Epic Shirt of Dragon Laying
_Epic Shirt of Dragon Laying_ _ _ I watched the mailman leave the front porch, start up his delivery truck, and drive off. With great enthusiasm, I let go of the corner of the curtain where I was peeping through, hopped off the couch, and dashed...
First an End
_First an End_ _ _ I held my adoring gryphon tightly against my body. He crooned and rumbled softly against my chest, the smaller male conforming snugly against my front. Our wings were pressed against each other, and his soft feathers tickled my...
The Back Way
_The Back Way_ _ _ It's quiet. Chilly. The air feels fresh, and my feet dabbed into one of the little ponds made from the leftover rainwater from the last storm which hadn't quite evaporated yet. I'm making my way back to my apartment, maneuvering...
Too Much Video Games
_Too Much Video Games_ _ _ I glanced at my alarm clock. _4AM._ I should go to sleep. Fucking Mai Trin. My stupid party's wiped four times already. I'm tired of seeing my Charr engineer lying dead on the floor. I resurrect him. My armor's broken...
The Restaurant at the Center of a Sun

Falling
_Falling_ _ _ Heavenly light pierced the brilliant white clouds from above me. Below, red, brown, and death waited. The air whipped past me as I fell. How did it come to this? One second I was with him, my dragon who had whisked me away from my...
Superiority Complex
_Superiority Complex_ _ _ "Mmm, that's good." "Gods, I wish I had a tongue like that." "You're perfect the way you are." Anthony licked up and down the spire of flesh presented to him, his tongue working its way all around the dragon's dark shaft....
Greenhouse
_Greenhouse_ _ _ "So now that the loop is finished, how do I get it to display the result?" Mary couldn't occupy the display while Anthony was trying to code a program on it, so she responded only with her voice. "Erm, first, in this language you...
A Bare Planet
_A Bare Planet_ _ _ Nakira Prime. Anthony saw a whole hodgepodge of organic bodies of all shapes and sizes, even more than he'd seen in the segregated little bipedal section of the Omnimart he'd meandered through, and he felt nearly no insanity. The...

_Omnimart_ _ _ Anthony stood absolutely bewildered by the planet-sized superstore. It had begun with the parking lot. Spindles of metal arms and tubes extended out from the planet sized superstore, the docking and transportation railways spread...
