Writer's note: Arin is an andyne - andynes are bird-winged people from my other work, like Arthur Deepuin and Digitalis. Grisderms are kind of alien-lizard-looking people, and for a grisderm man to be "matronly" is considered a good/normal thing, since the male grisderms are the ones who give birth. * Arin's sparrow-colored wings twitched uneasily. She sto...
Finally, we were going to visit Australia. For years my wife and I had been planning this trip. We'd promised ourselves that one day we would go "down under." Now at last we were on our way. For Christmas my parents had given us two first-class tickets on QANTAS, the Australian airline. From Los Angels it was a 14-hour flight, so the first class seats were...
For the first while all was chaos in the tiny cell. It seemed that I might be torn limb from limb, such was the ferocity of the galley slaves as they pulled me hither and thither, eager to use me. I was entered variously. The member rammed Into my mouth made it difficult for me to breathe, whilst my two lower holes were also swiftly penetrated. However, a...
The trip back from Paris, left Therese with the first chance to understand what her freedom was. She sat in the carriage happily smiling, looking out at the countryside passing by and began to realize what Leon St. Gilbert's hanging truly meant to her.

It was a rather long flight from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, but since it was a red-eye everyone on board took it upon themselves to get some sleep. The plane landed at six in the morning and I transferred over to the terminal where the express jets congregated. All I needed now was a puddle-jumper flight to connect me south to my final destination. I was...
Wiper Fall: Rewind. Hoochie fell down planet after leaving wiper space. Still a long way out; a mere speck, against the backdrop of the gulf, taking a safe look before establishing a base of operation. Lieutenant Commander Colton Jones, HMRN Portsmouth Prime, and his panel of experts, armed with a impressive stack of heavily redacted e documents, placed the...
The line at the ship’s store wasn’t that long today. After all, it was the only place that most of the crew had to spend their money. The store was a closet sized niche directly across from the ship’s post office and sickbay. Most of the people in line were buying toiletries, stationary, and underwear. My purpose was slightly different. The big, shiny new bo...
Brynn pulled the hood on her cloak down a little further, hiding her face. She felt her shoes clicking against the street as she walked. She was hurrying, not because she had anywhere in particular she wanted to go, but because it was starting to rain. She tugged at the vest she was wearing under the cloak and cursed her luck. But, in a way, she supposed she...
Chapter 5 - Dinner I awoke, alone, to low light through the porthole, sunset on us as we sail past Carlsbad. I glance toward the door and see something stuck in the jamb above the lock. The note reads: "Sweet boy - Shower, shave - everything - then open the contents of this box and use it. Afterwards you may open the locker in the bathroom and put on the...
Melfina made her way through the Outlaw Star, heading to the galley to prepare some meals for the following week or so, in case the Kei Pirates decided to attack them once again in yet another effort to capture the XGP15A-II. As she approached the galley, however, she was surprised to hear both Gene and Suzuka having a nearly rare civil conversation, and som...
