A Coffee Shop Rump
My ears perk up as I hear the bells on the door jingle, signaling that someone has entered the coffee shop. I look up and suppress a purr as a white and green-striped tiger walks through the door. I give him a smile and walk up to the counter,...
A Beating and a Bonding
"Damn, son! Pretty soon, you're gonna be bigger than me!" I gave Mase a firm smack on his bare, wet back, eventually moving my paw around his shoulder and pulled him right up next to me as made our way out of the showers. The kid's bulking up well...
The Start of Your Life
Chris sat patiently, waiting for the clinical nurse to return with her report on his physical. The exam room was your typical one you'd find at a clinic or hospital, generally the ones meant for annual checkups or urgent care visits. Sterile, stale,...
Jumping Through Hoops
"This summer seemed to last forever," He groaned, flopping face-first onto his bed after changing out of his work clothes for the day. Rex sighed, wondering how much longer he'd have to put up with working the dish room and busing tables...rather, if...
Frat Cats
Thankfully the Sig Tau house wasn't too far off and a was a short walk from campus, but I still get creeped out when it gets darker than it is now. I know it's lighted enough to keep students safe at night, but I sometimes get that nagging feeling of...
A Test of Loyalty
Another day. Another hot afternoon under the blistering sun. But that never stopped Mufasa from committing to his daily patrol around the Pridelands. Unlike many of his patrols in the past, though, he didn't make the journey alone anymore. Ever since...
Challenging the Studs
[i]He came alone...or should I say[/i] she [i]came alone, as I came to find. I couldn't tell at first with that oversized hoodie covering most of her body, save for the pink and black muzzle of her pup hood. Now that I think about it, the muzzle,...
Winter Savages
I marched through the thick layer of snow until I reached the edge of a nearby forest, with a trailhead leading into it. A large, red sign right in front of me stated in large, white letters: PROCEED WITH CAUTION!_Why would someone put this here? It's...
An Old Friend
It's been awhile since I've seen that badger. I think it's been, what, two years or so? I remember chatting with him about my fight with that wolf pup. He does agree with me on the "alpha complex" thing though. But what I didn't know at the time was...
The Art of Fluff
[i]"Alrighty...clothes, shower stuff, towel, swim trunks...let's see, Clash is in his bin, now where's my..."[/i] Zeebra looked around his room, wondering where he put his so-called 'fun bin' as he tried not to panic and make sure he had...
Midnight Bus
She was about to doze off hearing the monotonous hum of the tires on the pavement and the gentle rocking of the bus when it started to slow down; she sat on a wheel seat near the back. She brushed her hair and long, brown ear lop out of her face when...
Demons Are a Queen's Best Friend
"What a decade it's been..." She murmured, sipping on some freshly brewed tea in the dining hall after a hearty breakfast. Kass was one of the few who would be stirring about at this time of morning, as many of her subjects and kingdom either didn't...
