You absolutely could not make this sh#* up!!! As a writer, I tell my agent we couldn't submit the Trump story, even as fiction, as no editors would consider it believable. In addition, they'd reject it for having no redeemable characters that readers would like.

Aww...thanks so much, Lori! That's awesome--I hope like enjoy it! The story was inspired by one of our elderly huskies taking me on a slow walk around our wooded back yard one morning. To me, he seemed to be saying his farewells to the flora and fauna... 🐕💞

Thanks so much, Cait - glad you liked it!

Fun fact: The main character here is the brother of the main character in Does a Bulldozer Have a Butt. And K-Fai modeled that main character after my then-young daughter, and the dad after me. 🙂

Beautiful - would be even more awe-inspiring if it was all Mother Nature. As one example, zoom in on the Moon and you can see some stars peeking through it.
