A Girl, Frank Burnside and Haile Selassie: A life-changing story

By Steve Laker

Sometimes, the end of one story is just the beginning of another. A Girl, Frank Burnside and Haile Selassie was written when a family member was lost: A dog. This is the story of Ellie ("Sparks"), aged 9 3/4 A girl dealing with life changes with the help of her talking dog (Frank Burnside), and both of them ever aware of the family cat (Haile Selassie). The story won first prize in Writing Magazine's "Life-changing" short story competition in 2016. "Every one wishes for things. That didn't work for me, so I wish for not things. When I wish for not things and things don't happen, that's wishes coming true."
