Falling from Grace- Part I
One might say that I was a fool who fell from grace. I was a war hero, had land, status and a title. Yet I lost all of it due to an act of lust. I was Viscount Maugham, now I'm merely known as Hugh Maugham, if other Furs can bare to speak to me....
The Defector
For those of you alive in the 1980s, it probably brings back memories of cell phones the size of bricks, MTV and white Reebok pumps (I got through two pairs). However, it was also an era in which the Cold War still loomed over our lives. It was just...
Out of The Ordinary
Jamie leant against the wall, observing the work he had done so far that day. He had spent the morning working on a Holden Ute, which now stood shining beneath the fluorescent strip-lights. He turned and began washing his paws, getting ready for his...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty Nine
Three years may sound like a long time, but in the grand scheme of things it passes by very quickly. "So you have all the correct gown measurements?" "Huh?" I replied as I was shaken from my thoughts. "The measurements for your gown, just in...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty Eight
I tapped my claws nervously against the door as we drove along, listening to the rhythmic_click, click, click_ sound they made. Charlotte was driving us in her mother's Mercedes A-Class, which had I been in a better mood I would have taken the time...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty Seven
I ended up calling a taxi to go to campus. After having the luxury of having my own car I couldn't make head or tail of the bus route through Beldover. I knew there was a bus to campus from the town centre, but I didn't know where to start from Aunt...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty Six
"You've no idea how much I've missed this." I rolled over and fixed Lachlan a grin. His eyes twinkled as he smiled back. "It's not been _that_ long since we last woke up together, but after these past few days it does feel like eternity," he...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty Five
It was dark by the time I made my way outside. Aunt Ruth wasn't home which was good. I didn't need questions about where I was going or why my eyes were red from crying. I unlocked my car and jumped into the driver's seat. The rain was pattering...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty Four
I couldn't go to campus, I knew I just couldn't I had Stenning-Brown's class but the idea of being confined in a small space with the wheezing badger only added to my feelings of distress. Add gossiping classmates to the mix and any motivation I had...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty Three
Messaging Lachlan repeatedly proved fruitless. I spent part of the night sat on my bed, waiting for him to call or message again, but nothing came. By the time I fell asleep the morning light was already starting to creep through the curtains. It...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty Two
Not waking up in Lachlan's arms felt strange and empty. I sighed as I rolled over in bed and reached out for my phone to check the time. I noticed I had missed a call from my mum. Part of me didn't want to call her back in case there was intrusive...
Special Assignments - Chapter Thirty One
We reached the familiar stretch of road leading up to campus. "I wish we didn't have to separate," I mumbled. "Think of Hudson messaging you, look forward to catching up with your friends," Lachlan encouraged. "And I'll message you once you're done...
