Joining the Corrupted
I got bit by a werewolf. And survived. Everyone knew what that meant, even me, in my shock. So I hid it from them. My classmates, my friends. Yeah. Nobody needs to know. Except I feel it now, crawling up my arm. Beckoning me to let it spread. The...
Waiting to be Human
He admired himself once more, under the clouded sky, Benath the moonlit skein, which reflected in a sparkling, Golden eye. "I embrace this." he whispered, as he wrapped his arms about his companion. She too, as a fox-woman, tittered, As they...
A Trap I Laid
Bundled muscles tensing Crackling bones and marrow Shifting of a shimmering soul From civilized to feral Stench, sweet and sour musk From dusky black upon cremy white The plume of a foul and fine tail Swishes in the sacred moonlight His...
The Problem in The Fields
The Farmer was a strong, healthy man, and the things he tended to were healthy and good. Carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes--crops for countless seasons of meals and profit could be grown in his myriad fields. He had even managed to erect a henhouse,...
Zookeepers
_Time to lock up,_ thought Trish. A third satisfying month of work, tending to the animals, dirty a job as it may have been, suited her proclivity and love for them. Brushing past the last of the arctic exhibits, she shivered at the air-conditioning....
A Heaven on Earth
_Heaven. One man's Heaven could very well be another man's Hell._ I pondered that thought as I felt the babies kicking inside my belly. For them, perhaps, this was Hell. I had taken them as my victims--those of lacking conviction--to be my own young,...
How I Had My Little Happy Heresy
"Back, foul devil!" he cried, holding forth a bent cruxifix--Lord Jesus melted by the flames of the world's combined passions. He was a pastor, sure as the suit he wore on his body, and he must have had the delusion of saving lives even now, in this...
How I Got My New Master
What a dirty world we sure did live in, in those last days. He touched me with his hand, upon my scrotum, and said: "This will do, young one, are you ready?" In his teasing, taunting demon way--my flesh naked, stroked and caressed by his infernal...
Unbearably Devoured
"Alright, Jackpot!" I roared, raising my burly arms into the air, covered in thick brown fur. Taking stock of the alterations, I rubbed my new, six-foot ten body, including the golden _666_ that'd etched itself across my stomach. Well, that had been...
Objection
By any means be the one to the goal. Whatever that may mean. Seems it's the drive of all mankind. "Only I achieved." "I was the Hero." Selfishness. Yet, here is more; "It is only right that we volunteer ourselves for the greater good." And to...
Meat
Grinding nails, pulling up flakes, the taste of garlic. Pain. Thoughts of malaise. "Why me?" Restless nights, and slept-through days. Pictures of women--not human, not animal--both. _Kami no Kitsune._ Bad habits, worse reflection. A handsome face...
That Boy's Buried Principle
Bodily freedom is a hard thing to come by But I won't stop! To feel the rush of the wind in my hair--no pain, no itching, no misery One sleek animal promises to me, I can run, swift and be free--no, be me! No more lament, just moving forward on all...
