The Alpha Female, by Mark Tulin
24/4/2020

No question Vanessa was brilliant. She went to the best university and was a true alpha female who everyone respected and admired.

Only a few years after graduation, Vanessa became the CEO of a major corporation of over twenty thousand employees. She controlled every aspect of the company. She bought a large house in an upscale community with fifty acres of land and put up a massive fence to assure her safety.

She controlled every aspect of her life, except for one thing—her cat. Her cat was an alpha feline who had a much stronger need to control than Vanessa.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    It would seem that cats have only one letter in their alphabet: alpha?

    Oh what a giggle! That so reminds me of Bunny. She’s exactly like Vanessa’s cat. When she wants something, she’ll let us know without a doubt and gets it!
