Five-Word Animal Stories #1

In my long career as a published author(1), this is my shortest work, only five words. Except there are thousands of them. Unlike strictly random generations, these are literary compositions that can be read and enjoyed like any fine piece of writing. In no other way can you get a unique short story from me—and these include puppees and horsie-cows!(2)

(1) Novels published by Villard, Pinnacle, Tor. Short fiction published in numerous magazines and journals.

(2) As a child, my sister called horses and cows “horsie-cows,” a term that will live forever.
