Nice Knowing You
The diner's pretty much the exact opposite of the bar, and so far it's the only other public place we've met and hung out. Today is bright, sunny, cold as stone, and a Saturday. Here at the table right by the window, I can catch every detail of you, as...
Comeuppance
An uncapped Sharpie marker hit Jon in the back of the head. "Hey fag boy, why don't you stick this in your ass and see if it writes when we pull it out!" Jon hated his roommate. The odd-toothed otter had transferred to this college in his junior year,...
Senior Privileges
They cornered me behind the art wing while I was out having a smoke. It was senior fucking year, and we'd all realized there wasn't too much anyone could do to keep us in a classroom or even in the school building. I'd begun pretty regularly "going to...
Warm and Cozy
Eric's stubby brown ears perked up when he heard the apartment door open. The bear looked up excitedly from the paper he was grading and smiled at the weary red panda that entered and stamped his feet heavily to rid them of excess snow. The smaller fur...
Stale-Mate
After practice I got a jeering ass-slap from Rick, the kangaroo goalie. "Still haven't gotten one past me yet this year, Mars," he snickered along with it. The posterior-pat came out of nowhere halfway through my changing ritual, so yeah I jumped a...
Water
Of course, I paid for that blessing dearly the next day. I fucking knew better than to go to sleep drunk. How many times had Brad and I done this? Fucking vodka, too. My eyelids were stuck together and the skin on my cranium felt stretched to the...
Spill
"Shit shit shit SHIT SHIT AWWWW SHIT HAHAHAHA I fucked that up!" "Drink, motherfucker!! Fuck you!" A little sullen at losing yet again, I took a cheap shot. "Fuck ME? How bout you fuck_Angelaaaaaa_?" Brad snorted, and his words sounded more offended...

Thanks for the Lift
Hello there anyone happening on this! Having satisfied myself and my characters with the follow-up to "Comfort Zones", I'm branching out into new territory. And after the last story got a little heavier than the first part, I decided the first of my...
Comfort Zones
"Almin and Musser..." Hmm...Connor Almin...the quiet otter with glasses. I could do worse for a presentation partner. As everyone inadvertently did when Mr. Ross called out a pair of names, I searched out my counterpart in the classroom, and saw him...
Anything You Want (Andrew and Jock-Jon: Origins)
"Yo! Uh...Andrew!" The small-statured black wolf quirked his ears, looking away from the inside of his locker and searching the crowded hallway for the voice that had hailed him. It was a deeper voice than his own, and the skinny sophomore canine...
Girl Talk [side A]
I shouldered my bag for the few steps it took me to trudge to the passenger door of Delana's car, her eyes tracking me impatiently through the rolled-down window, and even once I'd flopped down in the seat with my bag in my lap and my head hung...
