Musical Pause (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Through the dimly lit haze of the bar, the badger up on stage could see that a pair of folk off in the corner were standing rather angrily at something. She stood up from her stool, fingers not missing a beat or strum of the wooden guitar currently...
Seconds Hand (Otherwise Untitled)
~ Under a sky that blazed across its width with arcs of lightening, the deer lost his footing in one of the dashes between the trees of the forest. As he skidded through the sluiced mud and gravel, his eyes again caught sight of the lights he'd hoped...
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...
Summertime Fruit (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The dragon froze in the kitchen, arm stretched out towards the refrigerator. In the moment, he was locked between desire and self control, with neither yet the clear victor. ~ From her sprawl on the couch, the gryphon cried out with assistance....
05 Build
It was perfect. It had taken 18 months of off-hours work, piecing together whatever spare bits of metal and wire wouldn't be noticed as missing, but the build was finally complete. A robotic body, tailored just to my needs. Small, efficient, and...

A Song for the Time (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The coyote held his violin by the neck with one hand while using the other to tap his comms device awake and lean it up against the violin's case on the table. Having confirmed that it was still connected and active, he settled back down into a seat...
Ping (Otherwise Untitled)
The long forgotten beacon strained to muster another warning pulse from failing power cells, nearby debris anxious to remind passing ships of its presence with no such urgency.
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...
Garlic Beans (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The fox leaned over from the pantry and towards the apartment's main room, "We've got black, red, turtle, kidney, somehow darker red, and lentil beans. And something called a split pea." ~ After a pause the ferret leaned out of the bathroom, damp...
Battered Order (Otherwise Untitled)
~ The raccoon paused to regard the bowl of ingredients, measuring cup full of flour in hand. All that was left to the bowl to be containing pancake batter was for her to stir in the flour, though the bowl's current contents seemed be foaming violently....
