The
badger hole 4By Strega
It
was a dusty two-lane road surrounded by a sagebrush, miles from the
nearest town, and that town itself was nothing special. There were a
hundred more like it in eastern Oregon, each with a few ranches or
farms or maybe a lake nearby. If you passed by this spot on any
other day you'd never give it a second look. It was just another few
miles of chaparral, the occasional arroyo, and maybe an isolated
ranch house once in a while.
On
this day there was something happe

Arya is Dog Food




Only a few hours remained before the Stark Family left their home in Winterfell, to King's Landing, so Eddard Stark could begin his work with King Robert Baratheon. Thus, the Warden of North, as well as his wife and 2 daughters had choice but to head south, Bran staying behind to recover from his coma. The night before the family was to leave, Arya laid on her bed, venting her anger and concern to her Di

"Hi!
You must be Ranger Rick. I'm Connie." The plump middle-aged lady
smiled from the door of her RV, where she'd appeared as Rick went by
on his campground rounds.
"Nice
to meet you, Connie." Rick glanced at the campsite tag to make
sure today's fee was paid, his whiskers twitching adorably. Maybe he
even did it on purpose. By the time he looked up the RV lady was
completely won over. Bright blue eyes, dark bandit's mask, cute
little clawed hands a

Part one: hunting for lunch



The village of Aluntaria was quite an odd one. Generally, anthrokin, humans and ferals kept to their own parts of the country and rarely interfered in each others business but here they lived side by side and worked together, pushing apart their natural instincts of predation and greed to build a small interspecies community that could sustain itself. Of course there was occasional slip ups, the food chain and

Jake soared smoothly over the sparkling ocean flashing by distantly below. He made an impressive sight, snowy white plumage contrasting with elegantly curved black wings spanning almost six feet. As a Great Black Backed Gull, he was one of the largest, most intelligent, and aggressive seabirds on the eastern seaboard, and comfortably near the top of the coastal food chain.

The

It
wasn't the first time the bear sisters went looking for, and found,
an isolated campsite in the woods. As usual, they were looking for a
meal. And unlike a lot of bears, they weren't there just for
leftovers or whatever might be in the camper's cooler. They were
there for the campers themselves. But this predatory visit to the
campsite went a little differently than previous ones.
"Oh,
very nice," Rachel whispered, because though there was a tent
