Burdens - Chapter 116: White

Burdens - Chapter 108: Deal
Chapter 108: Deal Roger's attention was brought back to his computer when he heard the notification pop up. His lion friend, Greg, had sent him a message, which seemed a bit more common than the fox sending any. The lion told the fox that he was...
Burdens - Chapter 80: Instruction
Chapter 80: Instruction Roger's face was flush. He felt warm, and he scooted away from the wolf slightly. "That's, um... that's kind of something you, uh...." He knew what he should say, but the words would not come. Hunter had a pleading expression...
Burdens - Chapter 105: Momentary
Chapter 105: Momentary Roger had moved his head back slightly to confront a worried face. "Are you okay?" the wolf asked him. He placed a paw on the fox's back supportively. "Y-yeah, I'm..." the fox began, but one eye was shut tightly as he...
Burdens - Chapter 107: Struggle

Burdens - Chapter 121: Useless
Chapter 121: Useless The news had the same reruns playing throughout the day. It seemed nothing new was happening in the world, aside from what had happened the day prior. Another normal day. Perhaps that was what his surgery was like. Roger finished...
Burdens - Chapter 138: Worry
Chapter 138: Worry Roger had been seeking some time alone with the wolf to finally show him some affection, but it seemed to be a difficult task lately. However, now the wolf was sitting on his bed, staring at him with a smile and a tail constantly in...
Burdens - Chapter 113: Acceptance
Chapter 113: Acceptance Roger thought he had not heard the lion correctly. "What did you say?" "There's a tumor in your brain," the lion repeated. The fox shook his head. "No way. It's just the flu." How would the lion know, anyhow? "I asked you...
Burdens - Chapter 139: Price
Chapter 139: Price Hunter had stayed home for the fox's adventure with Matt. He said he wanted to help with chores, though Roger knew he wanted more praise from his mother. The fox thought it was cute, in a way. They had wandered off toward a local...
Burdens - Chapter 118: Dry
