Raiyev Part 1
Perhaps the best way to describe it would be to say that it was otherworldly. The raccoon saw the world die around him; buildings crumpled, people were blown away in the blink of an eye, and Raiyev could only feel in a way satisfied that science was...
Ruined Nights: Part 1
28 years is a long time to be away from reality. That's how long I was out, they told me--that's how long my coma lasted. I remember waking up lying in a hospital bed, the bright white lights blinding me, my eyes hurting from lack of use. It felt so...
Ruined Nights: Part 4
"I think I'm a murderer," Sylvia said shakily, gulping hard. We were sitting in her bedroom on her queen-sized bed. William had gone to take a nap for the afternoon, so Sylvia and I felt safe talking for now. I was here for her, of course--I loved her....
Raiyev Part 11
The first thing that truly hit Raiyev's mind hard when he realized that Harper was really gone was how he was going to be losing one of the few people who actually might know how to help his situation. Ever since he accidentally injected himself with...
Ruined Nights: Part 3
I decided to try and sleep in my own bedroom, since I didn't know Sylvia well enough yet to share a bed with her. I barely slept, though, fitfully turning in my bed as the images of my accident kept replaying in my mind. I was afraid, for the most...
Ruined Nights: Part 2
"This is a good cognac," I remarked somewhat wetly as I reclined in the deep plush leather chair, one arm resting nonchalantly on the huge arm. The drawing room was massive, to say the least, fitting in nicely with the rest of the villa. I couldn't...
Raiyev Part 15
Raiyev sat up with a jolt, cold sweat matting his fur. He panted heavily, coughing as he looked around. _Where am I?_ he thought. He was no longer strapped down on the table like he was before, but was now in what looked to be a large prison cell. The...
Raiyev Part 24
"Tell me what this is about?" Raiyev asked incredulously. "What, you mean you knew all this time?" he asked firmly. "No, no, no!" Harper said quickly. "I was able to find out what the humans were doing here, like you had sent me to do, remember?" ...
Raiyev Part 13
A tiny dragonfly exploring the meadow landed on the slumbering Raiyev's large nose to rest its wings. The giant raccoon's nose twitched at the tickling sensation, and he woke up gently, opening his eyes to stare up at the cloudless, pale blue sky, the...
Raiyev Part 7
Raiyev was reluctant to get up in the morning?the previous night had been wonderful beyond description?but he had wanted to get to work early, in hopes of catching Toni and talking to her before anything else happened that day. When he and Brad finally...
InterRealm - Chapter 3
A small bell tingled as Oren and Edgar stepped into a meager truck stop diner along the road they had been taking. The sounds and smells of fried and grilled foods permeated the air, the insulated warmth of the diner almost belying the dreadful chill...
Raiyev Part 16
"I can't leave without Brad," Raiyev pleaded desperately to the diminutive Dr. Frost as she fumbled with the thin glass plate that opened one of the walls to Raiyev's cell. She stared at him a moment, a certain hasty panic in her eyes. "You have...
