It Takes A Child
Another slow July day began at 11:53 A.M., GMT offset -6, as Adam rolled out of bed with a muzzy groan. He'd been popping in and out of a lazy, prolonged dream for the past two hours and grabbed a few precious threads of it before the covers finally...
Callie
There's a reason why New Maxis, California has a certain statue in one of its immaculate parks. The best statue in the park, at that, a sensible bronze with dozens of copper adornments kept gleaming bright in any weather. There's a reason why it's a...
Maternal Leave
Eight pages. Eight individual sheets of homework are on her desk for every single student in her class, and this is without their work packets due later today. She had tried so hard so clear the backlog, but it's not all her fault- every sheet, even...
Diplomatic Immunity
Round the corner from the train station, two blocks ahead, and here he is. Quiet and inconspicuous in zoris and the shorts-and-blue-Hawaiian look so common in his hometown, the scrawny lizard hustles from mass transit and onto the little avenue he's...
Rifledrake: Bent Over, Blood-Spattered
People on the concourse moved away as she came through. All through the uncomfortable flight, she'd had her run of the aisle. The taxicabs at the airport gave her no trouble at all when she jumped the queue. Nobody even came running when she'd boarded...
Sex and Drakes and Rock 'n Roll
The sun burned hot and electric at sunrise. Somewhere calls to prayer were sounding and a thousand cheap radios blared pirated rock. A vixen hung slumped over a windowsill, fur bleeding and torn in patches, naked and staring at the landscape in dull...
Coed Tag-Team, or, Rats Have Neat Toes
The ratgirls insisted on coming in together, of course. I'd barely managed to usher the two of them in and smile apologetically at them before they couldn't resist temptation any longer. I just had to turn my back on them! I'd just locked the door...
The Elysian School of Recreational Podiatry
I had to give them credit for working fast. My fingertips were still tingling from the test massage, remembering the way the pandawoman's stockings slid across her sore feet, when they sent me in for my first shift. The Elysian School of Recreational...
Fish in a Barrel
An unspecified date, an unspecified time, an open stretch of the illimitable Pacific. Shortly before things change. An albatross examines the waters below from a comfortable altitude of fifty meters, fluctuating as it lets thermals carry it along...
Rough Justice
Okay, you want me to prove I'm not just some spineless close-lover, that I actually care about my sister? Okay, dumbass, I'll spin a tale to make you blink. It starts off with me and Alyssa going to the corner store. This was when we first moved...
Notepad 1: The Encroacher
(The following is a collection of two chapters, plus change, of a series I gave up writing from lack of feedback. Have a blast.) Prologue: The stars are right Sometimes, the reformation process went awry. It was already flawed enough,...
Book Learning
Interrupt my sex story, alright, I see where you buggers are going with this. Don't see why I have to repeat something they taught us in eighth form, sexual history, but okay...you know I damn well expect royalties from this. It all started pretty...
