Track and Field: Part 8 - Red
Red "Sweetheart, what's the matter?" my mother chirped before daintily nibbling on the piece of steak that dribbled juices down the end of her fork, her ears fluttering at the taste. "You haven't touched your T-bone." "Very peculiar." My father said...
Track and Field: Part 5 - Conall
Conall "Thirty-two to twelve," I scoffed proudly, looking left and right for any oncoming traffic before pulling out onto the highway. "It was a massacre! The Knights were spectacular! You were spectacular!" My eyes and ears swiveled to Lee in the...
Track and Field: Part 9
I woke up and Lee was gone. I also couldn't move. My body was so stiff that to wiggle a toe seemed impossible. Were my toes even still attached? Since I couldn't crane my neck to look around it was as though I was nothing but a dismembered head...
Strangers After All: Part V
I felt giddy as I sat next to Lani and watched television. Not restlessly giddy, but just the right amount of fervent excitement that builds in your system. Much like when riding a roller-coaster and you're scaling that enormous hill that - you know...
Track and Field: Part 23 - I Will Wait
Sasha This chick... "Kelly? How do you know us again?" I asked, trying to keep pace with the ermine. "Lee," she simply said. "How do you know Lee?" "Ren-Fair." "Ren-what?" I heard Red panting. I kept forgetting he couldn't keep up with us. I'd...
Track and Field: Part 19 - It's Time
Sasha The clock in my car's dash read 4:30 pm; my _phone_ read 4:30 pm; if I could've calculated time via the sun's location in the sky I probably would've gotten 4:30 pm there too. Why is it then, that when we agree to meet someone somewhere the...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 2
Red "Thanks, Cap," Aaron sighed as I handed him back his head. He drummed his fingers awkwardly along the cardboard as I stood smirking at him. "I know, dude. Don't rub it in." I threw up my paws defensively. "No, no - I didn't say anything." He...
New Generation of Heroes: Chapter 1 - "It Comes Soon"
1 Rhykard Dean, sitting Indian-style on his well-made dorm room bed, cleared his throat out of awkwardness as his shirtless roommate dropped his cargo shorts and snapped the elastic band of his new, Atlas the Superdog underwear with glee. The toned,...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 1
13 "Ouch, Claire!" "Will you quit whining, you undead baby!" my sister said snarkily while dabbing around my bruised eye with powder makeup. "You're only making it worse." I grunted as each pat of that infernal powder-puff sent pain coursing into my...
Track and Field: Part 24 - Fix You
Arthur _"Papa?"_ _"........."_ _"Papaaaaaa?"_ _"................."_ _I feel his little paws atop my chest, the warmth of his tiny fingers blooming on the spot right over my heart as he shakes me; his sharp claws yank on my fur and pinch the...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 4
Sasha _Oh, God, where did they go!? What the hell have I done!? What's going to happen!?_ "RED!? LEE!?" I bellowed, their names seeming to scrape my throat as I yelled with such force. "WHERE ARE YOU!?" This wasn't good. My worst nightmare had...
Track and Field: Part 11 - Lee
Lee "One, two, three, one, two, three..." _Clang, clang-clang, Clang, clang-clang..._ Left, right-left, right, left-right... "Good," my uncle barked, his sword still humming through the air and striking with mine on precise rhythm. The blows...
