My Entry:
Katherine Pennywag walked down 5th Avenue with a smug face looking down her nose at everyone she came across. They all knew her as the heiress billionaire who spent freely everywhere. Only in one lavish department store window setup there sat a cat, or a dog, that looked back at her with the same reproach. Of course Katherine Pennywag had to stop and stare to meet the gaze of this cat, or dog? Most creatures looked away instantly upon meeting the eyes like bullets loaded in a shotgun nose that threatened their very existence. Only Katherine Pennywag found herself locked in a first ever staring contest with this cat, or dog, in a fur coat. So she stood there for a while as people walked around her on the busy sidewalk of Manhattan’s upper side. It even started to rain, Katherine Pennywag had not prepared for this kind of weather. Doubt flooded her demeanor and she could not shake it off. Finally she broke her stare wiping away rain like tears from her soggy eyes. Katherine Pennywag’s clothes ruined. Only she walked inside the department store and demanded to know if a cat, or a dog, sat in the window? She then bought it for $150,000 on the spot only she made it walk with her all the way home.
Thank you,
