Wedding Preparations (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Rachelle checked her wristwatch once again as she entered the bridal store. Ears and feathers and a bit of wings perked with excitement at the confirmation that today was the day the dress was scheduled to be complete. She held her beak closed with...
Rattling Van's Trip (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Linda shifted position in the driver's seat of the old van, gazing out wide into the horizon under the noon-time sun. He couldn't see any other cars out along the lonely stretch of road, only the scrubby plants and meager grasses that sought to...
Campfire Gaggle (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The whickering glimmers of the campfire's light gingerly illuminated the fennec's face as he stood atop an upturned bucket and leaned in close to listen to the sounds of the car's engine. Beneath his inspection rumbled along one of the old cheaply...
Silence Radio (Otherwise Untitled)

Puzzling Pieces (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The brown bear leaned back against the console's base and glared out across the carefully arranged sea of tiny parts he'd arranged across the floor. The process of disassembling four burnt out communication processors had been straightforward, even...
Limbo Lower (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The scorched and battered hulk of the ship rested heavily into the footprint of the broad prairie, the majority of the worthwhile and detachable bits having been long since removed. In the skeletal framing of panels and discolored equipment, the...
Paperwork (Otherwise Untitled)
