Innocence ch. 2
Damned if I do, damned if I don't. My choice was never the issue, nor was it the option. Sometimes I wondered if the collapse of choice in society would rend it apart, or coax something far too alien for it to comprehend. There were many possible...
Soft Spot
He was running. There was only one thought that he could manage beyond his will to get to safety and stay hidden; it was him mentally remarking that he found himself running far too often in his lifetime for a healthy expectancy. Turning a corner, Rey...
Innocence
Hi. Er, hello. Uh...guess I'm not totally sure how to start here. Never considered myself a public speaker of any kind. Y'know, I get a little nervous; my stomach starts tightening, there's some shaking going on in the knees, the whole jazz. I've...
A Night to Forget Pt. 2: The Game of Life
It's strange. My depression, I mean. I don't think I totally understood it for the grand majority of my life. It just came at some point, unpacked and stuck around. Granted, yes, I've already given you a couple reasons regarding just why I'd want to...
Paying Rent
The jaguar yawned widely and dove into a gleeful stretch. Today was just as relaxed as any other. She pawed across the living room having just re-entered her house, gift in hand. Sam was overall somewhat of a false figure. She appeared proud and...
An Age Unbecoming Pt 1
Truly, life could not get much better. It all started with a simple decision. A simple decision to step up the game, to show the world what she could really do. Now everything was at her leisure. The leisure of a mind freed from pressure and...
Down a Rung
If all went according to plan, this would be a good day. The black-furred wolf, clad in only a green gown matching her sharp eyes, paced the hallway beside her room--having been woken up on abrupt call--whilst cradling the phone between neck and...
Tarrying
It was around noon, as scheduled. It seemed too easy, though--that was the problem. She'd mulled it over for some time, and by now Fiela had made a decision regarding her ostensible date. This wolfess was the last person to be played for a fool. She...
Royal Flush
You wouldn't imagine the butterflies in my stomach at this very moment. Ridiculous. It's like a couple just built a nest in there. I think I'd never been as nervous as I was right then. I mean, I guess I knew what I signed up for, and I had about a...
The Wardston Conspiracy
----The sun would likely have shone about midway through the sky and brought clarity to Dexter's vision along the floor, at least were it not for the two layers that obscured its presence; the first a cover of thick clouds, the second a ceiling of...
Every Thorn has its Rose
When a sigh is what starts the day, one usually gets a feeling of foreboding. The day's going to drag on, it's going to be boring and agonizing, and there's nothing to do to prevent it, only to trudge through it. Fortunately, this did not feel to be so...
In Medias Res
The sound of a door being knocked upon drowned out all others--it was the most prominent, if only to Rey. The constant chatter of inane conversations stories above could certainly be heard, but were far too easily ignored. Right now, the only thing...
