The Things That Can Drift Away (A Leilani Story)
It was many, many weeks after the storm had tried to decimate LeiLani's island. She had many strange souvenirs from that storm, including the one that was presently snoring away beside her. The tides rarely brought her something as unique and...
Teamwork Keeps You Alive
The place was damned noisy. It was a bar after all. Duma had her ear plugs in to dampen the sounds. Humans could tolerate having their hearing blasted out of existence, but not her. She relied on every sense her development had honed, from her...
The Things That Wash Ashore (A Leilani Story)
Leilani was gazing about with a look of tired dismay on her lovely face. Yet again, a great storm had blown in off the ocean, bringing with it an inordinate amount of destruction. Thankfully, her hut had survived nearly intact, and it would take less...
Turn and Face the Strange Changes
Edward had to pound on the door to the adjoining rooms three times before it was opened. Maria was standing there, looking slightly alarmed. He couldn't help but notice that her robe was askew, and that she showed a remarkably well preserved body...
An Of-fur She Couldn't Refuse (Commission for Karic)
There is something mildly obscene about the word _exotic_. It gives you the sense that it's something from a far off place or something that's extremely sensual or exquisite. I suppose that's what I am in the long run, for I come from across the...

A Boy and his Ship

A Ship and Her Crew

The Crass Menagerie
"So this is it?" The man was staring up at a blinking neon sign. "Yep. Don't get fooled by the exterior. It's got built in filters. You'll see what I mean once you're inside." "_Can_ I go inside?" "Anyone can. Like that song from The Eagles though,...
A Dog and her Alien
We were sitting in my former self's quarters, which Arista had taken over, and I was doing my best to configure this new body to look at least similar to my human one. It was possible, I thought, but the task was beyond my skill at the moment. I gave...
The Pornograph
"A what?" Fox sighed in exasperation. "Just what I told you." "Etymologically speaking it makes sense, but I've never heard the term used before." "It's a bit complicated I'll agree. When the inventor created the first sound recording device he...
Phact or Phallusy?
Sully was staring intently at the dried, shriveled-up form that was occupying the space inside a classically antiquated specimen jar. Since the jar was capable of holding a gallon or more of fluid, the object within was obviously sizable. With its...
