Igniting the Passion
Cherry growled, "...that's it?! That's all we're going to fucking do?" "For now," I nodded without looking away from my laptop. "For now?" he echoed my words, then grimaced. "We got the names of the bastards! Why don't we give, I don't know, an...
Heracles and the (Horny) Hellhound Part I
The entrance to Hades was inconspicuous to the mortals unaware of its façade. A simple cavern opening at the base of the valley nearest Mount Olympus itself. Not the grandest of entrances, mind you, but every parted soul drifted there once they...
Maverick Hotel Part 9 (NSFW)
The line between police officers and soldiers were blurred more than ever. Only a handful of them, as far as I could see from our height, seemed to wear the standard uniform of an enforcer of the law. The rest seemed more likely to belong in some...
Connecting the Dots
I arrived back to the cabin hours later, grocery bags placed in the passenger seat as my paws gripped the steering wheel in the vice. My eyes glowered between the winding road and my fingers as they trembled in shame. Anger. Disappointment....
Refuge in the Woods
The woodland forests and property up North rarely changed. Despite a new superstore here or a small cul-de-sac of housings there, they still held this undisturbed tranquility I often envied. Compared to the gentrifying, urban sprawl surrounding Lower...
#OpPrideMonth
The three-hundred square-foot apartment Lawrence and I shared had the perfect layout and location. Residing in a small town outside of Philly, we were only a few hours west of Manhattan City (as a proud New Jerseyan, I wasn't too fond of 'em), an hour...
A Distraction from Dying
Rocinha: the largest favela in all of Brazil, built atop a steep hillside overlooking the neon skyline of the country's capital, Rio de Janeiro. From the declining boulevard I just entered on, any of the thousands of lower-income residents or criminals...
Another Closet Case
Like almost every second Monday of the month, I spent a good portion sleeping in while Daniel got ready for work. Like clockwork, he'd be careful not to be too loud dressing himself, getting showered...
Maverick Hotel Part 11
A month passed since I arrived at the Buy-Mart, but it felt like an entire year. Whenever I wasn't listening to Vox or the other members' ramblings about the political state of...
Maverick Hotel Part 12 (NSFW)
We fled down the garage like literal criminals. Floor by floor. Heartbeat between heartbeats, tensing as Val swerved the minivan down to the second...
Codename Songbird
I always expected my life to end the way it eventually did. Until recently, the Devout States government assumed my name was Mary Elizabeth...
At Long Last
I woke up that day, thinking it was going to be like any other. A distant owl hooted beyond the half-opened window in my humid bedroom, echoing through the mobile home. My paw eagerly wandered down...
