Hope you enjoy~ *** The door leading to the conference room backstage nearly flew off the hinges as the young ram shoved it open. The door slammed against the wall as it flew open as the young man stormed into the room. The stage...
Traffic was bad on the way to the venue, an accident stalling things up for quite some time. Once the bus had arrived there was only about an hour to go before the show was to begin. The roadies and stage crew hit the door running in a frenzy to get things set up as quickly as they could. Tracey found herself in the dressing room after having escorted the i...
"So, if you call me a sheep again, I'm leaving you." Leo spoke the words playfully into the wolf's large white ears while rubbing at them. Tracey flicked her ears just below his chin, not bothering to raise her head from his chest, content to continue to lay against him.

~~Julias~~ "Tonight, you're going to communicate with a rat." "Delightful." Julias smirked down at his childe, and gave him a pat on the head, the sort he knew would infuriate his friend.

I made the mistake of letting my enthusiasm get the better of me and posted Chapter 01 before the story was complete. Many years ago I used to write on another amateur site where posti...
Chapter 10: Chim Chim Cheree The next morning, the three went down to breakfast. Jane had brought her copy of the hotel book down with her. "Oh Lord, isn't it a bit early in the morning for that?"

I came home late last Friday and found my house a shambles. That was the night of the big thunderstorm, and, as I slid the key into the door and turned it, my hair stood on end.
