Second Chances - Chapter 5
The breeze rustled the leaves of the tree gently above us. I could hear the wind chimes from my neighbor's yard. It was shady as we sat against the thick trunk. I had discovered that my jaw fit perfectly between the two fuzzy new antlers Darrick had...
Second Chances - Kazy - Part 2
I loved teasing the poor deer. I wasn't particularly picky about the room I was looking to rent, but when the deer opened the door in just his towel, I knew I had found the right place to stay. He was skittish though, so I kept my flirting subtle, as...
Second Chances - Kazy - Part 1
Hello everyone! This is the first part of a commission which features Darrick and Kazy (Kazy0008's character) in a sort of side-story to the main story of Second Chances. It time-hops a bit, but I think you'll be able to figure out where it all takes...
Second Chances - Chapter 28
My hands gripped the back of my neck so tightly, they shook. My nose wedged itself firmly into the crack of whatever book I had been trying to read through my clouded thoughts. This was too much. I couldn't believe I put the entire project onto...
Second Chances - Chapter 27
The darkness of my bedroom ceiling hung above me as I felt consciousness flow back through my body. A beam of sunlight split the dark field, and my eyes wandered down its path, until I hit the smallest sliver between my curtains which glowed like a...
Second Chances - Chapter 26
I sat in my desk and stared at the floor. Why was the universe punishing me? Out of everyone in that class, Jude had to be the one assigned to our big group project. Maybe he did it on purpose; he must have talked to the professor or something. My luck...
Second Chances - Chapter 25
I couldn't get the deer out of my mind. Even when I actively tried to forget about the whole thing, the thoughts of what happened creeped right back into my head. I tried to avoid asking Amanda about him, but somehow the words just slipped right out....
Second Chances - Chapter 24
Somehow, I managed to rent an even smaller apartment in the new town. What it lacked in cracked and dingy walls, it made up for in questionable carpet stains and noisy neighbors. But, for the price and how last minute everything was, I was willing to...
Second Chances - Chapter 23
I was looking forward to the new semester. My relationship with Amanda had returned back to normal, and a summer without classes meant that it was easy to avoid Hank, who had spent the rest of the semester staring daggers at me for breaking up with...
Second Chances - Chapter 22
I sat in the leather chair that uncomfortably hit my back directly under my shoulder blades. My nervous fingers ran along the buttons of my hastily purchased suit. My eyes wandered around the dark office decorated in deep wood tones and heavy drapes....
Second Chances - Chapter 21
I shifted my muzzle to get the rainbow mohawk out of my face. The rabbit lying on top of me didn't seem bothered as I tried to blow the fur away from me. My ear tilted as I heard Amanda's bedroom door open. The tired looking lioness glanced at the two...
Second Chances - Chapter 4
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I sprung awake to someone bursting through the door. The silhouette against the hallway light was tall and threatening. As my eyes adjusted, I could make out a pair of wide antlers. It was my father. "Dad! I...
