Welcome to Quarantine
The apartment was dark. It was day, but all the curtains were pulled. The common room laid desolate. Abandoned snack wrappers and take out containers scattered the floor. The television was muted, the same news channel had been on for the last 72...
Garlic Beans (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The fox leaned over from the pantry and towards the apartment's main room, "We've got black, red, turtle, kidney, somehow darker red, and lentil beans. And something called a split pea." ~ After a pause the ferret leaned out of the bathroom, damp...
Meals and Plans (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The laundromat was a soft rumble of clanking machines and muffled tumbles of clothes as Jake regarded the length of vending machine dubliously. The dragon glanced over to Randy, smiling at how comfortable the kobold seemed to be sitting in the corner...
Care Package (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The rabbit nibbled gingerly at the microwaved potato, giving the core of it time to steam out its heat. With her other hand, she regarded the careful script of her mother laid out on the page with an ink somewhat faded by the weeks the package had...
