New Generation of Heroes: Chapter 1 - "It Comes Soon"
1 Rhykard Dean, sitting Indian-style on his well-made dorm room bed, cleared his throat out of awkwardness as his shirtless roommate dropped his cargo shorts and snapped the elastic band of his new, Atlas the Superdog underwear with glee. The toned,...
Track and Field: Part 24 - Fix You
Arthur _"Papa?"_ _"........."_ _"Papaaaaaa?"_ _"................."_ _I feel his little paws atop my chest, the warmth of his tiny fingers blooming on the spot right over my heart as he shakes me; his sharp claws yank on my fur and pinch the...
Track and Field: Part 23 - I Will Wait
Sasha This chick... "Kelly? How do you know us again?" I asked, trying to keep pace with the ermine. "Lee," she simply said. "How do you know Lee?" "Ren-Fair." "Ren-what?" I heard Red panting. I kept forgetting he couldn't keep up with us. I'd...
Barred: Chapter 6
6 Nomac sulked behind his espresso machines--Old Bessie I and II--and fiddled with the strings of his apron. The hulking, brew-spitting monstrosities blocked his few of any customers standing just on the other side of the counter, and he was glad...
Barred: Chapter 5
5 The closer to their apartment the two got, the harder the rain fell. It slithered down buildings in rivulets, struck their faces like tossed pebbles, and made it near impossible to navigate the streets through. Vaughn didn't mind getting soaked,...
Strangers After All: Part X
After we had all collected ourselves as best we could we put on some decent clothes and got ready to leave. Tabitha had gone to get her car, and, for someone who lives in Charleston on occasion, you'd think she'd be used to having to park a mile away...
Strangers After All: Part VII
Benji told us we were free to spend the night, but both Deacon and I knew we'd been in his hair for too long. We were on a break from school, but we were pretty sure that he had to go to work the next day. The goodbye wasn't as sorrowful as I would...
Track and Field: Part I
It all started on the track. That concrete loop is honestly one of my least favorite places to be. Why? Well, for one thing, track-and-field practices at the exact same time as the football team. That's peculiar in itself, but there's also the fact...
Strangers After All: Part III
Eventually I ran out of energy and tears, although I was still hiccuping tiny sobs every few minutes. It felt like every ounce of fluid within my body had been squeezed out of my eyes. I could hardly stand to keep them open, feeling as though they'd...
Strangers After All: Part IX
Deacon's head was bowed and clasped in his paws. I felt terrible for making him feel obligated to tell me his secrets. I mean, they were secrets for a reason. I think that both Tabitha and I agreed, though, that he'd feel much better once he got all...
Strangers After All: part VIII
I couldn't remember the last time I felt so warm. There was the blanket, which I guess Deacon draped over us at some point in the night, but there was the comfort of him too. He was something that I wished I'd found sooner, and I never wanted to loose...
Strangers After All: Part II
Deacon and I didn't really speak much as we made our way to this Italian place he was so keen for. In all honesty we wouldn't have been able to if we had wanted. The crowd was so thick on the sidewalk that we pretty much had to slice our own way...
