" ..ohhh fuck." I muttered, flicking them as they were indeed feathers, right up out of the skin. Christopher spotted them too by this time, more confused than properly understanding the hell he was about to go through. Again. "Shit . you're going back."
"Back to what?" He almost laughed at it, before another surge of pain sent him grasping for his head, leaning over, suffering. I had to take a step back, trying and get my bearings, not expecting this.
"Cherub" I said quickly as his eyes went immediately wide, glaring at me through the discomfort while I noticed his hair looking less-hair-like, and more stiff, feat

was part of destruction
a grazed fire once stood there
burning the bittersweet memories of childhood
You'll come to find a match sometime around
and with the flicker of your lighter
you'll feel overly powerful
and start a new fire
the saltiness of the land will uproar in flames
once again causing that scene of destruction
stepping into it
you'll regret, regret, regret.

Chapter 32
Tired from a day of brain shaping and trying to do the impossible, I tried to get some sleep. While people are not actively chatting up a storm in the middle of the night, you are thinking quite a lot. So the common situation of the hour was to be nearing sleep, to be right on the verge of clocking out for the day, then Christopher would suddenly pop up, think you were dead, then shake you awake. You'd tell him you're not dead, tell him to go to sleep, then ten minutes later, repeat the whole event.
I gave up the "ILU" crusade about seven rounds in. He'd been in a somewhat consistent paralyzed state for hours by then, and I ju

Spinning in a perfect circle on my heels, I turned around in shock to see him, frozen in place much like he had been when I said the big ILU to him. Except his eyes darted around a hell of a lot more.
"I I I I don't know .I " he mumbled as my eyes went even wider, in danger of falling out of my head altogether. His hands were shaking, rattling up and down before they suddenly stopped, his petrified look easing off, as he was drifting into that obscurity and restarting, once again. He had more responses left, just a few, but spilling that out must've .eaten away his spare replies. I couldn't think.

"I implore you to awaken, m'lady" A noise; somefolk stormed into my bedroom, manners as rigid and uncaring as her tone as she drew the blinds, bathing this grand bedroom in sunshine while I struggled to find darkness to nestle into. "You're due for setup in an hour, and you find solace in sleeping in? What would your subjects think of that?" She squawked, indignant as I stowed myself away, unwilling and unable to face the birth of a new morn. I drew my coverings close.

Gasping for breath, I wound myself tight within the maze's corridors, hands grasping for a new corner before I finally reached a dead end. Their footsteps were still behind me, farther away somewhat, panic half a step below utter freak out. Given a minute or two to chew on what I'd heard, what happened and where I was, I slowly sank my claws into 'reality'. Or 'Dream-ality" Or i was acting less like a petrified, startled yutz.
I pressed my hands on the maze, figuring it like any other plant-like surface but just like the sky it was solid and whole, unable to pass through and fictionalized. My sister's voice spoke louder, rei

They'll talk and dance and sing

"Alright! Good! Now pitch your wings down a little more!" I coached, riding the feathered rocket back and forth like an arrow in the clouds . His eyes were focused on something invisible, almost snorting, honking out exhausted breaths while we tried, again and again to do it right. To break the barriers of physics, to skip through space at a lightning quick speed. I couldn't see the practical use for it now, but I wanted to give him something to be proud of, wanted to raise his spirits a little. It wasn't working very well.

Fox Genetics
The question that will be explored in this study is how the genetics of domesticated silver foxes contribute to physical characteristics and even behavioral ones. The domestication of silver foxes began several decades ago in Russia as a study into how animals such as the dog may have become who they are in the first place. The theory that fueled the project was that it may have been due to selective breeding. This will be a research project supplemented with samples of the animal from a personal collection and collection from others to have a more close-up view of the experiment and its results.

