She pressed her red bag higher up under her wing and hopped sideways toward the cave opening. From the side passage, the low whistle of her father snoring echoed against stone walls. The tunnels made him sound larger, more menacing than a squat sparrow...
Rats
A rat walked into a bar. It wasn't that big of a deal, really. We've got rats in this join all the time. I should know. I own the place. We got Whiskers Mahoney in here every Saturday for a chat with his boys, and even now, if you looked over in that...
Episode Seven: MAAB
She tugged on a bit of grass, and the strands parted from the mat, pulling free. Tr'lia held the smaller bit in her beak and hopped two bounces to the right. The fiber had cost her the rest of her festival money, and it wasn't very good quality at...
STI- A Dangerous Hope
Millie bent over the sleeping possum and frowned. He'd wandered in and out of consciousness for half the night, and the wound in his side had turned angry and red an hour in. Whatever made that cut hadn't been clean, and she weighed that fact alongside...

STI- Teresa's Discovery
The skunk screamed, muzzle stretched into a wide gap and pink tongue curling around the single, terrified syllable. Hector moaned, let his lashes flutter and peeked just enough to be sure she had no weapon, that he wasn't about to be beaten or...
Episode Si: MAAB
**Much Ado About Bluebottles: (continued)** P'rao waited for them under the bleachers. Tr'lia landed on the highest perch, three beats before Lili's impact rattled the dried timbers. She saw him twist his neck up, caught the flash of green in the...
