr. Poe the Crow and Me
The Corona19 Virus story and how it is told and remembered, will be either a fable, myth or apologue. That will depend on who is telling the story. How they behaved during that event. What they learned about others in living through the event. What they experience by watching loved ones, old ones, young ones and complete strangers die during the event.

Cats V/S Dogs: An Unsolved Mystery
Pet owners are always on a war, dog owners consider their pets to be paw-fect (see the word play, I like it) and cat owners argue that their little babies are absolutely purr-fect (okay, I think I might be good at this), this has been going on from ages and there seems to be no stopping, at all (believe me I have seen fights becoming nasty because of this) but the poor souls who go to both kinds of parents for an advice on the same, what to do about the fix they are in? Confusing and utterly frustrating isn't it? (You will surely start pulling your hair and scratching your head anytime soon now, I know).

Duck Whispering
"Hi, would you like to sign up for duck whispering?" The lady starts. My friend and I look at each other. "Duck whispering?" I repeat back. "Don't do this, Carlo." My friend and associate hisses in my ear, "We need to make it to the--"

Coba
Coba looked out through the bar’s of her cage at Rehtom. The bar’s were covered with chipped gold paint. Little bits of rust start to encroach what was once a beautiful enclosure. Sometimes the light would shine through the cracks of the drawn curtains just right so that the vibrant parts of the paint that remained would give off this heavenly glow. It was majestic enough to always bring Coba solace. Rehtom loved Coba… A face of soft creamy white feathers. This rounded heart traced the edges of Coba’s face. Soft and welcoming each feather delicately placed by fate.

The owl and the crow
Once upon a time, a long long time ago, birds were all white. Eagle and hawk, heron and plover, rooster and duck, each one of them had feathers pure as snow.

A More Perfect Cow - Part One -
For Sam I’d begun to suspect the cow was Jesus, but I don't think I wanted to admit it. Not really. Not yet. The first time was an accident. Second time was her doing. The third — I can’t reckon why, but I did it anyway, and my gun’s still hot as burning cast iron.
