Spirits (Part One)
"Are you gonna go or not?" Baruna looked down at the water, then at Jeru again. She got up on her toes and peered intently into the depths, her tail whipping nervously. "I...changed my mind." The young fox crossed his arms. "But you gotta, we...
Once More Before the Light...
The love-making was powerful, ardent, passionate, and very deep. The beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed vixen moaned and wrapped strong legs and ankles around trembling warmth, held it and cherished it, even as a slick, almost-burning hot, barbed shaft...
Brute Force: Identity Theft
It was referred to in most of his circles as a brute-force attack, an exhaustive, cryptanalytic attack on a computer system that randomly and systematically entered and checked nearly a hundred entries per minute, trying all possible keys and...
The Midnight Swim
If you find yourself visiting down amongst the simple folk here in Delaware, Ohio, doubtless you've come across a tale or two about our small town from time to time. From the big Chanoa train wreck of aught-five, to the Winsord Tiger murders of '29,...

_Are you sure you want to quit? (yes/no)_ I'd see that option coming up in my video games all the time, when I'd been going at it a little too long and I felt my eyes going bleary and watery. There's a time to just quit living that virtual life,...
Collared and Knotted
It was 5:05 on a Friday and the worst day of the week to be staying after work. Corbyn Jones got up from his desk, nearly knocking over a stack of papers as he hurried to put on his sport-coat, clamping the cordless against his ear. "No, sir. I've...
