Home Again - Epilogue
Brady reached into the fridge, his paw picking out the strawberry flavoured milk he'd decided on. Hefting the sugary drink, the wolf let the transparent fridge door swing shut of its own volition. He strolled up to the front counter, placing his...
The Burning Bridge
Oliver had told Brady that the party started around eight, but the wolf didn't arrive until much later in the night. There was no denying it, he was nervous and it was causing him to procrastinate. He paced back and forth in his house, snapping at his...
Tip of the Spear
**Chapter Four: Tip of the Spear** Oderan tapped his fingers impatiently against his leg, staring out the side of his carriage and gazing at the neutral region of Aleya. _What is taking so long_? It felt like they'd been sitting here for hours now....
Heretic Anthem
Lars opened his eyes groggily, looking around, wincing from the bright morning light streaming in through the window. Poorly attempting to get his bearings, he noticed that Riley's bedside clock read 11:00. He wasn't too surprised at the time,...
Retreat and Regroup
Llewellyn Chavez shivered in the cool evening air. It had rained that afternoon and a chill was left on the breeze. Adjusting his coat, the zebra began the short trek back to his car. Deftly avoiding puddles and swearing under his breath. The...
Here Come The Drums
BOOM-BOOM Lars kicked off the song with two massive drum hits, hitting the instrument's faces with such force he felt it reverberate up his arms. As he launched into the beat Jake and Isaac began their guitar riffs, then Alex added the thrumming of...
Heartache
Riley's chest _hurt_. It was a primal, very physical kind of pain, as if someone had punched him right above his heart. Standing hopelessly in the entryway, the fox sunk to his knees, broken. He had no idea where his boyfriend was. But it had to have...
No Sudden Moves
Isaac was crying again, he'd been crying for days. The band members had all blocked him online, and even in class he was getting the occasional odd look. It was spreading, the rumour, like fire. Burning it's way into people's minds that Isaac Marks was...
Keep Away
Isaac told no one what he did. He wasn't as stupid as his brother was, the one who broadcast his whole view system to the world. As far as anyone in Isaac's life was concerned, he was a typical upstanding citizen, happily going along with the...
White Noise
_Beep_. _Beep_. _Beep_. That was the first thing Lars heard. Hearing seemed to be his only sense right now. His eyes seemed to be open, but everything in front of him was a blur of greys and whites. Beep. He could hear beeping, but had no idea where...
Quiet Violence
Brady's earliest memory is of a fur his age being hit by a truck, just outside his home window. He was five years old. He wasn't really mature enough to grasp the idea of death in an intellectual sense, but he knew enough to know it was bad. That day...
Writing On The Walls
With a shiver Marley passed her cigarette to Brady, shoving her paws in her jeans pockets. They were standing down by the river, and she could feel the cool breeze picking up the chill of the water on her face. Generally Labradors were invulnerable to...
