An Actress Forgets Her Lines. Top Story - May 2023.
The actress stared into the distance, unable to speak. All traces of the character had fallen away. She stood there frozen, mouth agape, drenched in sweat. The words had vanished from her mind, replaced by fear, doubt, and self flagellation.

The Night Cat
I was enjoying the view from the sidewalk. It started to drizzle. I started to move, explore the city. I saw a guy getting mugged, nothing I could do. Was I going to meow the mugger away? I don’t think so. The smell of food was irresistible. I meandered to the trash behind the restaurant and dug through there garbage for left overs. I walked to an alleyway and found some other cool cats to keep me safe while I slept. Just as I was about to doze off, my owner found me, picked me up and brought me home.
