Cassandra (Chapter 1)
A tiger in his late teens, queuing alone to pick up tickets to an animated kids movie: hardly the coolest of looks, but he'd won the stupid things so he may as well go see the damn flick! It's not like he was going to do anything more than vegetate at...
Physical Education
"C'mon, it's not _that_bad!" "Speak for yourself," Dane muttered, dumping his bag on a bench in the far corner of the changing room with a sullenness that truly betrayed how grudging he was at being summoned to his least favourite part of the school....
Maximus
An ordinary street in the centre of an ordinary town lined with ordinary stores catering for ordinary shoppers: that's what it seems to be until your eyes happen upon one particular establishment named Maximus. What does Maximus sell, you ask? Why,...
A Day in the Life of a Shark
_Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!_ The deliberately irritating, almost mosquito-like alarm blared through the dark, stuffy, and previously-silent room, crashing upon the ears of anyone in its vicinity. Its volume was such that it all but drowned out the vague and...
One Night With A Shark
Spending a Friday slumped on the couch with the TV on, displaying the latest pre-alpha of a triple-A title while she tapped away at a controller was fairly standard for Liana. Normally she would have been quite content with such a lazy day, for they...

A Bed For Life
There was no need for an alarm, for there was nothing urgent on the agenda for the day: no work, no school, no errands, nothing. Yet, despite having a leisurely day of doing whatever he fancied - including sleep - ahead of him, Ashes was keen to wake....
A Lesson in League
Let's set the scene. The room was dark, the windows covered by the industrial-strength bleach of the world of blinds (kills 99.9% of sunlight!) which made it very difficult to have any idea of the time of day or what the weather was doing beyond those...
Life of Pi(zza)
One would hope that after spending ten hours at a tedious office job, including two hours' worth of commuting on cramped buses, work would be done for the day and it could be a case of relaxing until the time for sleep rolled around; but no, dinner...
Silver Goes To The Pool
**Silver Goes To The Pool** ** ** _Please don't break. Please don't break. Please don't break._ This plea repeated itself over and over in Silver's mind as she approached the pool locker room, plasticky fabric bag containing her swimsuit...
