The Moon Didn't Lie (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The cold wind filled the calm night with a mixture of rustling leaves and swaying branches as the groans of the car's engine settling into the ambient temperatures dwindled to faint creaks. The dragon clutched his arms tightly to his chest as he...
The Priest is Summoned (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The foundry was, as it was most any time of day, a place of heat and learning. The priests who worked here found a place where they could push themselves, the materials, and their faith to the limits. Priest Garmeny carefully navigated the compact...
Silence Radio (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The car rumbled along the road with only minimal tumble, the radio crooning out the calming static that can only be found deep in the night far away from home. Between the kobold and dragon half a dozen lines of dialog and question and discussion...
Quiet Awakening (Welded Sunset)
~ From the current distance, the system's star was only a somewhat brighter speck from amongst the omnipresent sky of stars and empty. Just enough of the delicate beams of light from the distant furnace danced across the approximately blue surfaces of...
Gryphon Delivers Pizza (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The gryphon leaned over a bit, to give her Geo Metro's cassette deck a frustrated whack. She was still cold from the rain, tired from the road, and stung by the eagle's words. Chilled rain makes evenings popular for delivered pizzas, and this had...
Things Eventually Break (Ferret and Badger part 3) (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The ferret woke up with a panic in her thoughts and a rough shuddering of her spacecraft. Alarms from the ship's computer kicked in as she was buckling her tool belt and tumbling down the hallway. Whatever had just broken was rapidly getting worse....
Badger seeks to fix it (Ferret and Badger part 4) (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Death glared down at the badger who's space suit had seen many better days. Various fluids were leaking from various slashes and punctures, some of which she presumed to be blood of the living. The badger glared right back up as the gryphon loomed...
Vacancies for Overseers (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The sun was embracing the horizon as Stallman was shaking the dust out from his tattered feathers on his departure from the foundry. Once he was done coughing up the day's dust and breeze, he glanced up to the sight of deep blue begining to smother...
Sleeping without the Remote (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The dragon writhed against the cushions of the couch. He was warm. He was comfortable. He was warm and comfortable and someone wanted him to buy a garden hose. Even in his half awake fog of thought, the dragon didn't take long to remember that he...
Paperwork and Curses (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The ferret stared with apathy mixed with a dash of impatience over her glasses, and sighed. "Sir, you'll need to complete that form before you can make a deposit." There were always customers, there had always been a process, and the two never seemed...
Pirate Pig (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The salt spray of the ocean made it more difficult to make out the flags that the transport ship was flying, but it was a triffling matter. She was obviously lightly loaded by the way she rode the waves, which meant she carried high density wealth,...
Sounds of Cooking (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The crisp sound of a freezer opened, the soft whump of the door closing. Subdued rustling of cardboard tearing, then shift of plastic slid across cardboard. Softly mumbled aloud reading of directions. ~ ~ Whuck-click, microwave door opens....
