Just a girl who walks dogs and hangs out in cemeteries. Stay feral, y'all.
Sunday morning began with a lie. “I’m just going to sit here for five minutes.” I said this at 9:12am while lowering myself onto the couch with a cup of coffee and a blanket. At 10:47, I was still there. In my defense, I had been very busy. I had adjusted the blanket twice, checked... Continue Reading →
Lake Memphremagog stretches across the international border between Quebec and Vermont, surrounded by mountains, forests and communities that have lived alongside its waters for generations. It is a beautiful lake, but for more than two centuries, people have reported seeing something unusual moving beneath its surface. The creature has become known as Memphré. Descriptions vary...

At 7:12 on a perfectly peaceful Saturday morning, Susan looked out her front window and saw a traffic cone sitting at the end of her driveway. This was unusual because Susan did not own a traffic cone. She stared at it for several seconds, waiting for an explanation to present itself. None did. Naturally, Susan... Continue Reading →

The reports came from Chatham-Kent, an area better known for sprawling agricultural fields, small woodlots and communities along the Thames River than for vast stretches of wilderness.

Sunday morning, Melissa woke up with a plan. This was her first mistake. She was going to clean the house, do the laundry, organize the kitchen, water the plants and maybe even relax afterward. Adorable. She started by putting a load of laundry in the washing machine. While that was running, she decided to empty... Continue Reading →
I went to the grocery store for three things. Bread, bananas, and toothpaste. Three things. This should have taken approximately seven minutes, assuming I walked at a reasonable pace and successfully avoided making eye contact with anyone I knew. Forty-five minutes later, I was standing at the self-checkout with seventeen items. I don't know what... Continue Reading →
It was supposed to be a nice walk. Those were the exact words I said as I reached for the leashes. “Come on, guys. We’re just going for a nice walk.” Looking back, I realize this was arrogant. You should never announce your plans in front of dogs. They hear optimism and immediately interpret it... Continue Reading →
At 8:14 on Saturday morning, Isabelle woke up feeling ambitious. This was unusual. Normally, Saturday morning Isabelle believed strongly in remaining horizontal until her bladder presented a legally binding eviction notice. But on this particular morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains, birds were singing, and somewhere deep inside her brain, a deeply irritating voice whispered,... Continue Reading →
At 7:03 on Monday morning, Lily decided she was going to become a calm person. Not eventually. Not after therapy, personal growth, or several years living alone in a cabin where nobody could find her. Today. She had watched a video the night before featuring a suspiciously peaceful woman wearing beige linen who explained that... Continue Reading →
