Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 14
14 She was afraid, so very, very afraid. Not just for herself, but for the others, too. There was a time she wouldn't have given a damn, but evidently that time was over. Mellah clutched the bear pelt to her breast and shivered, unable to shake the...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 13
13 The whole world was quickly sliding down into hell, and Danado didn't have the faintest idea of how to deal with it. Normally he wouldn't even be in a position where he felt he actually _needed_ to deal with anything. He usually just kept to...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 18
18 Walking down that hallway was the longest journey Luke ever had to make in his short lifetime. He had fetched a candle from the kitchen, but it barely did anything to keep the shadows at bay. If anything, the feeble glow only seemed to imbue them...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 16
16 "Danado! Dan, where are you!?" Lana half-screamed. She couldn't find her stupid little brother anywhere, but neither did she want to wake the whole village looking for him. Or give away her position to whoever might be lurking around in the...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 15
15 He opened his eyes, but it was still dark. Of course it was. This damn smelly doeskin was still over his head; his aching, throbbing head... And there was something else, too... a tightness around his muzzle, like rope. Panic flared up inside...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 17

Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 3
3 "He was awake, really really! I swear! He looked at me!" "I believe you, hon." The voices sounded like they were coming from underwater. No, wait... wasn't he supposed to be the one underwater? No... dammit, he was getting so sick of this. That...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 9
9 - crunching outside her tent, one pair heavy, one pair light, both of them loud enough to wake the dead. Even after they had passed by and the sound should have disappeared, she could still hear them inside her head. Maddening... infuriating... How...
Don't Fear the Reaper: Part 4
Trisha and Scarecrow stood at opposite ends of a stark white room, looking at eachother emotionlessly. Scarecrow was the first to make a move. Slowly, he began strafing to the left. Trisha noticed and held her fists out, mirroring his strafing...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 23
23 "Boys. Get in here. Close the door." Luke briefly considered making a run for it, maybe hide in the woods with Tim for a day or two like a pair of fugitives, but the short tone of Dad's voice was enough to tell him that if he intended to run off...
Ander - Part 4: Subchapter 38
38 James was dumbstruck. His tea was still sitting on the tray, still steaming away, but he had forgotten all about it. He simply could not imagine this frail old vixen, this perfectly prim and proper Fox with the folded hands, living almost her...
