A Taste of Snow

By Kathleen Kimball-Baker

Sasha could smell the smoke from a wood-burning stove ahead.

Her weary followers lowered their heads against the blizzard.

Far behind, the woman in a parka clung with one arm,

her eyelashes frozen shut.

Reaching the cabin, Sasha’s cries awakened the man inside.

He found her in a heap,

licking ice off her paws.

Shadows and Light

By Kathleen Kimball-Baker

The ‘copter hovered, blades flattening the tall prairie grass.

Jess crouched beside a boulder, blending into the rock’s shadow.

She held tight to the albino fox kit, cooing to it softly.

I won’t let them have you, no matter what.

Jamison shook his head.

“No, Professor King, I did not intentionally leave the lab unlocked.”

Little Linnie

by Kathleen Kimball-Baker

Only mice spoke to Little Linnie. No one else really understood.

She’d open throw her closet, muse on her choices, then select.

Today I will be Cinderella.

“Mr. and Mrs. Crawford,” the doctor said, “Belinda is, well, demented.”

Linnie’s parents cried.

“We may be able to help with drugs."

Linnie listened.

No! Leave her be.

The Good Son

by Kathleen Kimball-Baker

If walls could talk, Gibbs would certainly be sacked.

Not that he failed to execute his tasks with utmost discretion.

And he always tended to ailing Lord Mortimer’s needs with tact and haste.

But on certain evenings, when everyone had retired,

Gibbs polished knives, forks, and spoons -- 

silverware he traded to pay his mother’s debts.
