Raiyev Part 16
"I can't leave without Brad," Raiyev pleaded desperately to the diminutive Dr. Frost as she fumbled with the thin glass plate that opened one of the walls to Raiyev's cell. She stared at him a moment, a certain hasty panic in her eyes. "You have...
InterRealm - Chapter 6
"Remind me again _why_, precisely, we wanted these guys with us?" Oren gritted softly to Edgar while the teenagers jabbered incessantly in the rear seats of the SUV. Zach and his raven friend, Douglas, had decided to tag along, while the skeptical...
Raiyev Part 15
Raiyev sat up with a jolt, cold sweat matting his fur. He panted heavily, coughing as he looked around. _Where am I?_ he thought. He was no longer strapped down on the table like he was before, but was now in what looked to be a large prison cell. The...
Raiyev Part 14
The heavy flick of a large switch echoed loudly, and a harsh and bright white light shined onto Raiyev, coaxing him out of his slumber. He writhed as he awoke, but found that he couldn't move. He was laying flat on his back, facing up into a blinding...
Raiyev Part 13
A tiny dragonfly exploring the meadow landed on the slumbering Raiyev's large nose to rest its wings. The giant raccoon's nose twitched at the tickling sensation, and he woke up gently, opening his eyes to stare up at the cloudless, pale blue sky, the...
Raiyev Part 12
"GODDAMMIT, RAIYEV!" the grizzled old horse shouted at the giant raccoon. The sky was a dry, pale blue, and the sun scorched down from above, slowly burning Raiyev's back as he slouched over, his head hanging down and his tail limp. He couldn't fit...
Raiyev Part 11
The first thing that truly hit Raiyev's mind hard when he realized that Harper was really gone was how he was going to be losing one of the few people who actually might know how to help his situation. Ever since he accidentally injected himself with...
Ruined Nights: Part 4
"I think I'm a murderer," Sylvia said shakily, gulping hard. We were sitting in her bedroom on her queen-sized bed. William had gone to take a nap for the afternoon, so Sylvia and I felt safe talking for now. I was here for her, of course--I loved her....
Ruined Nights: Part 3
I decided to try and sleep in my own bedroom, since I didn't know Sylvia well enough yet to share a bed with her. I barely slept, though, fitfully turning in my bed as the images of my accident kept replaying in my mind. I was afraid, for the most...
Ruined Nights: Part 2
"This is a good cognac," I remarked somewhat wetly as I reclined in the deep plush leather chair, one arm resting nonchalantly on the huge arm. The drawing room was massive, to say the least, fitting in nicely with the rest of the villa. I couldn't...
Ruined Nights: Part 1
28 years is a long time to be away from reality. That's how long I was out, they told me--that's how long my coma lasted. I remember waking up lying in a hospital bed, the bright white lights blinding me, my eyes hurting from lack of use. It felt so...
Raiyev Part 10
Raiyev was a bit uneasy going back to work after lunch. He meandered slowly down the long corridor of his building before entering Lab 8. What did she have against him and his fiancée? Why did Bilicek seem to have it in for him and Brad? Or did she...
