Greenhouse
_Greenhouse_ _ _ "So now that the loop is finished, how do I get it to display the result?" Mary couldn't occupy the display while Anthony was trying to code a program on it, so she responded only with her voice. "Erm, first, in this language you...
A Bare Planet
_A Bare Planet_ _ _ Nakira Prime. Anthony saw a whole hodgepodge of organic bodies of all shapes and sizes, even more than he'd seen in the segregated little bipedal section of the Omnimart he'd meandered through, and he felt nearly no insanity. The...
Omnimart
_Omnimart_ _ _ Anthony stood absolutely bewildered by the planet-sized superstore. It had begun with the parking lot. Spindles of metal arms and tubes extended out from the planet sized superstore, the docking and transportation railways spread...
A New Day
_A New Day_ So here I am, wandering the universe with a humanoid dragon. Actually, the fact that he was humanoid or a dragon didn't seem so weird now. Nature, as Zack had explained to me, is actually pretty lazy. The vast majority of sentient life in...
Reconnecting
_Reconnecting_ Anthony stepped out of his log cabin and felt the soggy grass's wetness pierce through his worn out sneakers. Three days of rain had locked him in the old vacation home his great-grandfather had built by hand, but the sun at last...
Through the Night
_Through the Night_ "Shit." Matt huddled in the corner of the supply carriage while the conflagration before him crept closer to his legs. He wished he hadn't taken this stupid job. He was tasked with transporting a bunch of contained fire...

Giving Back
_Giving Back_ How long had it been? Almost five years? He was ready. Ryan had managed to keep David a secret from his gang for quite a while. He had managed to train the small dragon into an excellent rogue, his size helping greatly, but the wolf...
Charity's Grace
_Charity's Grace_ _ _ David was running as hard as he could. The wolf had seemed like an easy target, but he had turned out to be faster than he looked, both mentally and physically. The wolf was tall, usually meaning that he was slower than...
Family Part 1
_Family_ It was eighteen years ago when it happened. The region around the Nekume mountains was under the protection of a pair of mated dragons, Runalesca and Hiosky, a blue female and a red male, respectively. Human villages dotted the area known...
By Fire or Ice
_By Fire or Ice_ _ _ Anivia was right. The world would end in ice. The flames crackled in our fireplace. We had no more fuel to feed it. It was the only thing keeping us alive. We, my mate and I, had moved our bed next to the fireplace. We kept it...
Winter Illusions
_Winter Illusions_ Roy laughed as he tossed a fireball through a ring of water that his other half, Jonathan, was making. The two were performing their magic act at the Hollywood and Highland Center, a large outdoor shopping mall located quite a...
