In Darkness, Every Rose Is Black - Chapter 01
## Chapter 1 My vision shakes. Directly in front of my snout, I can see the puddle of what was my breakfast earlier, soaking into the yellow sands. The blood. Oh, Gods, the smell of it is everywhere. But I'm still alive. My limbs shake, I can barely...
A look at "Variables" by Roland Jovaik
You're not listening to The Voice of Dog, I'm not Khaki, but the story today is still "Variables" by Roland Jovaik. You can listen to it here ...
The End of Liam Connor
# He scrabbled up the paper and sighed; the weight on his mind clouding his ability to write. He needed to explain. He needed the words he knew he had but could not attain; to put his thoughts and ideas into a book, but he couldn’t make it...
Ladder Racing, spring 2019 (Chapter 4)
March 24th I make my morning coffee and check my phone. There's a message from an unknown number on it. _Hey, it's Paul. How are you feeling? Text me._ I have no idea how he got my number, but I recall my shoes. There might have been a phone number...
Runt - Chapter 3 (final)
Day 144 (I'll fill in the damn details later) Something amazing happened today. The wolf I'd been tracking. The bitch. It saved my damn life. I'd been surprised by a corpse after dark. Dumb of me, I guess. I ought not to have gone out...
Ladder Racing, spring 2019 (Chapter 5)
**Part 2. Paul. March 28th** "I really like you, Reece. I really do." The words leave my mouth and enter the crisp night air, where they hang for a while in silence. The boy next to me, this dalmatian, has opened my emotional floodgates...
Ladder Racing, spring 2019 (Chapter 7)
March 29th I get home, pack my racing overalls into the laundry basket where they will be promptly ignored for another week, and plop down in front of the television. I figure I should give Reece a text, just to let him know I solved everything. I can...
Runt - Chapter 2
We fed again the next day, but the stench of the dead uprights was getting overpowering, and I feared it might fester the meat and poison it. So I took Runt with me towards valley where we'd spied the black smoke earlier, as that'd take us further away...
Ladder Racing, spring 2019 (Chapter 14)
**June 3rd** Radio KSST is based in a single-story square building with a faded red brick facia. It's got a big neon sign on the roof, but other than that, it looks like any downtown community centre or public building in a poor or rural...
Midnight Rendezvous [Re-Upload]
Kieran scanned the granite cityscape under him. The black mass was dotted with bright, flickering spots of torchlight. Perched on a roof of a tall house, the black fox had an excellent view over his surroundings. He saw the path he needed to take, and...
Let Them Have Cake
A small, black fox in a thick cloak moved through the torchlit streets of Dalmatia in the dead of night. Not an unusual sight, all things considered. Cloaked and unsavoury figures would usually come out after dark. The few scattered lanterns and...
Ladder Racing, spring 2019 (Chapter 2)
March 22nd The whole of next week, I find no time for excursions. School has finally returned, and the workload puts me in a sort of trance. I've almost forgotten about the wild sensation of the wolf and the bar encounter. Almost. Then, I learn that...
