A Guardian Friend
“A drink?” The alligator opened the mini-fridge and showed the wolf its contents. “There’s cider, soft drinks, sparkling water…” “I’ll pass, haha,” Decro said. “Water helps with motion sickness.” Very grabbed a glass bottle of Prisal mineral water...
Sisyphus
A blue furred dragon groaned as he came to. He tried to stand up but an excruciating headache made it difficult. He collapsed back onto the carpeted floor. "Where...where am I?" The headache blurred his vision and made it hard to think. Going by his...
Trophy of a Hero
There was an explosion. He had turned around, but there was no time to react. Black tendrils had come up to restrain him, and a wave of darkness had engulfed him. Ignition woke up with a start. Where was he? He tried to get up, but his spandex-clad...
In Plain Sight
He's delivered to my workshop in a body bag. I get my assistant to open it up and we lay him on the worktable. White wolf, probably an arctic. Male. I'm not sure what he's done to warrant a hit on him--most of the bodies I get are in their late 30s or...

The Cursed Village
There was no sign of life as a blizzard raged over the desolate forest. A flash of steel-blue light seared across the terrain, only to dissipate, leaving behind two adventurers. One was a rogue, dressed in a grey cloak and leather guards. The other was...
He’s a Keeper
It's not always you meet a guy who's a keeper, but there he was. Handsome wolf, beautiful fur, sculpted body. Great personality too, but we know it won't matter once he's mine. After a fancy dinner date, we find ourselves on my living room couch,...
Repaid in Full
The lounge couch is comfortable, but you find little solace in it as you tap your fingers on the oak table. The door that you came in from is an unremarkable door made of dark wood, contrasting the grand double doors opposite it. Each door was metallic...
Just Another Demonstration
Alreker hated waiting. The dragon paced about the white laboratory with angry stomps. His reckless impatience had gotten him into countless trouble, but so what? Sure, this morning he _may_ have been greedy and bet an astronomical amount of money on a...
Garchomp, I Choose You!
The air in the office was cold and crisp, with the faintest of hums coming from unseen vents in its walls. The walls and ceiling were lined with pristine white panels, separated by discreet strips of LED light, bathing the entire room in sterile...
