Workout Buddies
I stepped into the lobby of 'Pro Fitness', the gym on the far side of town. Whilst I should have been feeling elated, all I could feel was a sense of dread and anxiety. I didn't want to be here, but it wasn't at my own suggestion. I wasn't fit....

More Than He Bargained For

Free Entry
"Are you sure you want to buy this much toilet paper?" The clerk stared at the hybrid from across the counter, his eyes narrowed, sceptical. The blue furred wolf/fox hybrid could only offer a nervous grin and a nod in response, and the cashier...
Nephew's Nightmare
In the darkness between the bungalow's walls, a whimper coaxed its way out from Dennis' bedroom. Nestled amongst his blankets, the boy rolled and whined in his sleep, fraught with terror and anxiety. His dreams were far from sweet, having twisted into...
Hidden Restraint
Dennis rolled over in his sleep. The sunlight shone into his window and through his thin curtains, landing on his pillow and eyelids. The resulting light caused the young boy to stir and he snuggled into his pillow for a moment, before slowly opening...
There's No Such Thing As Werewolves
"It's a full moon tonight, Brendan." "What's that gotta do with anything? You scared, Short?" On the night of Halloween, a group of young teenagers, who cared little for the monotony and childish boredom of 'trick or treating', decided they'd...
