I got onto the city bus. It smelled like piss and cigarettes. I sat down near the driver in a handicapped seat. I really didn’t care about it, I was tired from my shift and just wanted to go home. Less than a mile and we stopped again, I watched people come into the bus knowing there was only a […]

“So do we have a deal?” Ashley didn’t answer right away. She had hoped more than anything that this would work, but now that it had she was having a difficult time accepting the cost of the offer. “You don’t have to agree, of course, but I am busy. If this you’re turning down the offer then I will be […]

Anahi sat beside the small stream, sunning herself on a flat rock. She purred and turned over, reveling in the soft warmth that touched her spotted back. She stretched and yawned. Her long tail twitched slightly as she got comfortable again. Her spotted ears twitched as she heard a twig snapping. She smiled and sat up straightening the powder blue […]

Brunelle brushed his long black hair away from his eyes, looking through the trees and shrubs to the castle in front of him. He checked his watch.

I’d shut the drapes to block out the storm but there was no escape from the thunder that rattled the windows […]

Star smoothed her hair out self-consciously, peering in the mirror at her reflection and making a little face. Yes, Star. Her parents had named her in their last years of hippie-ness, and, fortunately for her, she really liked the name. Star was short, maybe 5’2″ or there about, she stopped measuring herself when she turned 13 and realized she’d never […]

David checked the bars one last time. He was as certain as he could be that they would hold. They had no other recourse if they didn’t. There wasn’t another human soul around for miles, of course. But there was always a chance that someone could wander this deep into the forest and happen upon the same cabin they had […]

She had been caught completely unawares as she stepped into the bathroom in her pyjamas. She has just finished ha late shower and was almost ready for bed – her toothbrush was sticking out of her mouth. She had just stepped back into the bathroom, when a hand suddenly appeared by her head. It’s five fingers clamped on the side […]
