28 Ride
At the sorcerer's class reunion, a number of the alumni began to talk about their rides as most had moved on from simple broomsticks. A few went on about how the traditional broom was convenient and unassuming, but others had animated other objects for...
27 Coat
"Back in for the usual?" The beetle nodded to the question. He'd been coming here for long enough that the stylist knew just what to do. With a gesture, the beetle was encouraged to lay belly-first upon the towel-covered table, an invitation he...
Tiny Toe Toy Tiko
[Tiko](https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54191111/) perked up when there was a knock on the door. His bondmate would _never_ knock so it had to be someone special dropping by! The ki'cha--a roughly three inch tall rodent--was always happy to see new...
26 Dark
Going into the cave seemed like a bad enough idea. Turns out it was even worse than that, as you discovered the hard way that you had fewer torches than you thought and the last one burned out before you could make your way out, leaving you and your...
03 Bait
"Well, this is embarrassing." You saw the obvious trap lying on the ground, with a few silvers lying as bait. Such a simple trap, by and for simple creatures. A pity you were too busy being smug to notice the other, almost as obvious trap a few steps...
01 Ring
Construction was finally finished on the new colony ship. It was a decade in the making, a multi-trillion dollar effort funded by the world's elite. The whole ship was self sufficient, with an antimatter core that could last for millions of years, and...
04 Freeze
I sat inside, looking out at the chilly weather through the window. While some of my mammalian friends frolicked in the snow, I preferred to remain inside, sipping a hot cup of tea. I'd freeze if I went out there. Such is the challenge of being cold...
Unscheduled Renovations
A long weekend at a desert resort was exactly the vacation March needed. Going in the winter was _cheap_ compared to the peak season, too, and the dragon didn’t mind a brief chill while walking to the heated pool. The dry air had another consequence,...
Minty Miss Kringle
"Aww, having second thoughts about that festive get-up, Minty?" Kairi grinned toothily at the magpie, as if a shark was capable of any other kind of grin. "See, you're the one who decided to make a bet about who could hold their breath longer. Given...
11 Snow
Though those from northern climates are well acquainted with snow, the south is far less familiar with such weather. One particularly chilly January, the port town of Bexley experienced something they hadn't borne witness to in a generation:...
16 Wild
It was a simple enough concept: transportation by much larger creatures. Why walk yourself when you could instead hitch a ride on a Kaiju? Turns out, there are plenty of reasons why. For those upon the transport, it was quite the wild ride as they...
06 Husky
The canine walked steadily up to the microphone. Her movements were measured, as if every step tapped into a reserve of energy that had nearly been drawn dry. As the music began, she gave a heavy sigh, then she began to sing. Her voice carried the...
