Dreams Take Flight
**_Sunday Night_** The storm was strong, but not violent. What thunder there was stayed at a respectful distance, and after it passed, all that was left was the firm, steady drumming upon the roof high above. The horses seemed content to stay in...
Depositions
Although the old grandfather clock in the hall was indeed ticking, it wasn't nearly as ominous-sounding as it had been last night. Some unknown factors were now known, some uncertainties were set to rest, backs were firm and resolves stiffened....
Jumping Mouse, Part 1
"Mrs. Peel... you're needed." I'd have jumped out of my fur entirely, if I hadn't caught a whiff of wintergreen a few seconds earlier. As it was, I pivoted in place and looked at the tall, lanky figure leaning against the coat closet door of my condo,...
Gaming the System
I left the employment queue, keeping my anger in check. It was bad enough that they weren't going to give me a job at this high-and-mighty office complex; I wasn't going to give them the excuse to have me incarcerated as well. Just as well that it...
I Shot an Arrow
Quote: When you look into a night sky, you see the stars far away. You're seeing them because of the light which travels from them to you. Now, it takes time for light to travel here, so what you're doing is seeing the stars as they were in the past -...
Bloodline, Part 1
It had been about two months since that first night with Abram. For a long while, what I felt most was a peculiar kind of emptiness, a sensation of a large hole in my spirit. When that image finally came to me fully, I realized exactly what it was that...
Having a friend by - (Prose Addendum)
The ever-wonderful tristan black wolf looked at a smutty commission of mine (the colored version of which can be found below, as well as here) and wrote some prose that is far, far too classy (in my humble opinion) for it.
Sheepish (Pundamentals 2)
I had never seen the young ram so upset before. We would often meet for coffee at the little café just down the block from my office, particularly after his weekly therapy session. He was very open about his desire for change, to better himself, and...
TTYS -- Welcome to the Mews
A walk of only six blocks brought the four friends to a very discreet door just off the high street, tucked away in the small, short road with the amusing sign of "Panthera Mews." Simba laughed, pointing out the sign to Kovu. "I'll bet he does, with...
Natural Habitat Interviews 5: Ophelia, and The Ten Questions
James Lipton: We welcome now Ophelia Featherstone, Esq., whose anthropomorphic form is that of the _caniformia musteloidia mephitidae._ OPHELIA: You can say "skunk." There's nothing the least bit wrong with it. James Lipton: I suppose that I'm...
TTYS -- Loosening the Fit
"Are you gentlefurs satisfied with the selections?" their panther host asked them. "We offer a bit of everything here, as Mr. Wolf well knows." Jack stepped up to his husband to kiss him warmly, even as the young citra continued to rub his...
Grayson 1
# Grayson 1 **Saturday, May 7, 2011** Dear Diary: I've always had mixed feelings when a semester ends. On the one paw, no more papers to grade, no more timetable to hold me so strictly to the demands of a clock, no more (yaaaawn) faculty meetings....
