A Paying Gig (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The wolf gazed down at the table laid out between himself and the fennec. A bowl of what looked to be baked potatoes to one side, a jar of apple butter to spread on them in the other. Several shakers of seasoning, flavors he'd want to try even...

Now Dispensing Hunger (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Having watched his only coins vanish into the void of the vending machine's endless yawn, the kobold glared with the vigor of hunger and desperation at the bag of chipto-discs. They dangled precariously from the hook, declining to fall.
Welcome Back to Cappuccinos! Part 10

Chopping to Calm (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The doe's breathing came in gasps and heaves, the handle of the axe aching into her fingers. The sun hung low towards the amber glow of horizon as evening settled into the woods around her. She glared at the gnarled stump with a smouldering rage that...
18 Misfit

The Month's Numbers (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The weather was a drab shimmer of gray skies and rain that didn't seem confident enough to do more than linger in the air as an oppressive humidity, the bear gazing out across the parking lot at the tops of the variously colored and shaped cars on...
Welcome Back to Cappuccinos! Part 14
Now Serving: That Nagging Feeling "Dad's decided he wants to meet my biological dad," Venti said. Art blinked a few times, then said "That's today? Oh, man, I'm sorry, I forgot." Now it was Venti's turn to blink. "You forgot? You usually have a...
