“Few knew about the castle hidden inside the island.”
King led me down the narrow cavern to his court hidden in the bowels of the craggy island. Spears of 
sunlight shot through the rock bathing the worn surface of his throne in golden tones. From this noble perch the King ruled his land with swift justice. A piercing bark would banish all wayward creatures. Only a favored few were allowed to grace his presence.
A small noise from some rocks shattered the quiet. King sprang into action. His powerful legs pumped. The mouse found a small hole and escaped. With a whine, King pawed at the opening. I soaked in his excitement, joy and frustration. Soon our weekly visit would come to an end. Visiting this island gave my English Springer Spaniel a chance to escape the confines of our apartment. A chance to be a dog and to be a true King for a day.

Really cute story, LL. My parents had a number of dogs, all different with their individual personalities. I enjoyed this story. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne

Nice story. I live in an apartment with my dog and feel so guilty sometimes! I take any chance I can to get her outside so she can run.
