XIV. Surprise
_As told by Nina_ I had slept in late on the morning of Milo's birthday. Margaret and I had left shortly after the end of the theatre event, but we spent some time talking together in our dorm. We had praised each other's artwork for _Planes of...
XIII. Call and response
_As told by Milo_ The theatre event had been tiring, to say the least. I spent the entire evening waiting for my turn, since some moron had decided it would be a good idea to end the event with my play. Who ends a night like this with a tragedy?...
XII. Planes of Existence
_As told by Nina_ Two full weeks had passed since I had first shown Trisha my inner puppy. In the meantime, we had 'practiced' once more, after which she had taught me how to sew. The old Indian appeared to be a real expert in the craft, and she was a...
II. It's all relative
**II. It's all relative** _As told by Nina_ Initially, I felt the need to stall during the after-breakfast cleanup. After all, as soon as we had finished that chore, I would undeniably have to be a big girl again, but I did not want to. There is...
I. Give me a break
_As told by Nina_ Spring break. I was pleasantly woken up by the breaking dawn as the rays of sunlight fell into my room. As I came to my senses, I felt the soft material of my pink pawed sleeper all around me, and the fluffy fur of my stuffed White...
Brand New Day (Commission)
Lucky was rudely awakened by the most annoying and penetrating noise in the world. His alarm clock kept repeating its pesky sound until the fiery red fox finally hit the 'off' button. A task easier said than done, apparently, as he missed the first two...
MonoChronicles I: True Colors
_With thanks to Frogsy of ADISC_ **Chapter I** _As told by Milo_ It was a rainy Thursday evening at the end of August. I had just had dinner and I booted up my laptop. While the screen was still black, I looked at my somewhat vague reflection in the...
Chapter XXXIV: And last
"But what about me?" Aran wondered aloud. "You said that a couple of your co-workers had their doubts when you accepted me as a charge." "I really wanted to be your caregiver, because you're essentially a runaway." "Like your son?" the wolf...
Chapter XXXIII: Give me a sign
Monday. Two weeks had passed since Gina's return from the sleepover. During these days, the vixen had been a role model to Aran, helping Jennifer to teach him how to behave like a good puppy. The wolf had shown some early progress, along with...
Chapter XXXII: 'For the grace of all that is good and sacred'
The next evening, Aran was sleeping peacefully. His day had been filled with playing games with Gina, telling each other jokes, and even playing in the sandpit. Of course, the wolf told himself that he was too big for the latter, but he thought of it...
Chapter XXXI: 'I am the monster in your head'
Puppy bedtime came sooner than Aran appreciated, as it had on every day of his treatment so far. The wolf did not know whether it was because of the time, and because he found it difficult to fall asleep, or that it was simply one of those times at...
Chapter XXX: Mother of all secrets
To his own great surprise, Aran was actually paying attention to the movie, even though he was obviously fifteen years too old to fit in the target audience. The wolf concluded that he was probably trying to follow the story because he did not want...
