A Tentative Night
I had the phone in my hand with a text box ready to be filled. Should I do this? I'm sure he wants to hang out, it's been a month since last time. I looked deeper at my phone, my eyes are unfocused. I'm always chickening out. How many times have I gone...
4 : Obscured
Scilius nearly waddled his way to school. Elliot had been invading his mind, through the entire night without remorse. Every time he closed his eyes he saw his companion in some form or another, either flashing a smile, brandishing himself in his...
3 : Obscured
Scilius had been watching Elliot carefully for the duration of their first three periods. His eyes focused strongly on the curve of Elliot's smile, held firm upon his muzzle. As critical as Scilius could be, now with his renewed eyes, he still could...
Breaking the Rules
I hate walking home like this. Every step I take is one step closer towards my house. One step closer towards being grounded. Once I'm in the house, stepping into that door, I'm not coming out until Monday, at the least. This is awful. It's supposed to...
6 : Obscured
Scilius sat against the school wall, next to Maryan, each one of them holding a notebook and pencil in their laps. One hour and two sets of mathematics packets later had left them task-less. Scilius tapped his foot and waved his tail. His mind...
1 : Obscured
Scilius was enjoying himself in the shower, letting hot water run down his scales. The small remains of his waxy shedding skin started drifting off as he scrubbed his scales. His eyes, arms, legs, and even crotch were now, finally, covered not in dead...
3 : BlindSighted
Scilius woke up again, but this time, a thousand times less reluctant. He eagerly threw his clothing on, and, although he couldn't see for sure, tried to make sure that he looked sharp. He threw his backpack on his shoulder and hugged his mom before...
6 : BlindSighted
Scilius scratched at the scales on his arm, where the skin was finally starting to peal of cleanly. He was almost ready to shed his old skin completely. He would no longer have to deal with the constant assault of teasing classmates. He'd be able to...
2 : Obscured
Constant and unavoidable noise. The mall was almost unbearable. Scilius began to run away, an instinct that had been starting to develop. But, while in his sprint, the normal glass doors that had usually bordered his escape didn't budge in his grasps....
5 : Obscured
Scilius smiled when he first walked into the classroom, seeing the familiar grey form sitting in his usual chair. However, once he saw Elliot's snout, Scilius grew a look that matched. Elliot was still upset, and not smiling. Scilius was hoping that...
You Promissssed
"Really?" Matt was elated, about to get even more excited. They were sitting against the wall of Matt's room, having a conversation that they both knew would happen. Matt started clinging onto his friend's shoulder, his stubby feline tail waving,...
2 : BlindSighted
Scilius hated waking up in the morning. He turned over to silence some incessant beeps that were radiating from his alarm clock. For a second a thought bounced in his mind, _what day is it?_ As he sobered from his sleep he had been able to answer that...
