Lonely Oak Chapter 118 - Lady-In-Training
She watched his demeanor shift a bit. The way he subtly tensed, like a light was being shone on him; his quick blinks spaced a few seconds apart. She stood, gesturing with her hand. "C'mon, up." "What... Makes you think...?" He asked, his voice...
Lonely Oak Chapter 59
Lyza broke away from her brother's hand as they neared the archery range. Lunch had just barely ended, and they were the first at the range. "Mrs. Kiminy, hey!" The ewe stood on a small ladder, which she was climbing down as the rabbit siblings...
Lonely Oak Chapter 58
The arcade. Not any place special; just an old, out-of-the-way, quant little arcade. Rini loved it. It was one of those places that was so ugly, smelled so much of moldy carpet and stuffy air, had such gaudy colors and hulky, clunky game machines,...
Lonely Oak Chapter 70

Lonely Oak Chapter 98 - Oak & Firefly
By day, Lonely Oak is a place of regulation and schedule. A bell to herd the lives of children. A meal to fill their bellies. A lesson to hone their minds. A grade to make them humble. A serendipity of tax-payed day-care, and structured education. By...
Lonely Oak Chapter 49
"No! Matthew that's a grease-fire!" The instructor's words were far too late. The children were learning how to cook meat on a bowl-grill. No one was misbehaving or playing around, everyone was very careful. In fact, some were a little too...
Lonely Oak Chapter 103 - The Queen
Humid. The storms over the weekend were the last to be expected for some time. They came, they ruined the weekend, and now they left. In their wake, the sun-baked ground began to dry, pulling the water into the air. Even indoors, there was a sort of...
Lonely Oak Chapter 67
For a few seconds, he didn't quite know what was going on. The world turned sideways before a wash of sparks and glitter. It fell over his eyes like he was having a blood-rush. The back of his skull throbbed with pain to the beat of his heart. His...
