Three Body Problem (AS "N")
Hawk the Earthen Rock Pigeon Anthro sat, idling with his IRIS open tracing his way through yottabytes upon yottabytes of interconnectivity to the Universal Modulus Network, or UMN. Literally tracing through solar systems worth of processing power and...
I feel the siren's call
I feel the siren's call. It harkens me back unto its murky waters. The sonorous sound is delicate like a lover's sweet embrace. But I've been drowned before by its host beneath the waves. Yet it still sings to me and pulls towards my fate. I resist but...
"Submit" (a poem)
"Submit" I've come up with the idea. I've thought about it. I've planned it out. I've outlined it. " Submit" I've typed the words. I've told the story. I've penned the dialogue. I've written it. "Submit" I've reread...

A Fine First Mate (a poem)
Lying awake seeking sleep and I don't dream of you. I see you in my mind and I taste you on my lips. For you are real and I'm enamored You lift my sinking ship as it bobs the sea of dreams For I don't dream you, you're...
Reset Not Restart (a poem)

Our Minds, Bodies, and Souls (AS "H")
"Are you ready?" Silen was hesitant, but Hylan was sure. They've discussed this, they've set up boundaries, they've set up safeguards, they've confirmed they want this. Hylan has assured Silen time and time again that he trusts the Deinonychus....
The Man of his Dreams
The ticking clock in the hall steadily kept its beat, the rhythmic thumping hitting Apollo's eardrums at even intervals that slowly counted down his limited, precious time remaining. He computer in front of him, even at lowest brightness, was straining...
Bars, Bards, and Beds
Zavian trudged into the tavern, huffing a bit as he tried to get more air into his lungs. The trek today was impeded by the sudden onset of snow, a little unexpected for the season but nothing that Zavian was worried about. He pulled off his hood and...
Breakfast, Breakthroughs, and Breakups
Shion's dreams were filled with Klayton, memories and emotions tying together in sequences both incomprehensible and yet believable. One moment they were together walking at a park and watching TV the next. All the while, Klayton had his goofy grin...
Eye Opening
Sigh. Sal just could not focus. His desk at work was much too close to the window, and he found it impossible to concentrate on boring, concrete samples. The weather outside looked perfect and the park across the street looked so inviting. Another...
