Uncle Rusty's Gift
Uncle Rusty's Gift My father couldn't find out what I was about to do with Uncle Rusty. To be fair, at the time I wasn't aware of what I was about to do either. Hell, I didn't even want to see him. "You sure he lives around here?" I asked my...
Admission
Here's a good one: I cry without catharsis within the white spaces of my day-- the lone car rides home, the intermittence between college classes and the open garden where life grows and grows, seemingly from dirt, water, love. How is it then...
Call Center
**Call Center** A challenge. The site lead indicated his annoyance, clattering stiff claws onto the desk, one finger after another. Pinky, ring, middle, forefinger. Pinky, ring, middle, forefinger. The lion's tight business suit must have made him a...
The Terrible Case of the Torn Swimming Trunks
**The Terrible Case of the Torn Swimming Trunks** Water everywhere, as expected. Patrons drifted on their tubes on the lazy river that circled the entire park. Swimmers filled the central pool to capacity, some diving in to a few angry whistles...
Fan Rank: One
He needed as much as he could get. "Make it eight." Silver's tail curled in anticipation, patting the car as if his very touch would increase its value. "I got bills to pay, and it still runs."_Sorta...._ Unimpressed, the bull seemed to stare him...
The New Goliath - Chapter Four
Chapter Four The elder wolf was a fish out of water in the kitchen. Probably the reason why he never cooked it. But as a boy he loved to fish. The slick and steady Bair Creek: the gathering spot for children those days, even the young women. A can of...
Shades of White - Part Two
The light burned red. Go sat quietly in the passenger seat of Tray's beat-up third generation Camaro Daniel had handed down to him after purchasing a new vehicle, the radio blurting out a hazy rock song. Go made it clear to the leopard that everything...
Fox Story
_It was the witching hour, nothing so crude as midnight of course. Anyone can be a witch at midnight under a full moon. It was past 3 am and he had been awoken by a hand on his shoulder, shaking him urgently. His eyes opened to an unfamiliar ceiling...
Shades of White - Part One
The eighteen year old leopard knew this for certain: the muscular jaguar entering the pool would be his first. Two distinct advantages gave him that sort of confidence. The jaguar was white, like ice; and his gaydar was more developed than a bear's...
The Games Boys Play - Chapter One
Thanks for reading my story. This is based on a silly game a friend used to participate in where you'd try to touch the other person in their love-spot. Whoever freaked out first lost! Critique is more than welcome! --- People take it too far...
Where's the Cook?
A dog's dick. It wasn't on my mind now, but it would be. And technically speaking, he wasn't no Fido you'd find sleeping at the foot of your bed or hunching a turd in the backyard. But close enough. Forty-five...
The Fox and the Hellhound
Pews lined the bright-lit nave of the church, row after row, all silent as a prayer. Zaine's footfalls echoed through the empty chamber which, just moments ago, was filled to the brim with worshipers singing hymns, speaking in tongue, shouting...
