Day 10 - Storm
Wumanok grunted in his hammock in his hammock when he a cold emptiness settled in his old wounds. For the old orc, the moods of his wounds were like family to him, inconvenient but helpful at times. The sigh of relief that left him a few seconds later...
Day 9 - Ghost
Lucian Basken glanced across the room, his dark gray eyes judging the orc before him. She had broad shoulders and wide hips, skin the color of desert's in the morning and hair the color of oil. Her dress, once surely a thing of marvel, was worn and...
Day 8 - Toy
My knife cut through the wood one final time and the last wood chips fell to the floor. I blew the piece of wood in my hand and scattered the light brown sawdust on its surface through the air. Gently, I placed the round piece with its sisters on the...
Day 5- Cave
"And you're sure they came here?" asked Mel'er with a rough voice, doubt dripping in her tone. "Yes, yes. Little Wallace said they had a dare but he fell asleep and missed the time." answered the short satyr man, annoyance flashing in his...
Day 14 - Childhood
"Your mind is drifting again Juh'ra, what is it that weights on your mind this time?" Asked Kalam, his deep voice sending shivers down Juh'ra's back. "It is nothing of importance, my lord," The orc was quick to reply, his throat burning with the half...

Orctober 2020: Day 1 - Autumn
Yatur dashed forward on his worg, the large lupine creature moving gracefully through the tall trees and the treacherous soil of the forest. The cold morning wind buffeted the orc's light green's skin while his coat flapped behind him. Sharp dark brown...
Desperate Measures
"Are you sure about this?" asked the rhino, his huge body hunched behind a wall of bushes. "Come on Antonio, don't get cold feet now. We'll be in and out before you know it." Replied the lynx, a confident smile shining on her face. "But if we get...
Singing my heart out
I took a deep breath. The influx of air in my lungs helped to assuage my nerves. Behind me, I could hear the restless beating of my tail on my pants, the quiet murmurs of the crowd waiting behind the door. I pushed the air out with a controlled huff,...
The North Pole
The loud pump of bass raced across the room, its constant pumping reassuring me, bringing me into my game. It did a much better job at that than the vodka, even if the pint had set a fire in me. I looked at my self in the mirror, the icy blue eyes that...
