Can it be true? A “short story” is classified as “prose fiction”, but here’s a brief story my wife Kay wrote that is actually true:
Rocky Raccoon
Help!! In November 1978, a raccoon got into our house on H Street — very scary! I called Father, and he warned us to be careful, as they can be dangerous. Finally, Animal Control came and saved our family from the wild intruder. We were so grateful.
