The Inkwell presents: Cautionary Tails

This year, we've had a lot of fun writing from different viewpoints, and this month continues the trend. In fact, we take a step far outside the norm and ask our writers - what would it be like to write from a completely non-human perspective? Or more specifically, from an animal's viewpoint.

So many stories, even those that fall into the genres of fantasy or science fiction, are told from a very human perspective. They focus on mortal concerns and interactions that are familiar to us. But what if those same things are considered by a creature without the context for them? That interpreted the world through a very different lens? That, as some say, would be an adventure.

So, as we see the world through different eyes, we must ask - how will everything change?

In Want of a Hunter - A new addition to the flock has all the sheep worried
Bear in a Birdcage - Raven doesn't want Bear to end up like the rest in these cages.
Harbinger of Hunger - Hunter and hunted have more in common than either suspects
Behind the Lines - Man must let Wolf take control in order to survive
Veni, Vidi, Vican - This feline is more difficult to catch than she first appears
