A Multitude of Stars... Chapter 5
I stared at the five playing cards in my hand, glancing at the panther and tabby cat across the table from me. My canine nose twitched as Airman Richards, the tabby, upped the anti with a handful of bills. My eyes dropped back to...
Meridian Prime Draft 2: Chapter 2
The inside of the club was filled with animalized humans of every type, though there were a majority of canines. I guessed that figured. I had never actually been inside the club before and it was a lot nicer looking inside than I had expected. Instead...
Eternal Blue 11: Divine Intervention
Quint woke up in his bed; unable to move. His crew had strapped him to the mattress and braced his neck with makeshift bandages and what felt like spare pieces of wood. Tireal was across the hall from him; sleeping. The hyena sighed and closed his...

Eternal Blue 5: A Complicated, Simple Choice
Quint's ears pounded with the sound of his running feet on the solid floor. His heart raced in his chest. The rifle bounced into his back insistently as he ran on; gripping the cold metal of the pistol tightly in his hand. "Please be alright...
Eternal Blue 4: Alone Again
Tireal awoke slowly; his arms limp and stinging from loss of circulation. He cursed to himself and rose to his feet; shaking his arms to get blood moving through them again. He looked around him after his arms stopped tingling. This wasn't the hospital...
Eternal Blue 3: Immortal Memories
Quint cried out in agony at the blackness around him. All he felt was pain; an indescribable pain that seemed to penetrate every muscle and nerve in his body. Why did he feel this way? He couldn't remember anything that had happened before he was...
