One in the Dark
Bowling pins clattered in a strike, the iridescent-green bowling ball surviving a gutter shot. A rust-furred dhole, clad in a black, dirty apron, watched as the bowler raised his arms in celebration to the cheers of his team, four of them total. They...
Bad Hobby
All he could taste was metal. He awoke. The room faded into view as if a fog lifted. He peered about, his mind fuzzy as if he had sucked the fog into his head. He wondered if he'd been nursing on a metal pole as he swished his tongue around,...
Twenty-one
**Twenty-one** The urge to pee did it for me. Third time in the past couple hours--and you know what they say about the third time. I had stumbled towards the restroom, buzzed but not intoxicated, leaving my table of friends behind who were picking...
For the Love of a Pit - Chapter 1
I didn't really pay attention in history class much, so I don't remember all the details. It's not like any of those details matter; what's done is done, what's happening is happening--now. Like the revolution of the earth and its orbit around the...
The Ad - Part One
The cheap TracFone glowed with a new number that promised danger. Hesitating for only a moment, his thumb pressed SEND, illiciting the first warbling ring that would mark the first time he'd dared take a chance at a relationship, even one he expected...
Gay Wolves Fucking

The New Goliath - Chapter One
Chapter One It was a Tuesday. Not that it mattered much. Muscles didn't grow faster that day, although that was exactly what Union was attempting to disprove. The stink of males choked the local gym, a small business with...

The New Goliath - Chapter Three
Chapter Three Harvey awoke with a start. Unlike the movies where the person yanks up, sweat everywhere, heaving. But it was a start, his heart thumping as if something were trying to escape his chest. He dreamed of _him_...
The New Goliath - Chapter Two
Chapter Two Union's small house stood at the foot of a dead end like a dark stranger: only the foolish would approach. An open garage harbored no vehicles (the only vehicle always sat curbside), but years of junk no one cared to toss. The front yard...
A Kindness Never Wasted
**A KINDNESS NEVER WASTED** The Mouse knew he was in danger. Yet, when danger had announced itself with the flick of a tail that ended in an auburn tuft, the Mouse decided against the urge to flee. He knew the creat1ure's sort from this lone hint,...
Two Moons
**Two Moons** A thin crescent moon arched overhead. Tobi's human once said it was the lunar wolf gobbling up pieces of the sky. Several nights would lead to a full belly, a howling chorus rising above the great spruces and firs in...
