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 found, so building a soundproofed cage in...
Ned was just starting to doze in front of the television when he heard the commotion from his garage. He'd had a long day of running around a factory floor and trying to explain the effects of gruesome eye injury to various workers who thought that protective eyewear was merely a suggestion. At the end of the day, he was frazzled. He stopped by the gym to wo...
Sorry for the wait, I had to fix some things. Thank you Professor for the help, as always you're one of a kind. In this segment the group leaves the safety of Mermaid Lake to journey towards the castle to rescue Shea. I'm pretty sure the comments at the end will get a reaction from my readers.

The silver crescent moon overhead cast pale gray light but Abigail noticed with faint alarm that the ground itself seemed to be glowing lavender, lighting her way. She shied away from the well-lit paths not just to hide her monstrous changes but also from an irrational fear of the blue arcs and nearly unbearable thrumming sound the lamps and electric poles g...
Anne hurried to her desk. The office looked half empty. She hoped that the majority of the staff was occupied in a meeting or elsewhere. Or, if she were very lucky, they would all be running late as well. Nothing had gone right. The water in her new house ran ice cold, the traffic was heavier than she'd expected, and she'd gotten lost twice trying to find he...
It was only a little while ago that you emerged from an obsidian shell and took your first real breaths. A few months, maybe. You stared with curiosity at your scaled siblings with leathery wings just as yours—some blue, some purple, some crimson red. You, on the other hand, inherited the same reddish-pink hue as your mother. Your father, an elder dragon of...
CHAPTER 1: DANGLE He pushed through the crowd of traders, his scuffed boots kicking up dust from the arid ground as he passed by market stalls selling strange, alien fruits and scrap parts. The colorful tarps that shielded the merchants from the sun surrounded him on both sides of the street, prefab buildings had been erected to form a rudimentary town whos...

I also want to state that in this world races that usually only come in a single gender will/should have either a counterpart race or have two genders (Examples: Gorgons are commonly female but in this setting there are male versions, Tengu are al...
Though not a direct sequel to my Sexual Distancing story, this does reference some of the events there. PLEASE don't leave me feedback that tells me it wasn't clear it was narrated by a dog. Let's be clear: it's narrated by a dog. No humans were harmed during the writing of this story, unless they wanted to be, and all dogs in this piece are safely over th...
