Guro Challenge #5: Mask/Covered Eyes/Covered Mouth
They'd bound a rag over his eyes before they dragged him away, and when he cried out they bound his mouth shut too. As he was forced to walk he tried to memorise the route, but the taunts and shouting and the crack of a willow switch on his back...
Guro Challenge #1: Amputation
He wasn't going to make it. Agarnu sprawled face-down on the forest floor, weeping into the mulch. He hadn't noticed his injured leg had got caught between two roots until he'd fallen. Bad sign. Numbness might have been a blessed relief from the pain,...
Guro Challenge #33: Beaten Up/Bruising
When he was a pup, Martin one day complained of a terrible headache. His friend Timbal nodded sympathetically, and then kicked him in the shins. Martin used several words his grandmother would have clipped his ears for saying, and asked Timbal why he...
Guro Challenge #26: Plants
Shadow, light and slender, took point, followed by Redtooth, while Cluny stayed a cautious pace behind, letting his lackeys test the route. Cluny was still a young rat, though the oldest of the group, but big and heavy with muscle. Shadow sniffed...

Groddil left his chair and backed up, trembling, trying not to drop the flagon. Dark wine trickled down his chin, and he licked his lips guiltily. "I'm so sorry, sire, I'm sorry. It-it looked just like my water jug, I wasn't paying attention... I'm...
Guro Challenge #4: Piercings/Body Modification
"Dad, I really don't think you should be doin' this yourself." "Oh, pshaw, young feller, am I to trust the job to your tremblin' paws?" "They ain't tremblin'!" Cheek tucked his paws behind his back to hide his lie. "Just think this is still gonna...
Guro Challenge #27: Extra Limbs
As soon as he learns to count, he dreams of his claw. In the day it's the last thing anybeast cares about, but at night it shows up like a flag. He dreams of being a mouse, a normal one, not twice the other younglings' height with razor fangs and...
Guro Challenge #18: Ball-Jointed Doll
"Keep up!" Little Triss tottered after the princess, weighed down under the mountain of petticoats and lace she'd been forced into. The dress was an old one of Kurda's, too long for her, too tight around the shoulders and bunched into folds around the...
