Free Short Story: Pawprints in the Snow

December 17, 2018Written by Dara

Paul Gibbons didn’t like cats.
But the skinny cat on his doorstep looked near death and its haunting green eyes pleaded for his help.
He wanted to turn away. He needed to protect his secret.
However, he couldn’t look away and let the cat in.
A decision that could cost him his life or be his salvation.
A fantasy story about facing one’s destiny.
