Serval and Sheep (Chapter 35)
_I'm going to die._ Rabbits are animals that can actually die of fright. Their small hearts can give out from stress or terror just from one bad scare. Due to their small, edible proportions, natural selection has cursed these creatures with...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 10)
A carnie should never let their guard down. Hafsa learned this the hard way before, but because she got complacent, or perhaps just because the universe decreed so, she has to learn that lesson all over again. Her reputation, and consequently her...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 28)
The end of spring break brings a twofold anguish. The obvious first is the return to the academy. Students come back to their cramped dorms, highlighter-drenched notebooks and morning classes. But the very first day post-spring break is always Species...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 31)
If you are a student at Noah's Arc Academy, that automatically makes you a friend of Hafsa's, or so goes the saying. There is not a creature alive that the serval would not welcome with open arms. This is what makes a popular girl a popular girl, after...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 34)
Desmond is surprised to see Hafsa shiver on their way to his dorm. "Are you cold?" He asks, somewhat aware of the inanity of the question. She brings her hands around her arm and strokes her patterned fur, causing it to stand on end from...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 32)
Four-leaf clovers bring good luck, or so the old superstition goes. If you just so happen to find one, that in of itself is proof of your fortune, given how rare they are. A 1 in 10,000 chance. But four leaf clovers are only rare because they're...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 39)
Hafsa and Solomon stand immobile in front of the male herbivore's dorm. Desmond and Brian had long since turned in for the night, no doubt asleep in their respective rooms. Only the two felines remain, pinned in place by the knowledge that someone had...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 37)
"Desmond!" The familiar coo of a certain rock dove stops Desmond in his tracks. He looks behind him in the direction of the voice and sure enough, he spots Brian earnestly trotting up to him (although it could be better described as an aggressive...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 23)
Desmond loves his horns more than life itself. While he may curse every aspect of his herbivorous existence, he always thanks the Ethereal Forces That Be for being born a Jacob sheep. The sheep, for as long as the animal has existed, is fodder. They...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 3)
To his surprise, the student council office is empty when Desmond walks in. The serenity of the room borders on unsettling. Just like a herbie to think that. Unable to keep still in the silence, he begins to sniff around. After all, he didn't...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 4)
Hafsa ate dinner with Solomon and Brian that evening. When she returned to her dorm, she threw it all back up. Claiming it was a pesky stomach bug to Molly, she hoped and prayed it would all leave her system. If she vomited hard enough, maybe that day...
Serval and Sheep (Chapter 9)
Desmond believes his aversion to Mondays is criminally unoriginal. But alas, he is a high school student, so it's virtually a legal obligation to mourn the death of a weekend and curse the birth of yet another week of schoolwork. But recently, he finds...
