Free Fiction Monday: Un-Familiar
Winston’s familiar Ruby, a small black cat, avoids dogs whenever possible. So when Winston finds her in cahoots with a toy poodle-Chihuahua mix, he wants to know why.
Ruby, usually so vocal, says nothing. Her silence, that dog, and a storm in the Oregon Coast community of Seavy Village all combine into one of the most memorable days of Winston’s life.

“Un-Familiar” warmed my heart. Thank you. Wish I had a Familiar like Rudy. More stories like this please.
And thanks!
Will do. I have many plans for Winston & Ruby. I just need to get to them!
Looking forward to reading them. I absolutely adore Ruby’s ‘cattitude’.
Love Ruby! Will have to look up more of these stories. I like familiars.
One of the Very Best yet. Perfect !
Thank you so much for this absolutely lovely story. It brought tears to my eyes, but with the ending they turned to tears of joy. Thank you again.
