Backroom Deals
I was already a bit tired when I got into the back of the car. Catherine and I had played a bit late that Saturday, and the dinner with Mr and Mrs DeMille had been anything but relaxing. My stomach already felt a bit uncomfortable as I started doing up...
All-Star Weekend
I slipped into the backseat, and nearly had a heart attack as i almost bumped into a mountain of smiling palm cockatoo. "hiro! how was your visit with your father?"
Draft
She took a seat at an empty table, and the others immediately started sitting around her, speaking to each other and directing questions over at the palm cockatoo.
Trei's Tribulations. Chapter 1
Came a sharp annoyed squawk, from a small female cockatoo her bright pink crest raised in annoyance at the wolf she was studying with, who seemed to have drifted off into his own thoughts, again.

Questions of Leadership
