Staying For Dinner
At that kind of age, it's odd that your son's best friend asks to stay over to eat. Normally they're keener to get out of the house, to coop themselves up in their rooms and to yell at a TV screen as their character gets blown to smithereens. The last...
The Other Side
"You'll want to start off easy." Alexian sat on the plush chair, the fabric a discoloured rouge from where it had stained - the fluids of men having dripped across its covers, though which fluids was perhaps the question which lingered in the fox's...
Cold Night
Comet just got off the phone; he wasn't happy. I sat listening through the wall for a full fifteen minutes catching what seemed like the petering end of a long drawn out argument. He'd just broken up with Sam, I hadn't heard the reason why, but I'd...
Snowbound
So my flight was cancelled, and after having already spent two hours on a stuffy coach sat next to a dude with bad BO I was pretty much ready to punch the next unfortunate soul who told me I couldn't have what I wanted. First world problems, right? But...
KS: Winner Takes All
Rei was not accustomed to this gym. He went elsewhere to workout. The Grind however was where he'd been told to go, the fitness centre being the only venue willing to turn a blind eye to what was to shortly follow right on camera. The owners were the...
After Class
They were getting restless. Tired, smothered in the lazy heat, and so very close to the end of their class. The students were already perched upon the edges of their seats, bags and books in paws, eyes darting to the slow tick of the clock every time...
Dusk Rising: Prologue
_Present day:_ Bitter nightfall was fast approaching, as the sky lit up in an arching inferno from the screaming volleys and scorching bombshells. A sequestered island was the pockmark in a lake, attacked from all sides by invading forces that clawed...
His Master's Voice
The chill of the air made Boris's breath condense into a fine mist each time he dragged out a huff. It seemed to coalesce into a thin screen before him as his breathing came short and panting. A cold sweat stung his skin as droplets ran down his nude,...
Another Round?
Zwoosh was led to the back room in his befuddled stupor. It had began like any other night; go to a bar, have a few drinks, see what might become of the evening. Most times the mutt left empty handed, only sated with a gutful of booze and a heavy head....
Beau's Trepidation
Samantha was pissed, and she was on a rampage. I was tucked away, hidden in the kitchen as I stooped over our toaster that was well past the date where it belonged in the trash. Inside it desperately tried to incinerate the slice of bread I'd put in,...
Predator and Prey
They'd been leering at each other from across the club. A subtle wink here, a lick of the lips there; both were primed now. Nothing would stand in their way as the zebra by the bar made his way over to the lustful lion that huddled himself away in the...
Logan's Acceptance
It had been almost a month since I'd finally come clean to Robin. It had been gnawing away at me like some kind of diseased rat inside of me, and I'd finally had enough. Inviting him to the beach that had was one of the hardest things I've done in my...
