"Ridge Racer! Ridge Racer! Ridge Racer!" "Okay, okay!" the tigress chuckled, booting up the game in question while ZX investigated the bags of food she had delivered. "Mmm! Thanks!" he said brightly, digging out a bottle of soda and big bag of his...
A Bed For Life
There was no need for an alarm, for there was nothing urgent on the agenda for the day: no work, no school, no errands, nothing. Yet, despite having a leisurely day of doing whatever he fancied - including sleep - ahead of him, Ashes was keen to wake....
One Night With A Shark
Spending a Friday slumped on the couch with the TV on, displaying the latest pre-alpha of a triple-A title while she tapped away at a controller was fairly standard for Liana. Normally she would have been quite content with such a lazy day, for they...
Heart of a Wolf
Consciousness is a fickle thing: always coming and going, too slippery ever to be grasped even by the firmest of grips; sometimes, as convinced as you might be of your lucidness, you find yourself waking up from the most vivid and realistic of dreams...
The Forest
A city just like any other - barely more than a town in the eyes of most people: there were no great landmarks, no real nightlife (this place was surely a city that _did_sleep), neither the home nor the birthplace of any famous people, never a major...

_Rustle, rustle...CRRRRRRRRRRRUNCH! CRUNCH! Crunch...rustle..._ "Come on, Mika," Apollo said gently, arriving in the doorway separating the kitchen and living room, "Put the chips away so I can take you out to that fancy Italian place on the...
A Lesson in League
Let's set the scene. The room was dark, the windows covered by the industrial-strength bleach of the world of blinds (kills 99.9% of sunlight!) which made it very difficult to have any idea of the time of day or what the weather was doing beyond those...
Souple, Queen of the Galaxy
Early in the evening though it was, the ballroom was already full of the buzz of chatter. Men and women, young and old, dragons and others: people of all sorts were gathered in the vast chamber with more arriving with every passing moment; the only...
Working Hard
_Clunk. Clunk. Clunk._ Heavy boots on a metal walkway suspended on the outside of a building that seemed to extend down into endless nothingness, the groan of the bolts affixing it to the wall not bothering the lonesome worker: they had held for years,...
