Track and Field: Part 23 - I Will Wait
Sasha This chick... "Kelly? How do you know us again?" I asked, trying to keep pace with the ermine. "Lee," she simply said. "How do you know Lee?" "Ren-Fair." "Ren-what?" I heard Red panting. I kept forgetting he couldn't keep up with us. I'd...
Track and Field: Part 19 - It's Time
Sasha The clock in my car's dash read 4:30 pm; my _phone_ read 4:30 pm; if I could've calculated time via the sun's location in the sky I probably would've gotten 4:30 pm there too. Why is it then, that when we agree to meet someone somewhere the...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 2
Red "Thanks, Cap," Aaron sighed as I handed him back his head. He drummed his fingers awkwardly along the cardboard as I stood smirking at him. "I know, dude. Don't rub it in." I threw up my paws defensively. "No, no - I didn't say anything." He...
New Generation of Heroes: Chapter 1 - "It Comes Soon"
1 Rhykard Dean, sitting Indian-style on his well-made dorm room bed, cleared his throat out of awkwardness as his shirtless roommate dropped his cargo shorts and snapped the elastic band of his new, Atlas the Superdog underwear with glee. The toned,...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 1
13 "Ouch, Claire!" "Will you quit whining, you undead baby!" my sister said snarkily while dabbing around my bruised eye with powder makeup. "You're only making it worse." I grunted as each pat of that infernal powder-puff sent pain coursing into my...
Track and Field: Part 24 - Fix You
Arthur _"Papa?"_ _"........."_ _"Papaaaaaa?"_ _"................."_ _I feel his little paws atop my chest, the warmth of his tiny fingers blooming on the spot right over my heart as he shakes me; his sharp claws yank on my fur and pinch the...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 4
Sasha _Oh, God, where did they go!? What the hell have I done!? What's going to happen!?_ "RED!? LEE!?" I bellowed, their names seeming to scrape my throat as I yelled with such force. "WHERE ARE YOU!?" This wasn't good. My worst nightmare had...
Track and Field: Part 11 - Lee
Lee "One, two, three, one, two, three..." _Clang, clang-clang, Clang, clang-clang..._ Left, right-left, right, left-right... "Good," my uncle barked, his sword still humming through the air and striking with mine on precise rhythm. The blows...
Strangers After All: Part III
Eventually I ran out of energy and tears, although I was still hiccuping tiny sobs every few minutes. It felt like every ounce of fluid within my body had been squeezed out of my eyes. I could hardly stand to keep them open, feeling as though they'd...
Strangers After All: Part II
Deacon and I didn't really speak much as we made our way to this Italian place he was so keen for. In all honesty we wouldn't have been able to if we had wanted. The crowd was so thick on the sidewalk that we pretty much had to slice our own way...
Strangers After All: Part X
After we had all collected ourselves as best we could we put on some decent clothes and got ready to leave. Tabitha had gone to get her car, and, for someone who lives in Charleston on occasion, you'd think she'd be used to having to park a mile away...
Track and Field: The Haunt - Part 3
Conall _What the hell?_ I thought as in awe I watched Lee traipse quickly off stage. That song - good God - I wish he would've told me about it sooner. I'd never seen that side of Lee: bare, open, passionate...in turmoil. He'd left the audience...
