Here is an example by our Vice President:
Cat House by Peter Baillie
It was the 3rd or 4th place I lived in after leaving home. The house was in a beautiful setting in an old neighbourhood in Burlington, Ontario featuring mature trees and red bricked houses. Summer was a magical time except at first light when the birds roused my cat to lunacy. The bedroom was a loft that cut into the roof line. The cat would naturally seek warmth next to me as we slept, but as soon as those birds caught first light, the cacophony would stir the instincts of the feline predator. I would wake to claws as the agitated cat paced back and forth on my chest. Then the lunatic beast would spring at the ceiling, never seeming to realize
the birds were on the other side of the roof.
Please do not contact us about the state of your submission. All writers whose work is selected will be contacted prior to publication.
