Nothing I can do
Hey all, here is a little something, a small piece of poetry in a whatever style. I figured I'd regale you with the inner workings of my mind while I wait on Maeve for the next bit of _In the World After_. It's kind of a downer, but try to enjoy it for...
In the World After: Chapter 9
"Hey, where did Aaron run off to?" I called from under one of the 3 abandoned cars we had found on our way up to the mountains. Positioning the empty gas can underneath the gas tank of the car, I carefully pushed the point of a hunting knife to the...
In the World After: Chapter 8
The Infected howled in pain as a bullet whizzed through its head and he fell at my feet. I blinked and glanced at my hand. The fingers were trembling and I quickly took my finger away from the trigger. Glancing around, I searched for the source of the...
In the World After: Chapter 7
Holy freakin cow! This took long enough! I have finally finished the seventh chapter of In the World After, and I really hope you all enjoy it. * * * A third shot sounded above the ruckus of the hoard trying to find its way towards us....
In the World After: Chapter 2
\*If you didn't read the notes above, READ THEM! Thank you :) 6 years ago was when it all started. A virus, a disease that sprang from the back woods of Scandinavia, fast and incurable. It took only 2 months until outbreaks began to pop up in the...
Finding One's Way; Chapter 6 - Michael
I didn't want to die for some grand, stupid reason. I didn't want to die to make a point. I just wanted to die because I had seriously messed up my life, and I saw no way of making it better. I couldn't even decide who I was. My life made no sense. I...
In the World After: Chapter 1
I lay curled on the cold cement floor. The chill slowly seeped through my fur into my aching bones as I lay, curled and crying. I held my tail in my arms, like a child holds a teddy bear, as I buried my muzzle into it. The blood that was splattered all...
A Wolf for Christmas
The cold winter sun of Friday, December 18th, did little to warm Jason as he walked down the sidewalk. The day had been cold, barley reaching above freezing. Luckily, though, most of the day had been spent in his heated school finishing his finals. It...
Finding One's Way; Chapter 5 - Luke
_Why!? Why does this happen to me?_ I slashed my hands through the air with anger. Tears were now streaming down my cheek fur, which I tried to mop up quickly with me sleeve. The last thing I need is my parents seeing cry lines down my cheeks. _This is...
Finding One's Way; Chapter 4 - Michael
"Ahg! Not again..." I muttered as I woke up on a chilly Sunday morning. For the third consecutive night, I'd had a dream about Luke. I had dreamed about him in general, about us being together, and other things. I knew that it was so wrong for me to be...
Finding One's Way; Chapter 3 - Luke
Those couple of weeks after the dance and kiss with Natalie were challenging for me mentally. It seemed, as luck would have it, that even though there didn't seem to be anyone looking, everyone saw my escapade. Within a matter of days, the whispers...
Finding One's Way; Chapter 2 - Luke
I don't exactly know when I knew for-sure that I was gay, and it probably didn't help that I didn't really know about homosexuality in the first place. I remember struggling to place my feelings and decide whether they were good or not. All I know is...
