Remember to feed the dogs - must get more food. Water the plants and feed the dogs - this will take an hour... Don't run late. Running late - grab a cup of tea, not a coffee. Coffee = migraine.

Mice
Scratching in the wall. Don’t worry, you say. The dog will get it. I look at your elderly companion. I wonder. Perhaps you have over-estimated his abilities? No, you say. He will come through. Except, he doesn’t. He tried. He failed. You never said anything, just turned up the volume. This is a fifty word… Continue reading Mice
Reflections in Puddles
I don't normally do the dpchallenges but this one intrigued me as it is more like an interview than a piece of fiction. And I thought I'd have a go.
