Trading Places
A short story that I've been meaning to write up. Based around and expanded from a little RP session myself and Jevin held a while back, I finally got round to starting on my downtime over the AC period :) It involves a pair of wolves, one big, one...
Weight On My Shoulders
_ **Weight On My Shoulders** _ My eyes struggled to adjust. I threw up a hand to protect them from the summer sun, grimacing from the scalding heat. Like I needed any more reasons to turn tail and run back inside. Registration might've come and gone...
Writer's Block
_ **Writer's Block** _ "None of this works!" I launched my pen clear across the desk. The pad I used to jot down ideas followed it right after. These blank pages glaring back just pissed me off even more. It'd been forever and a day since I'd managed...
Small-scale Surgery
_ **Small-scale Surgery** _ '_Stopping off at the store later. What would you like for dinner?'_ My husband's text half-distracted me from the patient file I'd almost finished up with. I'd not long since scoffed down some lunch, but that didn't stop...
Hangover
_ **Hangover** _ "Hey," called Dan, arriving back at our table with a beer in one hand and a metal tray balanced on the other. "Which of you got the rum and lemon?" I waved up at him. Easier than trying to shout above the noise of the dusky bar...
Wrecked
_ **Wrecked** _ I wanted to die. Lucky as I might've been not to have done so already. Here in the dark, up in the hills in the middle of only gods knew where, I sat staring past the cracks in my windscreen. Better that than at the petrified polecat...
Fear and Desire - Part 1: Inner Turmoil
The first part of my latest story, 'Fear and Desire'. I've marked it as clean, but just to give a heads up for anyone who may care, this does contain some strong language in places. I did originally plan on posting the whole story once i'd completed...
The Treehouse
**_The Treehouse_** Jason dashed excitedly through the kitchen towards the back door. A cheerful smile beamed from his little face. "Mum, I'm going out to play in mine and Dad's treehouse, yea?" he cried out. "Hold on a minute!" she called after...
Lunchtime at Riki's (AaO Universe Side Story)
_ **Lunchtime at Riki's** _ "Things are gonna be okay," I called up to Zoran, backing away from the doorway of our apartment as he stormed in with the morning's mail in paw. "Don't get worked up about it." "Don't get worked up!?" he boomed,...
Strained
**_Strained_** The clatter of cutlery against plate sounded, bringing the idle chatter around the dinner table to a halt. "Whacha looking at, Kurt?" "Nuffin," the bulky, mud brown coyote mumbled from the seat opposite, smiling...
Captive
_ **Captive** _ _For Dax / Orion_ Tech moved fast in this system. Clients accepting DNA scans of their targets remotely sure helped reduce the legwork that came with bounty hunting. In fact, it allowed Orion to kill two birds with one stone; he...
Grenzen
_ **Grenzen** _ Our narrow wooden stairs squealed with each descending step. An awkward night's sleep had left my neck sore and my back surely twisted. My kingdom for a bed of quality to match that I had left behind in Linvendia. My manor, too, for...
