Russet
The lion lives in my dreams. I never remember getting into his car, or even who he is. A friend, giving me a lift? A stranger, helping out a hitchhiker? A lover? It never matters. We sit side by side as he drives, the day's last light igniting the...
What Happens In The Woods...
"Got your textbooks?" "Yes, Dad." The white-furred wolf looked down at a piece of paper, frowning through his glasses. "Homework done?" "Yes, Dad." A younger, greyer wolf sat at a table, eating a bowl of cereal and answering the questions...
The Exotic Mr Tammerly
"Mr Tammerly has done very well for himself, my dear," the basset hound said to his wife, dropping a second lump of sugar into his cup. "Why, only four years ago, the name of Tammerly was scarcely known. Second son of a third son, perhaps. An object of...
The Cowboy Way: Release
[This is the second and final part of a single large story that I split in two due to size. Part 1, "Tension", is here: [https://www.sofurry.com/view/1460547](https://www.sofurry.com/view/1460547) ] When Kieran woke, Felix was gone. The horse lay on...

How Pegasus Got His Wings
Gather round, my people. Gather close now, as the fire dies and the wind rises, and hearken to my words. You have heard the tale of great Pegasus, and the moment of his foaling, as fast and fair Perseus slew the monstrous one, the Gorgon Medusa. But I...
Cleaning Service
The deer stood in front of the door, a carry bag in one hand, watching the seconds on his watch tick down to six A.M. It was a small thing, really; he doubted any patron would care if he arrived a few minutes early or late -- let alone a few...
The Lover in the Lake
It had rained the night before, and the forest the centaur walked through was soaked. Hooves pressed into loamy earth, the slight depressions filling with water as each foot lifted. Droplets fell on the centaur as he pushed branches aside, soaking...
Teacher's Hunk
"...could fit one right there above the bar, too. Perfect amount of space. Run a cable there for the satellite...it'd be _easy_." The otter stared up thoughtfully at the empty space above the bar, and then downed the last dregs of his beer with a...
Reckoning
Bucephalus didn't bother to knock on the door when he reached it. He'd seen the cameras on his way up the path, their silent gazes judging him as he walked towards the house. He simply stood on the porch, arms crossed, and waited. Marcus took his...
[Sketch] The Many Faces of Perch
Perch followed in Marcus' wake as they walked home, looking up at the big stallion in adoration. How had he never noticed before? This stallion was FAR better than Bucephalus. It was obvious. He'd been a fool to waste time with that cranky old horse...