Focus Focus.. Focus! snapped a ginger blur's inner voice. Tzurai had been out and about all morning, partially staying away from Stark because his newfound giddiness scared her, and partly to just relax and think. Instead of dozing by the lake, though, as most other cats most likely would have, the Fire-warrior had decided to practice her hunting skills on the prey that she had the most trouble bringing down-- birds. Probably because she couldn't jump quite as high as taller warriors, and partially because she always managed to scare them away. Now, with a narrowed violet/blue eye on the sparrow pecking away at the ground in front of he

The dull cinnamon warrior roamed the Forest in search of a quick meal. Nobuo wasn't known to be a good hunter, nor a great fighter, but the warrior had promised to help his new clan by proving himself first.
"Sighs, what I'd do for a fire-boar," he meowed, his head lowered to his shoulders level and his long thin tail dragging on the ground.
"I looked everywhere but I can't seem to find anything interesting... There's nothing!" he snorted, kicking a pebble as he neared a scorched tree. At the sight of it, Nobuo slowed his pace and circled it in pure awe.

I wasnt that surprised to see Sonic still standing there, one hand on his hip as he raised an eyebrow, cocking his head slightly as he peered at me with those green eyes of his. I looked at him right back, silently hoping that he wouldnt inquire further on why I was taking this trip.
He would probably just think I was just being silly anyways.

We headed towards the coasts, lumbering slowly over field and pasture, through the quietest parts of the upper northwest. Strode over the vineyards and down each narrow path as Christopher followed the morning sun; we didn't fly. He didn't fly, I mean. The cherub's "Creative edits" of leaving only the smaller pair of wings from the original design, the ones at the back, or at least farther back were problematic. Namely that he couldn't fly without stumbling face first into the dirt. They also really weren't big enough to lift him anymore. I tried explaining how he could fix the design again to work it out, but he didn't s

We spent hours talking, finally close to one another. I'm not a harlot, so I keep my business to myself. But it was the first time that I actually felt alive; not just in a metaphysical sense, but in a real one. That it felt like I could breathe, felt like the world was mine to shape, like my soul was truly happy, like we both sat there like honest, flesh and blood people. I have vivid memories of our conversation, all pretty accurately tied down, inter-spliced in with quick interruptions of the same variety. Colored smoke of sorts still oozed out his spine like some sort of party favor, the ground would randomly twist and ben

My head pounded, leaning on something wet and moist as I first spotted one of those teeth, right next to my face- I figured it some sort of digested dental work. I was expecting death. Expecting some serious injuries, some wicked cool scars, just something. There definitely was a large bump on my head, but otherwise, that wasn't quite the case.
An ornate, abstract window was just above me, sunlight penetrating into this humid environment in a peculiar shaped zig zag, entire atrium bathed in a mild reddish glow. I shook my head out, gasped for air as my whole body felt achy and bruised, wanting to remain crumpled in this oddly

The sun was almost completely settled, casting its last strings of light upon the earth, bringing multicoloured hues to the sky and landscape. Cats were coming back from their patrols and hunting session, bringing little food but still something to eat. The guards were already preparing to set watch, though one of them was missing. Sylvester was still out there, not heard from the other cats, only that he had left early this morning in search of a good meal. Though it didn’t take long for the tom to resurface from the depths of the brush. He ran through the meadow, leading a young she-cat back to camp as he went. Once arriving to their

Puddle Stomping!!Rain was the best. The way it sounds on the roof at night, the way the sky turns a dull gray, the way leaves collect it and every so often just drip a bit, unable to contain anymore raindrops. The way the puddles collect and how, with proper rain boots, one can go ‘puddle-stomping’. The way that everything seems to glisten after a storm, and how nature and animals just seem to settle right after a storm, comforted knowing it was over and all was well again. Things are quiet and calm and quite peaceful. You can take long walks in the forest, its trees drippy, yet the ground is awfully dry.Puddle Stomping!!3 months ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This

I never liked silence.
It's why I leave on my TV while I sleep
Or blast music when I'm home alone.
I'll even sing a tune myself,
If it keeps out the silence.
So why is it so surprising, then,
That I've grown so overly frustrated
With your unresponsive critical hit?
I can only do so much myself---
I've reached out,
Cranked up the volume,
I've shouted and sang and cried and screamed!
But you let the silence creep in,
And now there's just... n o t h i n g.
I hate your silence.
