A Natural Civilization, Chapter 2: Monstrosity
Part I: The Hunt The others were, as expected, upset. They'd naturally reacted with horror at the sight of Charles and Meg being far more advanced in their conditions than before; Kelly and Amanda were visibly rattled and kept a distance, with...
A Natural Civilization, Chapter 1: Awakening
Part I: The Island The rocking and thumping sensations came again, but Charles just buried himself deeper into the comforting darkness. Even if he wasn't dreaming in the usual sense, he was still very much enjoying his sleep. And why shouldn't he?...
A Natural Civilization, Chapter 3: Ascension
Part I: The Mountain Joey's skin had started itching worse than ever worse than ever after the fight with Charles; apparently, getting the blood flowing _was_ the answer to how fast the infections progressed. He'd gone storming angrily through the...
Yue: Covetous
When she heard the deep, sonorous breathing of her husband, Yue knew she was safe to proceed. The mare slowly shifted out of bed, making sure to give Orion a brief squeeze on the forearm so that some part of his dreaming mind believed she was still by...
The Adventures of Meili: Remote Control
"You could be a little bolder, you know." Meili blinked, turning her attention from the latest episode of _Cop Drama_ and looked at Thalia. "What do you mean?" The hyena munched a fistful of popcorn before answering. "You're always so shut-in,...

It was late in the afternoon when the bus arrived at the camp, located 20 miles south of Athens, Georgia. They'd all been separated: boys on the driver's side ("So I can keep an eye on you ruffians," the driver had said) and the girls on the passenger...
Egged
Wyatt didn't need to close his bedroom door since he lived alone, but he went ahead and did it anyway; old habits died hard. Grinning sheepishly despite himself, he put the Tyvek parcel on his bed before retrieving scissors and opening it. Inside was...
If These Walls Could Talk
Denslin University was located roughly three miles from the nearest form of human civilization. It wasn't quite secluded in the tree-packed valleys of the upper northwest, but it was most certainly firmly nestled and not planning to go anywhere anytime...
Gustav & Mikail: The Femboi Gardens
Outside the Gardens, a half-mile away, there was a lazily-flowing river. Its fresh waters stirred and its surface was broken as a pair of hands reached out and found purchase. Their owner hauled himself out of the water, streams of clear liquid...
Hellrider
"Who's the laugher?" Pyro cringed, pausing in his adjustments of the engine to look over his shoulder. Behind him stood the speaker, Rob. The dragon wasn't looking at the husky, his gaze towards the third car in tonight's race. It was an older...
Meili & Thalia: Pool Party
She was there in her room, humming. Summer vacation had started and her parents were already taking a weekender. Friday to Monday they would be gone, leaving her and her siblings alone. Surfing the internet, Meili Blue had little else to do. Her...
