Scilius sat against the school wall, next to Maryan, each one of them holding a notebook and pencil in their laps. One hour and two sets of mathematics packets later had left them task-less. Scilius tapped his foot and waved his tail. His mind...

A Sure Thing

4 : Obscured

Scilius nearly waddled his way to school. Elliot had been invading his mind, through the entire night without remorse. Every time he closed his eyes he saw his companion in some form or another, either flashing a smile, brandishing himself in his...

Scilius scratched at the scales on his arm, where the skin was finally starting to peal of cleanly. He was almost ready to shed his old skin completely. He would no longer have to deal with the constant assault of teasing classmates. He'd be able to...

1 : Obscured

Scilius was enjoying himself in the shower, letting hot water run down his scales. The small remains of his waxy shedding skin started drifting off as he scrubbed his scales. His eyes, arms, legs, and even crotch were now, finally, covered not in dead...

2 : BlindSighted

Scilius hated waking up in the morning. He turned over to silence some incessant beeps that were radiating from his alarm clock. For a second a thought bounced in his mind, _what day is it?_ As he sobered from his sleep he had been able to answer that...

3 : BlindSighted

Scilius woke up again, but this time, a thousand times less reluctant. He eagerly threw his clothing on, and, although he couldn't see for sure, tried to make sure that he looked sharp. He threw his backpack on his shoulder and hugged his mom before...
