Buried Alive
Keith couldn't decide who was more deserving of his disgust: the inept gang of stoned Programming 101 dropouts responsible for coding SnowGoer, or himself for trusting his travel plans to a free app. The intermittent morning flurries the program...
Make Him Feel Pretty
Logan pushed through the large double doors that marked the entrance to the nightclub, releasing a gust of warm, humid air that accompanied him onto the sidewalk. The scent of bodies swirled around him--a potent miasma of sweat and cologne and musk...
Locker Room Fantasies
Celden groaned as he stretched to slip the loose-fitting pajama top over his head. Nearly two straight hours of homework had left his brain fried inside his aching head, and the casserole his mother made for dinner sat in his stomach like a lead brick....
Kid Game
It all started out as a game, you tell them. Jeremy laughs and says, "Doesn't it always?" You tell him no, it doesn't always, but it did this time. And it's your turn to tell a story, so keep quiet and listen up. And yeah, you assure the pair of...
Delayed Gratification
Another drop landed in the shallow depression of Nathan's belly, prompting his eyes to flutter open. Eyes green as summer meadows looked up to see white clouds against a blue sky. The forecast hadn't called for rain, at least as far as the bobcat had...

Compulsive Behavior
_CUM SLUT_ _FUCK TOY_ Brandy whined in frustration as she worked fruitlessly to clean the obscene writing off of her fur. Each clump of wet paper towels clutched in her fists tore to pieces after accomplishing little more than smudging the...
The Dark Arts
Muscle memory guided the fox's hand as he moved the paintbrush across the surface of the old oak stump. The experience of having drawn the same star on the same circle of wood more than a dozen times enabled him to space the points an even distance...
