The Walk
A lanky grey rat would walk along the grass. His were movements slow. . . hesitant, with lightly drooped ears. He wouldn't look behind, not yet, but was certain beyond all doubt he was being watched. Watched. . . by a predator. It wasn't uncommon for a...
The Witch
Naked, early in the morning, Lichtia woke up snuggling in a furry warm embrace, It was a familiar enough sensation ever since she'd befriended the rabbit Jack, but this time something was strange. The rabbit felt leaner and more angular and . . . ....
Lament
The day was clouded. There was no rain. . . but little light. Resting out near a pond, a python could be seen. His tan form was slender, and he'd rest curled with open eyes. Snakes, creatures of a cold nature, would typically stay huddled in their...
Search
The grey rat would shake his head, sighing long. This conversation was clearly taking its toll. His ears were drooped, his head was lowered, eyes getting to be a little heavy. One by one, the white mouse before him, named and described members of his...

The Vixen 4: The Day Ends
"I'm back." The feline's words would be the first sign the rabbit would have of her return. Her barefoot step was silent, and the door to her house well oiled, and the cat habitually did everything with a silent grace. It might almost seem she appeared...
