A Strange Drug
A gust of wind howled through the rustling leaves as the two wolves approached the modest brick house. It was a town-home, one of the many that lined the boulevard--squashed together as if the developer had been trying to fit as many in a single row as...
Alchemist's Letter #1
Dearest Falutrav, It has been some time since our last correspondence, my friend. I hope all is well and that business is good for you. With the unseasonable weather we have been having here I am afraid to say that my supply has been outstripped by...
Addiction Therapy: Second Session
"Good morning, doctor!" Dr. Gyle gave Mary a weary smile as he made his way through the lounge and up to the reception desk, the door slowly closing behind the tired lion. The calico was her usual chipper self. He didn't know how she did it. He...

Addiction Therapy: First Session
"Dr. Gyle, your 2:30 is here." The words were tinny-sounding and hollow, as if spoken in some alien interrogation room, and looking up from the case file he had been rifling through, the middle-aged white lion gave the intercom device that sat on his...

Window Shopping
The moonlight gently cascaded over the soft cheek-fur of the sleeping fox, filtering in from the open window to highlight the white and orange with hues of bluish-silver. The breathing was soft and shallow, interspersed with occasional deep and languid...
Addiction Therapy: Third Session
The room was large, dark, and foreboding. The carpet, soft to the touch, ran a deep crimson except for the narrow aisle that stretched up between the pews, reaching towards the altar at the far end. The doctor found himself to be naked except for his...
Echtra Faolchú: Crisp's Story
Crisp cursed under his breath as the car slowly rolled to a stop on the side of the road, the sound of crunching wet gravel barely audible over the din of the pouring rain. The needle had been pointing at 'E' for what seemed like an eternity but the...
The BBQ
Theodore stepped out into the hot afternoon air, squinting and raising a paw to shield himself from the assault of the midday sun. Summertime was always a welcome break from school but the heat could become unbearable at times for the 18 year old...

The gray wolf inhaled the cool, autumn air deeply as he watched a few leaves tumble down the opposite side of the street. Aside from the occasional pedestrian the streets were fairly vacant, lit with a strange orange glow that only street-lamps seem to...
