Christmas Coda
Sean checked the number on the house one more time to be sure. The coywolf didn't know what he'd been expecting, but an old Victorian house with pointy turrets and a big porch wasn't it. Not that he had any reason to, there were several others in the...
This Rock
"Look, John, ain't neither of us gettin' off this rock anytime soon, so why don't you just cool your heels and let me work?" Helena Dunham, coywolf bitch and damned fine engineer, she was not the least shy to admit, glared at John until she was sure...
Gate-Keeper
"Transport CH-42, this is Tannman Control. Please advance to transport position and state your mass." Ren scratched behind one of his large, triangular ears and keyed in a course to jump position, then answered. "Tannman Control, CH-42. Roger, moving...
Desert Nights
Krystof fidgeted in the passenger seat. It was hot, dusty, and he had no idea how long he was going to be there. His guide, Iskandar, had pulled the utility vehicle into the border crossing's inspection area after what sounded like an argument with the...

A Certain Class
Light flickered over the windshield as I drove along the tree-covered drive. It was the sort of thing that always made my eyes hurt, but it was nice, too. I kept driving -- I had just cut out of work for lunch and a break was sorely needed. My ears...

Memories
The old wolf sighed and lifted his glass, nosing into the glass and drinking in the rich history of the whiskey. Distilled in Kentucky, aged in fresh, charred oak casks, its notes of vanilla and oak flooded his senses. He took a sip and sighed as it...
Somewhere In The Cypress
"Ahh, no! No! Not again! Not now!" The beam from the flashlight sputtered and died, and Alex smacked it firmly, as though it would help. It might -- the light had always been a little finicky. He'd never gotten around to replacing it because it had...
