A Royal Gift Of Anna
"Welcome to the Pride Lands," Sarabi said. "Hakuna Matatta," she added. "No worries!" Bruma squeaked. "I like this place!" "I am Sarabi," the old lioness went on, "matriarch of the pride, mother of the king. And you?" "Forgive me," the panthress...
Anything But Temptation
"What do you want?" Lai'iya demanded, exasperatedly. N'Kanna just stared at her blankly, although the scent of his distress was clear, and growing. The otter boy's mouth worked, but nothing came out and he stopped. He'd been her friend since...
A Fox In The Spotlight
It was beautiful! The forest glade lay just beside the mountain trail. Tall grass and meadow flowers bathed in blue sky light there, surrounded by thick stands of cedar and tall maples and oaks. One beam of sunlight broke through the trees. Its edge...
What Bunnies Are For (v. 2.x)
He stared at the bunnies as they moved between the tables. They seemed so... Life-like? Of course they were life-like, they were alive! But what was it about them that he couldn't put his finger on as they went about in their traditional, black-satin...
Dominica 3: Little Sister
Dominica 3: Little Sister No, this time you're a girl, the owner of a bar; and since this is a furry story, let's say you're a vixen. Your best days are behind you, (they're starting to show), but you're not old by any means and you still...
Stranger Come A-Calling
Footsteps behind him; someone had slid out of the bush and was climbing flat-footed down the bank towards him. "Hey 'Kanna," Lai'iya said. She knelt beside N'Kanna, but he didn't look up from the river's edge. She put a hand on his shoulder and...
More Dangerous Than Fire
"But I was bored," N'Kanna wailed, "and you were off somewhere eating flowers!" "That's no excuse for you to... What the fuck were you doing?" Lai'iya climbed down the bank to where N'Kanna and a younger otter boy were lying nose-to-tail with...
Back Brush
"Another interview?" Smith immediately realized how insubordinate his yelp had sounded. He raised his chin and smiled. "Thank you very much, Mr. Sergeant. I'm honoured to have this opportunity!" The older wolf gave Smith a patronizing...
Otter Bait
N'Kanna dodged left after the pike, pushing hard. It was nearly as big as him and would feed four of the tribe! But he was nearing the end of his breath; soon he'd have to surface and let the fish go. He pushed himself harder and thrust his spear at...
The Scout
Cheryl sat in a tree, staring across the engine at the park on the other side of the ship. She'd have no time tomorrow for last looks at the cylinder-of-cylinders she'd called home since she was born. She'd awaken early and make her way through the...
Between Fate And Death
Lai'iya hopped down the river bank, jumped out to a stone, a log, the muddy opposite bank and ran hard along it. She didn't care for getting dirty, but her only chance right now was to get N'Kanna's attention, hoping that her otter friend and sometimes...
All The Birds That Were Singing
"Jimmy, come on, we'll be late for the party!" \Levon Starbird stuck his head into the room he shared with his brother. Jimmy Lee was buttoning the elastic of his underpants above his tail. The muscles of his slender arms flexed behind his back,...
