Chapter 7 - Grand Company (part 2)
Leoric halted his horse and withdrew the long rifle from its place. Holding his breath, he looks into the tree line, "I have nothing of value, so you can stop wasting your time and face me or leave." he shouted into the distance. A small female came...
New beginnings
(June 26, Portland Courthouse) The weekend had passed somewhat uneventfully. The group had relocated back to Hank's cabin and the beauty of the Oregon forests. Hank and the General spent much of the time fishing, while the ladies plotted and practiced...
Sleepless Night & Trying Day
(June 17, 21:00 - Susan's apartment) It was pointless to drive back up the mountain with the plans for the following morning. Hank and the General had packed the old Chevy truck with all the supplies, remaining clothing and cots before they left the...
Laundry Trouble
(June 16, 14:00 - Hank's cabin) Cecily pulled the Camaro up to the cabin beside the yellow Corvette. Lilliana looked out the window at the new shiny car, "That girl is all flash, just has to have the newest fanciest thing she can get." She turned to...
Meetings & Reunions
It had been two nights since any of them had slept inside the cabin. The nights were spent by the bonfire in the clearing, as they talked about happenings over the years, shared stories past and present, and laughed at each other's exploits. Cecily sat...
Confruntation & Conditions
(June 14, 02:00) The Camaro bounced down the dirt road toward Hank's cabin. The woods were pitch black, only the headlight cut through the darkness. As Lilliana pulled up to the cabin, stopping next to the old Chevy, she glanced over at the dark cabin....

(June 13, 08:30) Standing at the back of the '73 custom restored, candy apple red Camaro, the six foot tall liger looked down at the under sized Kangaroo mouse, "OK, Sisy, I have to um... talk to some people in Midway. I am going to run you up to...
Unexpected arivals
(June 13 06:00 Portland Oregon) Susan awoke and looked at the clock, a full six hours of sleep. The plump chinchilla stretched then rolled out of bed, landing on her hands and feet. Instantly she assumed the 'front-leaning rest' position...
Good Friends in Bad places
The rain had been falling for the past three hours, the precipitation mixed with the puddle of three day old urine and sweat. She could feel the drenched uniform sticking to her fur beneath the body armor and gilly suit. Lightning flashed in the...
War Stories
(June 10 14:00) Cecily slouched in her seat, bare paws on the dash in front of her, sketchbook propped against her thighs. A set of oversized headphones sat around her neck playing pop song from a CD in the player loud enough for her to hear over...
Paperwork
(June 9, 18:00) They had spent the past six hours at the Busch Gardens theme park, exploring every inch of the living attraction, yet never stepping foot to the rides. Lilliana realized then that the meek little mouse was not a thrill seeker, but a...
Run to Busch Gardens
Cecily huddled in the corner, tail wrapped around her, holding her ears flat to her head. He was outside the door again, yelling. Maybe he was drunk, maybe he was just mad, but these days he always seemed to yell. Pounding on the door, "Open up...
