Strangers in Booth #23
Snicks nervously rubbed the top of his scaly head, lacing his fingers between the nubs on the back of his scalp. It was a bit premature to call them horns at this stage, but they were still prominent enough to be noticed. He hadn't had time to file the...
Postinemesis Garden
The long, rectangular room was quiet except for the stirrings of Henning, who was perched on a chair specially made for him. Always restless, the cockatrice was wearing his ceremonial hood, which made him even more prone to fidgeting and complaining....
Dryvern
"So the war is going to move from cold to hot? That's what you think?" The larger gryphon spoke to the smaller's back as they moved on foot along one of the many trails that led up the side of the mountain. The...
Stuffing Kelly
The rooster shut the door behind himself, turned his key in the lock, and strode forward as if he owned the place. For the next hour or so he did own it, as well as the services of its occupant: a scantily clad monitor lizard named Shoa. "I expected...
Shower Poke
The water from the shower pelted against the ears and horns of the bull as he stood under the cascade. Small rivers through his black fur formed along his back, wandering randomly until reaching his tail, when they converged and circled it so long as...
Tapewyvern
This was the time of year when most who could afford it left town for vacations. Those who stayed typically didn't work. The heat was oppressive, but the hot season would be ending soon. Everyone found ways to endure the weather until it broke,...

Mother or stud
Jake couldn't sleep. The German shepherd rolled back and forth in bed, trying to get comfortable. He was long past caring if his maneuvers were disturbing his sleeping companion. If Raffe was losing sleep too, tough luck for him! Most of Jake's current...
Sinking Crocs
It was a windy night, but the skies were clear. The moon was out, but it was on the other side of the sky from the opening of a certain cavern, so the outside still looked very black. The tops of trees were visible as they swayed in the brisk breeze....
Killer of Pipefixers
It was nearing dark in the woods near the plains; the sun was about to disappear behind the mountains in the west. Some of the work to be done that day was left undone, but there was a reason: a visitor of great stature and reputation had arrived. ...
Catching His Eye
The kobolds scurried along the passageways, climbing and squeezing their way through twists and turns that would have been unnavigable even to dwarves. There were seven of the small reptilian folk in all, minimally armed; for the most part, they were...
Basement Billiards
The sun was about to set over the long row of fraternities and sororities, disappearing behind the peak of the triangular roof of Sigma Mu. At the opposite end of the street, looking west toward the setting sun through a window of the upper floors of...
