An Outing with Mattock
The lines at the grocery store stretched halfway back to the deli, giving me plenty of time to count the reasons I was itching to get back home to my mates. Most pressing was that my diaper was soggy to the point of sagging, and I had to keep pulling...
Learning the Ropes
I was surprised to start getting responses to my personal ad. I mean, I knew I wasn't _hideous_-looking, but I was over thirty--past the age of 'gay death'--my slowing metabolism had already put close to a hundred pounds on my college weight, and I...
Delivering the Eggs
So, I may be in the egg business, and I may be a rabbit, but please, _please_ don't call me an Easter bunny. Just--first off, there's more to me than just a holiday. And anyone over the age of five who calls me a 'bunny' is just _asking_ for a kick in...
Alf's New Job
"Alfie!" _I wish she wouldn't keep calling me that,_ I thought. _I'm not_ eight _anymore._ I got off the couch and looked down the balcony. "What?" "I'm going out with Sheila this morning, can you take your father to his appointment? Thank you!" I...
Low Breeding
The bite of winter on my nose and the crunch of snow under my paws were a gentle distraction from the feast in the margrave's mansion--my familiar was out hunting. Ever since we'd bonded we'd shared one soul across two bodies, but there were times...
The Castoffs
It was just starting to snow when I got to the mall, just a few minutes before I was due to service one of the vending machines. Business had been unusually brisk this season, and the machines had all been in place for a few years now and were starting...
Making Memories
> `03:15 >` **Hey remember that time we went to the movies?** The lion's message was waiting for me when my alarm went off that morning, and I looked at my phone in confusion. We hadn't met IRL yet--though we'd been growing more intimate online, he...
Flip 2: Blue Moon Back Room
The next day, you're walking around campus with a satchel slung over your back. You can't wait to get started. The satchel is full of copies of your menu--the list of all the ways anyone who wants to interact with you can change you. All they have to...
Franks
I sat by my otter on the sparsely-populated bleachers, waiting for the game to start. Mattock's softball league was just starting the season and even though I was far too sedentary to join him--and Darkwater wouldn't be able to make most of the...
And Be Merry
It's hard to guess, sometimes, the things a fellow will do when he's under a curse. I mean, there are the obvious kinds of curse--you turn green, you turn into a chicken, you start thinking it's a good idea to get your lunch from the midden--but...
A Good Deep Throat
I watched Szith's show from the back of the hall, invisible, remembering when I used to sneak in to concerts as a kid. Now I get to do this as my job. Not the sneaking in--just staffing, usually travelling with bands as security. It's nothing...
Can I Take More?
The tank in my bag was a lot heavier than I expected, for something that was supposed to make things so light. I'd been saving up for a while and today, the day it finally wouldn't put me in the red, I'd gone downtown and plunked down the cash for an...
