The Dark Park: Chapter IV
"Okay I can't wait any longer, I'm gonna _die_," came Keedee's declaration once they'd stood around for a few minutes too many. She was trying to be patient, but she wasn't going to be the first one to wander off. Layla turned towards her,...
The Dark Park: Chapter III
Someone was calling Vel's voice. He was sure of it. The sound cut through the noise of the crowds, the blaring loudspeakers, the bustle of the packed carnival. Someone wanted his attention, and they weren't going to stop at anything to get it. Vel...
The Dark Park: Chapter II
Fuck that. Valencia wasn't sticking around all night just to wait for someone to be done having fun without her. She was the first one to wander off from the group, and didn't bother to tell anyone where she was going. They'd probably just get into a...

Demonology Lessons
She didn't exactly dress like any of the other professors Xander had seen. Every day, she showed up in some striking outfit of black leather, decorated with all manner of occult trinkets. She didn't act like a teacher either. That leopardess was...
Serpentine Curiosities
Well, of course you want to see her again. What sort of fool would you be if you turned down the opportunity to spend some time alone with the giant snake who seems fond of you? Or you hope she is, anyway. Your first encounter was an intensely...
The Outbreak Part 1
The bracelet blinked in pace to the rhythm of Snow's heart. He watched it through blurred vision, never fully asleep, but never fully awake. Only when he became suddenly aware of his surroundings did he snap awake and take stock of the situation. He...
Werewolf Wine
Irving wasn't about to turn down an invitation to drink wine with a beautiful woman, even if she was twice his age. He'd have hardly guessed it. The German shepherd wandered into the humble domain of the soft-spoken blue tigress with a skip in his step...
