Tale 1 - A Typical Day for Darrius
Time off was necessary no matter what job a person worked. That was true even for those who worked for the guild known affectionately far and wide as 'The Gracious Gut'. Sure everyone was eager to get stuffed as often as possible and stay that way as...
The Warmth of Feathers
The bitter cold of the frozen north bit sharply at anything unprotected. Few ventured deep into the snow for that reason. Even fewer were undeterred by the creatures that roamed the hills and mountains of the icy region. Hebra was unforgiving to any...
Your Werewolf and You
Shane's head throbbed powerfully. It hurt so bad that it yanked him from sleep, leaving him feeling sluggish, heavy, and bloated. The smallish wolf grunted unhappily as the sun cast its rays across his face, right between the blinds. He turned as if to...

Talash's introduction to the family had been interesting to say the least. She had spent almost the entire weekend with Shayna curled up inside her. Smokey had spent the time similarly swollen, not letting Alex, Sirius, or Brian out until Sunday...
Bounty Hunters Have Obligations Too
"Damage report!" shouted Peppy. The command center was in disarray, but it could have been worse. The crew was running about, putting out small fires, cutting power to severed conduits, and effecting makeshift repairs to vital systems. "Hull...

The ground thumped with the beat of electronic music, heavy on the bass. It almost completely drowned out the concussive force of a few hundred people jumping and stamping in time with the beat. At least for those outside on the street. Inside,...
Water Weight
Richard was uncomfortable. But then that was the point. He was stretched out, immobilized, and held very securely by a series of straps and support bars. Just above him, just within reach, was a mechanism. It was designed to be squeezed, then rotated,...
Extracurricular Activities - Game Night
"I'm trapped!" Smokey cried in dismay as he looked at the table before him. He had foolishly rushed a lone enemy that had broken away from the group trying to outflank the party. As soon as he reached his target and struck, three more appeared behind...

"There's this chase scene where the heroine and her companion are running through a huge open air market. They get cornered in a dead end with vendors watching as the villain stands poised to attack, then the vendors start throwing things at him. It...
