Flight
Riley was resting cross-legged on the uncomfortable airport chair, nervously sipping his orange juice through a straw. His treacherous eyes darted around quicker than he may have liked. He hadn't quite realised until now just how worried he was about...
Problem Solving
Wind is decidedly the cruellest kind of weather. A cold wind bites into you like no other; it strips away your layers and kills you. At least that was Llewellyn Chavez's personal opinion. In the heat, one could strip down to the fur, drink cold drinks,...
Outsiders
Lars lay on the floor of his dorm, staring at the ceiling. Looking endlessly at the blank, horrid off-white paint he had always despised. The room seemed to spin a little, and the young Tiger allowed himself to get lost in his own thoughts. He...
Sunnyside Up
Brady wandered into Oliver's kitchen in his underwear, sleepily rubbing his eyes and looking at the lab, who was currently in the process of pouring orange juice. "Morning there." Said the dog, eyeing up the tired wolf. Looking at the clock on the...
Epilogue
Lars and Riley waved back to Llewellyn and Lola, walking with their paws linked, from the couple's home. The night was chilly, but not unbearable. They'd been invited over for dinner, and Lola and Lars had gotten on together fantastically. Everything...
House Mutt
**Twelve: House Mutt** "Get up, lazy mutt." Bailey yelped as the sharp end of a broom was jabbed into his stomach, violently waking him. He scurried away on his ass until his back hit the wall, and he was forced to look up. A hornless Akkedisian...
Blood and Dirt and Bone
**Eleven: Blood and Dirt and Bone** _Die young, save yourself._ Resh thought, handing Misha a piece of bread. The mutt took it but did not eat, his eyes lost in some other place. _Nothing ever stays the same...I know. I always take the...
If They Ever Learn the Truth
**Thirteen: If They Ever Learn the Truth** Oderan was sitting on the side of his bed when the knock came at the door. He'd had a nightmare of some kind, already forgotten in the haze of morning. He ran a claw over his head, tracing it along one of...
Leviathan 01: Name of the Game
**01: Name of the Game** There is no perfect way to tell someone you love them. Especially if they aren't expecting it. Nico's telling himself it's the message that matters most, that it's the person behind it and not the packaging it comes in. He's...
Leviathan 03: The Professional Difference
**03: The Professional Difference** "Kal, for once, don't be a cunt." The short, barking laugh of an insufferably smug border collie is all that comes back through the phone. Vick rolls her neck, pacing back and forth along the wharf. Most people...
Leviathan 12: Speak Your Word
**12: Speak Your Word** Air that's taut like a noose, breaths held in unison, questioning eyes. The crowd's fingers rest on Nico's trigger. They came for Ahab but they got him instead, they're happy enough that way, what they _really_ want is...
Leviathan 09: Gospel in Chrome
**09: Gospel in Chrome** "Do you smoke?" Nico hesitates, then leans across the table and accepts the cigarette with two fingers, the way they do in the movies. He's surprised it's the real thing, greenhouse tobacco rolled in crisp paper - a luxury....
