Skin: The Bunker, part two
Terry approached the door slowly. Hank and Ellen had said there were no scares set up, but he knew they could have easily lied about that. At any moment someone could pop out and scare him. Or maybe something was going to be sitting behind it, waiting...
Skin: The Bunker
"Alright," began the Lion, "listen up, plebes. It's Halloween. Normally that would mean sending you pledgies out in the woods all night in your underwear, but this year we're bringing back an age old tradition." Hank turned to Ellen, a Coyote. She...
This is the Part...With a City Underwater
I had made a mistake. This was all a mistake. I looked in the mirror, seeing the sad attempt I had made to salvage myself staring back at me. My stomach was in knots, and more than anything I just wanted to go back in time and stop myself from doing...
He Kissed Me Like Summer
I watched the way the lights from the fair further down the pier lit up the ends of his fur, turning him into a golden-silhouetted shadow. The sound of his voice mixed with the sound of waves rolling over the sandy beach below us. "We were just about...
Scar Tissue: Close Your Eyes and I'll Kiss You 'Cause
Clayton stood alone at the top of a small cliff, looking out over the mostly flat landscape as the sun crept slowly towards the horizon. A flock of small birds took off from the ground below and flew off into the distance, and the young Coyote felt a...
Unbalanced Love: Moonbeams and Alcohol
A kink. A fetish. That's all I thought it was. Everyone had them, some more alternative than others. Zach liked using a leash during sexual play. I was okay that. Especially since that first month had been the happiest month of my life. "Who do you...
Like a Pin through the Heart
My fingers blindly dove into the bag in my hand and grabbed a handful of the powders within. As soon as I reached it, I slammed my front door shut behind me hard, making the entire house resonate. Even as I threw down the dust into a line on the floor...
This is the Part... When the Wolf Gets Blown Down Too
Aching pain, like a giant hand gripping my side with three long fingers stretched across my torso. That's what it felt like when I woke up. I tried not to move, hoping that at any moment I would fall back asleep. The pain was not as bad as it had been...
This is the Part... Where the Bread Crumbs Lead to Strange Places
The first week was...difficult. I was grounded, though that word was never really used. I was told to come straight home after my class on Friday (I had to stay home on Thursday to let the unpleasantness pass) and to use the weekends to let the threads...
This is the Part... With the Wrong Rabbit Hole
Just look at me. You don't even have to say hi, or even smile. Just tilt your head up a little. Let me know you can see me. Please. Just one more time. Did that sound desperate? Well, I probably am. I am one of those people that dream of the whole...
This is the Part...Where the Beast is More than Just Skin Deep
_"Is your sister going to be home today?"_ I pressed send, pacing back and forth in my small bedroom, already anxious for a reply. I was still jumpy from last night's dream. More forest, more running, but it was bright, like that first time, and...
Love on Christmas
This probably had to have been one of the dumbest things he had ever decided to do. For starters, he was currently slushing his way through at least 2 feet of snow and still had at least ten more minutes of walking before he got to Ty's house. He had...
