(Bobbie, James, and Midnight are owned by [Geneseepaws](http://geneseepaws.sofurry.com/), and used with permission.) "Sire, the new tax bill is being voted on right now," stated Simon, sticking his head into James' study, where he was playing video...
Vignette: Definition of Marriage
"Cody, please? This is a big deal," begged the lion. "You know I'll just get bored," insisted the fox. "Trust me, you won't. C'mon." The lion was standing over their favorite armchair, TV remote in hand. Cody smiled, and sat down, somewhat...
Switch Failure
(Meta Note: This is a story that is due in large part to [a silly song by Harry Chapin](http://www.lyricsdepot.com/harry-chapin/30-000-pounds-of-bananas.html). But also because I was in the mood for drama when I started it. If you don't know about...
The Hotel Room
(Meta note: Well, this story could be social suicide, but I am hoping that my socially liberal readers will go with it. All I can say is that this is a very political subject, and I will not get into an argument about it, no matter what comments are...
Factory for the World
(Meta note: the main character's technology are based on [another piece of fiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Fisher_%28Splinter_Cell%29).) **Factory for the World** Garrett took the train to arrive at Caulfield Industries like the 1,000...

Liberty and Property
(To geeks: I know I took liberties with a depiction of electricity. Enjoy the story as-is, if you can.) (To lawyers: I know I took liberties with a depiction of civil procedure. It is supposed to be a different legal system than currently...
The Last Taboo
(Meta note: this is probably the most on-the-nose thing I will ever write.) **The Last Taboo** Corey was almost falling asleep in his Human History class. He just had to resist the low and soothing voice of Dr. Harkin whose lectures sounded more like...
For the Good of All
(Meta note: The story is based on actual anthropology and [a little hypothesizing](http://fanniesroom.blogspot.com/2008/12/book-review-when-god-was-woman.html), but mainly, is a reflection of my opinions about gender and sexuality. It also contains my...
The Cube
**The Cube** Josiah's dream was penetrated by a high-pitched rapid beeping. It was enough to tell him that the office painted before his eyes was not really where he worked, but only how his mind saw it in this dream. He found his real eyes, and...
Story of the Year
(Meta note: I think this is the last of Agent K. If you are not familiar with his arc, those stories are [here](https://www.sofurry.com/view/182349), [here](https://www.sofurry.com/view/282585), and [here](https://www.sofurry.com/view/761816).) ...
