Road Trip (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The cockatiel bobbed his head to the music on the radio even as the static in the signal continued its slow rumble. It wouldn't be long before there wasn't any music left on this particular frequency as he and his passenger rolled down the interstate...
Corgi being Productive (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The corgi squirmed uncomfortably in his seat. The plastic molded furniture was not an improvement to his overall comfort, especially combined with the soft rumble of the machines that surrounded him. He never felt quite at ease amongst machines, and...
Before Commute (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The skunk's morning had been terrible. The alarm clock had been particularly grating with its reminder to become awake, the shower smelled faintly of watermelon for some reason, and his favorite shirt had fallen off of its hanger sometime in the...
Tick tock at the Station (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The raven looked up from his watch with a soft whine. He couldn't remember if he had planned to be early, or if the badger had planned to be late.

~ Frank rolled over with a groan. The ceiling was a soft blue-ish glow, and he could faintly make out the shadows cast in moonlight on his far wall. The otter looked to the clock. One in the morning. He resumed staring into the featureless sea of dimly...
