It's Not Like I Like You or Anything!
For the rest of the school day Daren was nowhere to be seen. He must have had a different lunch hour than me because he wasn't anywhere in the cafeteria, and I knew I didn't have any classes with him. I was expecting to maybe bump into him again in the...
Das Racist!
Have you ever made a first impression so bad with somebody that every time you'd see them afterwards you'd do nothing but try to make up for it? Yeah, that happened to me once. It happened in the school hallway during my first semester of my junior...
Voodoo is not a joke, kids
OH MY GOD I didn't actually die. But by the time Chris and Jayce were dropped off I probably had close to three heart attacks, not to mention I think I wet myself a little... When we finally got to the cul-de-sac where I lived, Scott was driving at...
Shadows of Our Kind
**Prologue: A World at War.** I am Perseus Shadowclaw, a winged wolf/fox hybrid. Before I begin the story of my life, let me explain the world I live in. I live in the world of Zenith, which is composed of one continent containing six countries,...
Guy Talk
So... Friday... the day that nobody could take seriously after Raybecca Black released that horrible titular song that shat on the internet. That considered, I suppose Friday was a fitting day for my life to end up shitting itself so hard its bowels...
A Bleak Outlook (Part 1 of 2)
"In the growing jungle there's a... graph?" "Giraffe." "Giraffe! In the growing jungle there's a giraffe that grins as it... uh, gorgs?" "Gorges." "Gorges! In the growing jungle there's a giraffe that grins as it gorges on gourds. Got it!"...
Man, F*ck Your Friend Zone!
You know, I was really surprised at just how awkward the next few weeks were when I was around Daren (though it wasn't as if my entire life wasn't already one big blob of awkward). Not that it was his fault or anything, but here's the thing: in all the...
To a New Horizon
"I'm back with the goods!" Zack exclaimed as he approached the small circular wood table where Ryan was waiting, holding two large sized coffee cups in either claw. "A chai latte for me, and a mocha latte with enough sugar in it to poison a two-ton...
Overlook (part 1 of 2)
"How did you find me?" It was Nicole. Somehow she tracked him down to his personal retreat: a cove off the eastern Newport shore, quite a ways away from the nearest dock. This was his favorite location whenever he needed to think or find himself, and...
A Lead Crown Contribution: The Way I See It
Inigo hated formal wear. What was the sense in wearing uncomfortably stiff shirts with far too many frills and buttons? To convey status? Surely there were more practical ways to do so. The black wingless bat was dressing awkwardly in front of the...
Come Crashing Down
_I love you Ryan_ _Sat, Apr 5, 12:57pm_ Ryan stared at the text message blankly as he lay sideways on his stiff bed, fully clothed. He had done nothing else since he had returned to his room a few minutes hence, unable to shake off the creeping...
The Walls I Built
So this was my first attempt at both furry and gay-themed writing. I think the problem with this chapter is that, at the time I wrote this, I was too insecure with my writing that I focused too much on trying to make it sound mature and intelligent...
