Chopping to Calm (Otherwise Untitled)

Patience and Chill (Otherwise Untitled)

Fizzing Legacy (Otherwise Untitled)
~ A chilled mixture of fog and moonlight drifted across the pond and shore where the couple rested on a worn out blanket, leaning firmly against the bedroll they'd brought along for the evening's gaze into stars. The rabbit's ears perked a bit as he...
Sign Here (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The front office's ceiling was a flickering symphony of several different temperatures of white light, the lamps consisting of whatever was cheapest when their predecessors had burned out. No one in the facility paid too much heed to the appearances...
Pages of Numbers (Otherwise Untitled)

Don't Pay for Water (Otherwise Untitled)

Curiosity Tube (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The badger shuffled his way into the kitchen, pausing to stare at the empty spot where boxes of breakfast cereal would have been. With a muffled grumble, and two empty-ish cabinets later, he was carefully arranging the contents of a box of frozen...
The Month's Numbers (Otherwise Untitled)
