Deviant Thoughts
The dew laden grass licked Derek's fingertips as he thought quietly beside the crackling fire. Glancing over, he saw through the dancing light the green scaled rear of the dragon whose tail revealed his delicate underside to be a shade of gold. His...
On The Run
Alex scooped up the water from the vacant bathing hole, and threw it into his face, rolling his paws over his eyes to his ears, and pointing his maw up into the night sky. His coal-black nose caught a strong scent, "You've come to take me in, haven't...
Salvage
Bryce rolled the E-cigarette around in his maw, letting it hang from his lip. With a draw, it's green LED tip illuminated the darkened cockpit. "Y'know maybe we should just scrap the old bitch? I mean, shit, we found her floatin' out here. So, it's a...
Twenty-Two: The Net
The sky above was a brilliant blue and below he watched as the Net generated a cluster of clouds that floated along. The bus lurched forward, drawing his attention back inside. The passengers sat motionless, their eyes distant and half-open, all of...
The Big Bad Wolf
Kyle stood at the dark mouth of the forest, his wool bag limp across his shoulder and the winter wind at his back. The path before him curved down into a valley, twisted sharply, and went out of sight of where he stood; and the wide moon kept it dimly...
The Strawberry Lube
Cole checked his watch and nervously glanced about the Academy's parking lot. He had a reason to be there, but the school didn't see it that way; and at a quarter after close, Max, a Doberman 'security officer', patrolled with a dozen detentions in his...
Don't Tease The Dog
There was something haunting about those golden eyes. They watched him as he tried his hardest not to look back, not to encourage the owner, a Doberman, from approaching him. He'd duck behind a strolling group of merchants and their carts on the docks,...
The Chat
He sat in the lush meadow, the warm glow of the sun on his tan skin, and the wind played in the tall blades of grass around him; sometimes it even rustled his thick, black hair. In the distance he could hear the roar of the surf and the cries of the...
The Book
Tosh's heart hammered under his rain-soaked trench coat as his shoes splashed through a puddle. Coughing hard, he glanced back as he shot pass the old ruined library. It was no accident that he decided to take this very street. _"They bullying you,...
The English TA
Eric hated English. He didn't care if he knew the difference between indefinite or definite articles, nor the difference between transcendentalist authors and existentialist authors. He just wanted to get his B and get out of the damn class as fast as...
The Bench
"Shit," Hank brushed the sweat from his wrinkled forehead, "Thought we never get these stables this clean, Ash." "Too bad we'll never see a raise, and just get the whip if we don't obey. Yes, Doxen," Ash patted the thick scale hide of the nearby...
Warlord I: The Master Spy
He listened to the pattering of the rain, the sounds faintly echoing in his stone cell. Four days had passed, he thought. The first day when they attacked his carriage, the second was the unconscious journey here, and if his sleep schedule had remained...
