Hades and Philos: Prelude
September arrived, at long last. At the entrance, I spent what felt like countless hours waiting for my beloved. Two beautifully armored harpies flanked me as I stood at the shores of the River Styx, cold eyes sharply trained towards the dim light...
Hunter Thurman's (Brief) Meta Journey
Hunter opened his eyes in the void of a piece of paper, then groaned. "Great, it's you again..." Long time no see, Hunter Thurman. How long has it been since I last wrote an installment of 'High School of Clichés'? "Not long enough, Mr....
Devotion
"Lord Hector?" the handsome canine slave called through the closed door, "A Lord Julian Timbercreed is here to speak with you." "Send him in." I nervously entered my old friend's office while keeping my regal façade under check. Dressed in the...
Dead Ends
"Are you sure Grumman's dead?" "I'm sure, kid. I talked to the morgue lady myself to confirm it." "Damn...I didn't know. I'm sorry for making you go all the way out--" "It's fine," I chuckled despite the circumstances. "Heading back right now....
A Condom for My Valentine

Hades and Philos: March (Epilogue)
Demeter arrived early as usual, guided by Hermes on the private boat. Philos and I held each other as we stared down the long underground tunnel. Souls still departed from Charon's boat as it floated on the subdued waters of the River Styx. Once...
Hades and Philos: February
My Queen's sixth and final month was spent in longing and melancholy togetherness. Philos' mournful demeanor lessened but did not disappear entirely. It followed him like a phantom or a memory too painful to forget. Yet a week following my...
Maverick Hotel Part 7
"I'm telling ya," Old Nick laughed behind the wheel of his taxicab, "the last two furs I drove wouldn't quit talkin' about that stunt you all pulled at Navy Pier with the sign!" "It wasn't a 'stunt'," Lowell clarified to the elder mongoose, "so much...
A (Horny) Perfume Heist (extended edition)
It seemed like a simple job. And an even simpler initiation test. The cool wind of an early spring blew against my cheekfurs as I stood atop a building adjacent to Olympia Tech's corporate headquarters--a twenty-story building in the center of the...
Hades and Philos: January
My Queen's fifth month began with happiness, only to slowly descend into hidden melancholy. I noticed Philos had often stared into the distance with sullen silence. For a while, I tried to convince myself this was only part of the beginning stages of...
