A day in the life of a footstool
Ristin awoke, as he usually did these days, on the hard stone floor. The room had a bed, but it was not for him to use - furniture was never for the prisoners to use. Even if he wanted to rebel and use it, he wouldn't be able to pull himself up onto...
Orc Processing
The orc struggled futilely against his bondage, his rage burning through his naked body as walk forwards into a new room. He could smell the reek of kobolds, as well as strange grease and smokey scents. The familiar smell of iron wafted through his...
Product Testing
The lizard trembled, eyes wide with fear as tears ran down his face, trembling under the long barrel of the hunting rifle pressed against his forehead. His arms were tied behind his back and his legs were bound securely to the sturdy tree behind his...
By the sword
The human fled, his blood-stained robe flapping around him. His lungs ached from the exertion. The battle had not gone well. Despite their superior numbers, his allies had been felled by each swing of the small group of mercenaries. Using the last of...
A fatal fix
A fatal fix Ivan walked down the empty metal walk-way - passing the line of open cells as he went towards the fellow inmate he had been directed to. As he turned into the cell and stood at the doorway, the occupant - an alligator - turned to...
Prison Escape
**Prison escape** --- Ivan paced in his solitary confinement cell, his mind racing as he prepared for the long day. His years in prison had been tough, but nothing the powerful trucker could not handle. The endless stream of rape and murder...

The lizard warrior came back to consciousness, still tied securely to the heavy wooden chair. His wrists and ankles were scabbed with blood from the previous day's struggling against his bondage - or was it more than a day at this point? The dark cell...
A final gift
I awoke to the sound of wheezing, the panted breathing of my pet causing me concern as the elderly rabbit desperately suppressed another coughing fit. "It's okay, pet" I said, uncoiling my long body and tail from the warm fur-covered lupine. "You...
Park Side Horse Ride
Park side horse ride Mike brought his steed around by the side of the brook, deciding to take a break from his patrol route. He had been riding around the forest searching for poachers or hunters without permits. It was part of his volunteer work...
The pig
The pig had no name. No identity. No individuality. It just _was_. It worked, or it was punished. It ate, or it was punished. It did not talk. It did not squeal. It did not resist. The pig had nothing to look forward to. No hope of freedom. No rest,...
First time
**First Time** I still remember the first time I executed a fellow dragon. It's not something that is easy to forget. And it is not something everyone can do. A little over 8 years ago, I was serving in the military, fighting back the GDA that had...
