Cheese Lover
 the tale of an abusive relationship
by Adria Zessis

Tickled with joy the labradoodle spins on his back, twirling

dog-shapes into the matted grass. This funny mix was conceived one

dark night when his mother gazed at the moon in sadness and sighed,

thinking of sin and obsession (while his father thought of neither).


Unaware of his background, he rolls and curls in slobbering glee, not

knowing that in a years' time he too will crush and break a partner,

just like his father once did.
