The Bear Witness of Climate Change. Top Story - March 2023.
The congressional environmental committee had been engaged in deep debate over climate change; the democrats were determined to lower America’s dependency on fossil fuels, while the republicans insisted on their Trumpian position to protect the use of coal and oil. Suddenly the lockdown alarms blared wildly throughout the building. The senators waited patiently for an announcement through the PA system on what the possible threat is, but the intercom produced static in response. The committee fell into a wordless atmosphere with fear replacing the heat of the debate. No one dared to speak.

Gooses
She sifts through the bag: eggs, spinach, tartlets. Tartlets? What a name. A ray of lemony sun makes her squint and she breathes in. It’s nice here on the river. Like a reiteration of a simple program: every day groceries, walk by the river, breathe in the sun, photograph the geese. Gooses, she says. Goose-gooses. Geese sounds silly.

The Curious Call of the Calico Cat
The calico cat had been calling the White House for months. It was a strange situation, to say the least, but it was not the first time a random citizen had called to offer advice on some pressing issue. However, it was first time it was a cat, much less a calico.

The Muse and the Mouse
The Muse and the Mouse “I don’t want to do it,” said the roach, preening his hind leg nervously. A bit of dust garbled his words, twisting his whining into unintelligible clips. The mouse raised her eyebrows and cocked her head to the side, pausing, then her eyes widened like two tiny saucers as she finally grasped her anxious cohort’s meaning.
