The Manuscript

They found their grandfather's manuscript buried in a box in the corner of the attic. It was almost thrown out with yearbooks and tax documents that not even an archeologist would find interesting. But Rebecca saw Papa's name typed on the cover page, and fortunately set it aside for later examination.

There was debate over what they would find inside. The consensus was it would most likely relate to Papa's service in World War II, though the sisters were pulling for a good old-fashioned love story about their grandmother.

No one was expecting a Romantasy novel featuring centaurs and fairies.

For the prompts Manuscript and Letter.

What's Up Pussycat?

An elderly lady made an urgent call to the vet because her cat was off her food.

The vet carried out a full examination before pronouncing.

‘I have some wonderful news for you Miss Soames. Your lovely tortoiseshell is pregnant and will soon have a litter of kittens. Congratulations!’

‘That’s impossible. She never goes out. She always stays in the house.’

Just then, an old and battered ginger tom walked into the kitchen and began to munch on some food.

‘I bet that he’s the culprit,’ the vet said.

‘Don’t be ridiculous,’ she said through red cheeks. ‘That’s Dewdrop’s brother.’
