The Last day of summer; a Gray Muzzle story

Drive Me Batty
It wasn't easy working at an orchard. The job was seasonal. The pay wasn't great. And autumn, with its assorted pumpkin and harvest festivals, became a busy, stressful blur. But there were some saving graces. It wasn't corporate. You got to be in and...
White Nights
_For Gabriel Clyde and Seth Drake, who know all too well_ The tall white Borzoi sat at his midnight table outside the café, enjoying the strange and magical sensations of the fragile light all around him. It was and it was not like twilight; it...

Portage

Never Let Me Go
Jameson and I were both eight when he got into a car wreck with his family and he broke both of his arms. His parents got a few bad cuts, but nothing more serious. I remember his red casts and how proud he was of them, how I (as his best friend) was...
