Hollow Eyes (Man & Woman to Cow)
Bentram woke up in a cell laying on cold concrete, unsure of where he was and turning into a monster. He wasn't sure which of these were the most alarming. Probably the monster part. Normally he was awoken by his alarm clock, signifying he needed to...
Lateral Move 2: First Honeymoon
"Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are...
Strays
There was no one Jenny hated more on the Planet Earth than Adalyn Fucking Middleton, and it was only going to get worse. They had known each other since the fourth grade and had hated each other all the way up through high school. It had started off as...
Daily Trials
Note: This is in my "Dorin-thinks-military-contracts-are-bad" universe (the one that started with Lateral Move), and is a sequel to the cleverly-named The Trial But With Pig TF. It probably isn't necessary to read that one first, but it couldn't hurt....
The Mongrel
"The bats are in the belfry "The dew is on the moor "Where are the arms that held me? "And pledged her love before? "And pledged her love before" --Tom Waits, Innocent When You Dream --- Note to the Reader - This one is dark. Some people have...

Wear and Tear

The Faithful
"You will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth." --God, who loves you quite a lot apparently Church was everything to Maria. In her eyes, it was everything to everyone, although some unlucky souls just didn't know it yet. The...
Hollow Eyes 2: Coming Home
A cabin sat alone in the woods, awaiting the return of its owner as it had for several months. But it was a pleasant place to wait. The woods in the mountains of North Carolina are something out of a storybook. Tolkien could write at least a trillion...
The Mongrel, part III
"So tear me open but beware "There's things inside without a care "And the dirt still stains me "So wash me ... till clean "I'll tear me open, make you gone "No longer will you hurt anyone "And the hate still shapes me "So hold me, until...
Hello My Name is Jolene (Woman > Opossum Anthro)
There was a fire in Jolene's swamp, and she couldn't be happier. A fire meant change. A fire meant excitement. A fire meant something different was happening, something interesting in the least interesting place in the western hemisphere. A sodden bog...
Lateral Move 2
"There's a big old goofy man "Dancing with a big old goofy girl "Ooh baby "It's a big old goofy world." --John Prine * * * Now * * * "This is it then?" Mark felt ridiculous. Dark alley. Man in trenchcoat. An unmarked package slipped from one...
