The Wall Pt 1
The darkness split open, and a man stood black against the glare of chill daylight. "Mm hm. Got papers for them?" Edward slowly raised one hand to shade his eyes. He thought the man had cat ears. "Yeah, in the cab." Gravel crunched as their...
To Hold On To Pt 5
Tyler hated waking up in his own bed. Mostly because he was usually dreaming of being with her now, and suddenly realizing she wasn't there, that the soft surface under him was just some stupid fake padding, was just about enough to break his heart...
Purple Tag Public Service
He kept coming back to the skirt. Well, really, it'd be like... functional, kinda... right? Maybe they'd like it better. For... convenience. He picked it up twice, but finally stuffed it back in the closet. No. Not on his first day. That'd just...
Haunting You Pt 1
Hiding a jaw-cracking yawn behind a paw, Jared drew his pack snug on one shoulder as he moved to get out of the way. The school librarian locked the door right behind him, the older raccoon smiling briefly in his direction. "Have a good night. Seeya...
Haunting You Pt 2
It was a lot harder to be sure of just what had happened in the morning. Really, he didn't have any experience with drugs. Maybe some of them make you experience extensive, intense, sexual hallucinations while otherwise remaining lucid? Okay, that...

Tyler wanted to keep all of it, but Mrs. Hutchinson said he should just get rid of it, as she wouldn't let him wander around making a mess. He insisted he wouldn't, but he couldn't go two feet without proving that a lie. Their compromise was for him to...
Hooked Pt 2
Going by what little they actually described in the ad, the job sounded mind-numbingly dull. Basically sit in a cubicle and shuffle papers and excel sheets all day every day. Soul-crushing, meaningless stuff that just needs to get done in huge batches....
To Hold On To Pt 3
Tyler had trouble getting out of bed. Not just because he was still sleepy, nor the fact that he felt sort of sick to his stomach. Something felt... off. When he finally got his feet under him, his balance was wobbly at best, and he had to brace a paw...
Hooked Pt 1
Helena Day was contemplating her choices for lunch when her eleven o'clock appointment poked his head into her office. He was a raccoon with black eyes, and looked rather young to be interviewing for an apartment in as high-scale a community as the...
To Hold On To Pt 2
No real dreams came to Tyler, though his sleep was deeper and more contented than in quite a while. Instead, vague images and sensations drifted through him, melting from one into the other, connected more by the way they made him feel than by any...
