The Mind's Eye
"Bring in the prisoner," I said with a flat, empty tone. His file floated in front of me on an unseen projection, pixel upon pixel framing the record; 'Fredrickson East, aged thirty-four, male, standing accused for suspect of high treason'. Not your...
Left Breathless
Imagine a world without oxygen. No... A _universe_without oxygen... and then imagine a rundown vessel chugging along through the vastness of space looking for its next supply of air for its crew. You can pretty much guess how that goes... It's total...
The Photoshoot
_"Come on, Martin. It's just for a few hours and it'll really boost your confidence! You can get paid too!"_ _"No chance," the mutt huffed, "I'm not stripping to just my underwear for some camera."_ _"It's two hundred dollars an hour." The stallion...
Dear Diary: The Interview
Long time, no see Mr Diary! I should probably apologise for having left it so long to put an entry down in you; I've been utterly swamped with work and with something I've taken my time to. You see, after going to that hotel and getting filmed by that...
Right to the Top
It had been several weeks since Ash had been lured in by the charm of the domineering zebra. He'd found himself oddly transfixed with Theodore; perhaps it was the attraction of a decent male who knew where he was going in life and had a twinkle in his...
Jason & the Quarterback
Normally, Jason's appetites ranged from the bulky to the rugged, and he seldom went for anyone who was near his age or younger. He liked men who could handle themselves, who were the sort to throw punches, drink beer and just be general rowdy guys....
The Thick Twins
"We heard yer a queer, Elliot," one of them said with that condescending sneer in his voice, already peeling his lip back to show off his glinted fangs. They stood before me, Oscar and Oliver McDermott, twin Friesian drafts who had more brawn than...
On the edge
The smell of his leather was stifling, suffocating even as he pressed himself against me. My paws took to their own agenda, scoping out his bared chest and stomach, running along the grooves that had formed through sweat and hard work. He was...
A Night With Dad
Dad lived on the other side of town, the rundown area where you didn't hang about in the streets after dark and where you made sure you knew who you could trust. I remembered vivid memories of my childhood often lying in bed, too scared to even close...
Like Rabbits
A year ago today I met Kris. It was supposed to be my sister's wedding. After a couple of years of dating, Randall had finally popped the question. No doubt they had been doing the speeches at the reception when I'd left, maybe cutting the cake even....
Only Today
Today, Harvey wanted nothing to do with the cat sitting in front of him. "It's an uncommon condition, usually found inherent amongst other relatives, though it has been known to be caused by mutation." Doctor's offices were interesting. One would...
Here Cums Santa
"I hate being called that." "Oh shush, it's funny." "I think it's cheap and lame." "Just because you're a polar bear named Nicholas," A wistful sigh, "I think you'd find the funny side of it." A snort of annoyance, borderline derision, but the fox...
