The Sincerest Form

Boko's lair had been unlike anything that Klein had ever seen. They'd gone down through a trapdoor in the forest floor and climbed down a ladder into a large, open, cube-shaped room underground. Inside, there had been stairs on the floor, but also...

Saltwater

Mano had tried to have been just as optimistic about them moving from the Middle East to Brazil as she'd been about them having moved from India to the Middle East in the first place. Cephalopods were relentlessly curious creatures, always exploring...

Promised Land

Eli's parents had disowned her for having moved away to the Middle East with Mano, but Eli hadn't cared. If anything, she'd been only too glad to cut them out of her life as well. Mano missed her parents sometimes, but children grew up, pursued love...

Feeding the Clothes

Klein had been a weird kid. He didn't have a 'type A personality,' whatever that was. He was never going to be an 'alpha male.' He didn't enjoy team sports. He wasn't a team player. He was the strange, weird kid who would sit in the corner trying not...

Eli had always had body issues because of her shitty upbringing. Half sea turtle, half hermit crab, she suffered from the intersecting stigmas of fish, reptiles and hybrids alike. She needed to breathe but also to stay moist to be able to stay alive,...

With The Flow

_'I hate this.'_ Afternoon. Cold skyscrapers hid the setting sun with their straight lines and right angles. Mano missed the reassuring ocean depths around her, the protective cocoon of her sub. The bus station was a river, the swarming masses,...

Saved

'Who survived, anyone new, anyone else but you?' (Porter Robinson, Sad Machine) It was on their way back to Rakim's place on that night that they first heard the alarm. "Oh shit!" As their brisk walk turned into a frantic run, they got near...

Spheres of Influence

The whole country was in shock. The world reeled. How could this have happened? "Mandrake, are you awake?" The otter awoke to pick up his phone groggily. "I am now, what's going on, Klein?" At this hour it had better have been important. "It's Mano....

Lemmings

Rakim had flown to Ogun's for their gaming night this time - in the wake of what had happened, they'd become afraid to walk outside. "All right... Let's see, let's see, what do we have here..." The chimera sifted through his games absent-mindedly,...

Gaslight

Her breathing grew heavy. They had chased the rat into a corner. Mnemos had just fallen down a hole that RNG had opened up under her like a trapdoor. Bringing out her great big pigeon wings to slow her fall, she retracted them after having reached...

For Sore Eyes

Rakim had met Dana after he'd already gone out with Ogun, Soma, and Scylla. He'd still been pre-op at the time. Fortunately, they hadn't had any hang-ups about it. They were an... equal opportunity employer, as far as such matters were concerned....

Only In Dreams

Eli rolled off Mano, lying back in bed to grab and light a cigarette from the nightstand. "That was good," she said simply, drawing in and blowing out smoke as she spoke. The poet had always had a minimalistic streak to her. "I hope you liked that."...
