Ship's Travel (Otherwise Untitled)
~ With a yawn and some more scratching at his chin, Captain Kild flicked on the intercom microphone. His voice flooded the ship from the crisp crackle of copper cables. "Good morning, loyal crew of the Lopsided Tug, we are now on day fourty-three of...
Pirate Pig (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The salt spray of the ocean made it more difficult to make out the flags that the transport ship was flying, but it was a triffling matter. She was obviously lightly loaded by the way she rode the waves, which meant she carried high density wealth,...
Sounds of Cooking (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The crisp sound of a freezer opened, the soft whump of the door closing. Subdued rustling of cardboard tearing, then shift of plastic slid across cardboard. Softly mumbled aloud reading of directions. ~ ~ Whuck-click, microwave door opens....
Tortoise Wins. (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The tortoise's small spacecraft creaked softly as she put in the autopilot to take her back to the homestead claim on the cold, promising moon. She'd won the race; the hare's ship was debris in the abandoned asteroid mining belt behind her. The comms...
Fox on a Colony (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The fox leaned heavily into the lever-arm, mashing the tractor back into gear as he came about to plow another row of his field. This year, he was going to make it work. He had just the recipe: a delicate blend of fertilizer, a custom script for the...
Mammal in Space (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The skunk gripped the empty mug that formerly contained imaging gel tightly between her hands, and barely kept her breathing under control. She could still taste the gell, and she was nervous but couldn't allow herself to panic. The ship shuddered,...

No J-Turns (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The cold bite of Winter followed the kobold in as she slunk along through the front door of her apartment. Even with the door closed, whisps of chill danced their way about the room and off towards the beds. Content to let such things wind themselves...
Alternatives to Studies (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Down the length of largely empty hallway staggered the meerkat disheveled in dress and haggard in appearance. She slipped in amongst the group loitering outside the lecture hall's doors, coming to a stop next to the collie. ~ "Yikes, you don't look...
Tumble of Words (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The small consultation office was complicated with various medical sundries and instruments, along with informational posters adorning each wall in turn. ~ "Know Your Patient Rights!", proclaimed red letters above what looked to be towers of fine...
Carry a Ride (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The entire bridge of the ship was a scattered mess of disassembled terminals and flickering lights, as the elderly gryphon stood firmly in the circle he'd cleared out at the center. With his remaining wing flared, he ducked his head low to inquire,...
Tears in the Aisle (Otherwise Untitled)
~ To the success of the plan, the grocery was significantly less occupied during the hours the badger had selected, and she found the cereal aisle to be empty on her arrival. She peered down along its length, fingers clamped firmly onto the handle of...
