"Hey, Gunner, look!" the young Malamute exclaimed while peering through the frosted glass window. "What now, Justin?" the significantly older tiger grunted from the couch, his head not turning from the television. "Another queer couple making out?...
Raiyev Part 15
Raiyev sat up with a jolt, cold sweat matting his fur. He panted heavily, coughing as he looked around. _Where am I?_ he thought. He was no longer strapped down on the table like he was before, but was now in what looked to be a large prison cell. The...
Raiyev Part 13
A tiny dragonfly exploring the meadow landed on the slumbering Raiyev's large nose to rest its wings. The giant raccoon's nose twitched at the tickling sensation, and he woke up gently, opening his eyes to stare up at the cloudless, pale blue sky, the...
Raiyev Part 11
The first thing that truly hit Raiyev's mind hard when he realized that Harper was really gone was how he was going to be losing one of the few people who actually might know how to help his situation. Ever since he accidentally injected himself with...
Ruined Nights: Part 4
"I think I'm a murderer," Sylvia said shakily, gulping hard. We were sitting in her bedroom on her queen-sized bed. William had gone to take a nap for the afternoon, so Sylvia and I felt safe talking for now. I was here for her, of course--I loved her....

Ruined Nights: Part 2

Ruined Nights: Part 1

Raiyev Part 10
Raiyev was a bit uneasy going back to work after lunch. He meandered slowly down the long corridor of his building before entering Lab 8. What did she have against him and his fiancée? Why did Bilicek seem to have it in for him and Brad? Or did she...
Raiyev Part 9
How long had he been standing there, idle with his thoughts? Raiyev silently cursed his foolishness. Bilicek eyed Raiyev up and down, glaring almost irately. Raiyev tried to think of something to say. "Well?" Bilicek said after another moment had...
Raiyev Part 8
"She's dead!" he cried. The tall fox was stooped over the body of Dr. Paxton lying on the ground in the cafeteria. Raiyev had seen it happen; well, most of it, anyway. He, along with the rest of the cafeteria, had looked over at Paxton when he heard...
Raiyev Part 7
Raiyev was reluctant to get up in the morning?the previous night had been wonderful beyond description?but he had wanted to get to work early, in hopes of catching Toni and talking to her before anything else happened that day. When he and Brad finally...
