Bark (definition): A short, sudden laugh. My fifty-word story “Fido’s Lament” is now online at 50 Give or Take, 50-word stories published daily by Vine Leaves Press. Subscribers get a story in their email inbox every day. Read this one and bark (or indulge in a long, leisurely chuckle). To subscribe and/or submit your own story — both are free — go to 50 Give or Take. Everyone is welcome.
