Iperspective Stories

A dog disappears from the safety of its owner's home, but nobody wants to believe her that the old girl has been kidnapped. With the help of his faithful dog Woofsen and his clever cat Holmes, Private detective John Roe sets out to find answers. Crime short story (approx. 15,000 words) 'Woofsen and Holmes lead a quiet and - for one of them - boring life. One day a young woman appears on their owner's doorstep to ask the private detective for help, and they are certain - without the support of his faithful dog and clever cat, private detective John Roe is at a loss in his search for the missing dog.' This story is the first I've dared to write in a long time. Apart from a few first chapters of countless bad fantasy stories I wrote in my youth, this is the first coherent narrative I've ever written (excluding school assignments and even those were, phew..., ten years and more ago). This is also my first English translation. I myself am not a native speaker and this was just another form of writing exercise for me. If you want to help me improve my English skills, please feel free to help me better my grammar and diction. It would mean a lot to me. Even though this story is a detective story, my main focus is on giving the few characters that appear in this narrative their own voices and behaviours. I see this story as an exercise in adopting a point of view that was previously unknown to me - that of the faithful dog Woofsen. I hope you enjoy the characters as much as I enjoyed writing them. If you like 'Sherlock Holmes' style stories, then this could be one for you. Have fun with Woofsen, John and Holmes!

This is a short story I wrote for my English class. I hope you like it and please correct me if something is wrong. English is not my native language and I don't write so often.

Heya! Time has come for me to FINALLY write my first story, which probarbly throught won't be as long as it should be, since it is my first time writing such a story, but I hope you'll enjoy anyways! (Character: I perspective of a boy called Nico)
