Mime Your MannersA harsh wind whipped past the fill station’s entrance, taking the autumn leaves, varying tree branches, and scattered litter along with it. Lana shuddered as the sky flickered with near constant, distant lightning. Hopefully it wouldn’t be this bad come tomorrow. Come Halloween. A small town like this one wouldn’t normally have a gas station open this far into the night, but the convenient location of a quarter mile from the interstate meant enough people stopped in that i

Food for HireA blonde woman, about 6 and a half feet tall dressed in jeans and a crop top, stood alone in the middle of an off white void. Her straw blonde hair covered where normal human ears would’ve been. Instead, two large cat ears stood atop her head as a thin tail drooped from her bottom. “Aw man!” She exclaimed as she snapped her fingers. Her ears laid low to her head. “I’m hungry for meat, but the cops are onto my night prowling, cannibalistic ways and I’m not allowed within

If Amelia had to describe herself in one word, it was bored. The young teenager sat, curled up with a good book like she did almost every day. If she was so bored reading and playing games, then why doesn’t she just go outside? Well, that’s because she’s actually not exactly a normal human. She hasn’t been for about three years now. When she was 11, she was swallowed whole by a giant Awoken that had taken refuge in the walls. Thanks to the efforts of her sister and her then babysitter, s

Her Last Mother’s DayJeanette stood over the stove top, cooking away for her own Mother’s Day meal, like she did every year. But that on its own didn’t bother her much. Just the nature of the beast more than anything. It was more that she never felt special in her own home. Not even on the few days a year she was supposed to. Her husband never cooked, her son never stepped up to help, nothing. Everything she did for them, yet they didn’t repay her, not even for one day of the year. It wa

Butt Chugging ChampsA young meek man by the name of Keith looked back and forth as he stumbled into his first house party. The loud, thronging music seemed to fill the air, weighing it down. It thundered in his chest even. Bodies danced and writhed against each other while others gathered in crowds, chattering to themselves. Booze flowed freely through the house, sending nearly everyone into a staggering stupor. And the night had only begun. “Yeah, I bet a lot of these guys pregame.” His Ama

The Last HouseA low hanging mist clouds Lynn’s vision as she careens down the dirt road. Some pop ballad blared over the radio, still failing to drown out all the bits and chunks of mud bouncing off the van’s frame. To be frank, she wasn’t sure which sound was more droning. But out in the middle of the prairie, you get what radio you can. Better this than the 5 country stations all playing the same song. The gravel roads hadn’t been even looked at in the last few days, leaving the surfac

Abigail sighs contently as she leans back into the soft, bare sole of Maria, her girlfriend. Just the thought alone sent a chill up her spine. She had never imagined being in love could be so… comfy. Not that she didn’t love her last girlfriend, or the girls she considers sisters, but this is different. There’s no fascination with her diminutive stature as if she were a doll. The custom furniture and outfits were amazing. They still are. But she felt the fascination of her size bordered on

Mime FieldThe summer sun shined down on the asphalt streets. That combined with the intense heat coming off from the vehicles that raced up and down the Florida streets sent waves of heat through the air that made Vicky’s eyes water from the sight. Shielding her eyes from the sun, she and the rest of her friends made their way down the street to the oh so inconvenient location of their car. It was naturally peak vacationing season, meaning that even small towns like this one were crowded beyon
