Crushing The Competition (Pilot)
Ralph hated getting coffee at the office cafeteria. The company's open office plan meant that even the parts of the campus walled off for junior employees were encased in glass so you were visible to anyone who happened to be walking by. Like your...
Aftershocks (Pilot)
"It's weird how everything looks almost exactly the same. Except for us, maybe." The Badger next to Jorge rumbled his amusement as he waved to the crowds lining the streets. Jorge simply kept his muzzle frozen in a tight smile. Angels Boulevard was...
Big Sky (Pilot)
Big Ed's Diner was a dark and dingy place, but it had earned that designation from sheer endurance through the ages. The lights hanging down from the low ceiling were coated with decades of grease, struggling to light the cracked vinyl and well-worn...
Dungeon Monsters (Pilot)
Ringo's tongue stuck out one side of his muzzle as he fiddled with the lockpicks, trying to find the right mechanism to push down. It wouldn't surprise him if the lock itself was trapped, fitted with extra grooves that would explode or something if he...
Crushing The Competition #02: Peer Review
Ralph's stomach was knotted with worry through the entire subway ride to his office, a small square building with a view of farmland to the east and more buildings everywhere else. He kept replaying his conversation with Sam in his head, couldn't stop...
Crushing The Competition #01: Coffee Break
If Ralph had to feel one more animal's balls against the back of his head, he was going to lose it. The bear behind him loomed against him so closely his heavy stomach was practically resting on Ralph's ears. The snow leopard could feel the twitch of...
Crushing The Competition #03: A Good Start to a Bad Night

Gift Exchange, Part 1: Let's Go, Go, Go!
"You're too big for this," Jakebe said. "Are you sure the tailor got the right measurements?" The jackalope was decked out in his finest dress -- a black three-piece suit over a crisp white shirt, which had sleeves just long enough to show off his...
The Bite (Part 3)
Aaron Sweetgrass stood in the wreckage of the warehouse that he had just outgrown, his hooves punching deep prints into the ancient parking lot outside. The darkened street lamps had to be around ten or twelve feet high, and they didn't even reach his...
The Bite (Part 2)
"I'm telling you, this isn't normal. I don't feel right." Aaron was sitting at his dining room table for the first time in three days. He had been let out of the hospital late the night before, but he was so tired he went straight to bed. The last 72...
The Bite (Part 1)
Aaron was a fairly big guy, but even he knew better than to be caught in this neighborhood at night. It seemed like most of the street lights were burned out or broken, any cars that lined the curb were up on blocks or two dilapidated to steal, and...
The Lifeguard of Redondo Beach
Kate had been told there was something different about Redondo Beach. There had been attack there last summer, of course, and everything was closed down while the government came in and cleaned up the biological agents that had contaminated half the...
