“It was the other driver’s fault. The grave-ready grandma was blind or something that they didn’t see me. It is not my fault that they couldn’t see me.”“Luke…”“It is true. Did you see her? She makes the pope look youthful! She shouldn’t be allowed to drive!”“Luke!” his mom shouted. The older retriever had an unusually stern look on her face as she looked at her son.“The police report says that you drove through a red light and almost sent the poor lady to the hospital

The black screen turned to life. A brown cartoon dog started to chase its tail in a perfect loop on the white background, while a countdown blinked at the top of the screen. 2:59, 2:58, 2:57… The chat was already waking up, with the first viewers sending their “hello”s and excited reactions. Tens to hundreds, the viewer count rose as the countdown went down.3, 2, 1…“Hello, there, my activists! It is me, Taylor, your friendly neighborhood dog shelter keeper!”Taylor was just as energet

The sun had set on Earth 1610. The stars tried to appear in the sky above the city that never sleeps, but to no avail. Brooklyn’s highrises had the single right to illuminating the night- Their million windows creating a mosaic of yellow, blue and dark that seemed to reach forever.It wasn’t the city and the sky Gwen had grown under, but the resemblance was great. Still, in her eyes, it seemed wrong. A bit too small, a bit too dull, a bit too lacking in color. It wasn’t home.It was what she

Gabriel sighed and looked out of the window. Fields, fields and a bit more of fields, nothing to see as far as he could see. He still couldn’t understand why his parents had decided to move here. Here, in the middle of nowhere, of all the possible places. Far away were his friends, favorite game shops and restaurants now. There were just two small restaurants and a grocery store in his new home town, if you could even count the bar-restaurant as a restaurant. He didn’t even know where the cl

“Is it recording?”“There is a red light.”“Where? Oh?”The camera zoomed all around, making everything a blurry green, white and blue mess. “I think it is recording.” a woman’s voice said, the camera pointing to a few nondescript bushes besides a white fence.The camera turned around, this time revealing a woman’s face. The girl didn’t seem too old, around her early twenties. A wide excited grin was painted on her face, that was surrounded from both sides by her long and a bit

"Hey, stop right there!"Julia knew the drill. It was time to run. The small plastic bag in her hand started to swing all around as she ran out of the grocery store doors. The stolen candies wouldn't mind some rough handling, but the beers would get pretty fizzy when opened. Those had to be good enough for Mark and Linda, she thought. Those coward fuckers had asked her to be the one to steal today's picnic stuff, so they couldn't complain. And if they did, it just meant no beer for them..."Guards

The taste exploded in her mouth. So full, with the delicate flavors of femininity, fear and humiliation mixed together. She didn't care about the studies about the effect of the mood of the prey on the meat. She knew what she tasted, and no man or woman in a white suit would change her mind. The slight hint of sweetness in the meat was the cherry on the cake. It was the personal taste of the girl. The taste of Alex. What a lovely use for the girl, Mrs. Cherlou thought to herself as she ate her d

I can't believe I'm doing this, Olivia thought to herself. She checked the contract in her hands and compared it to the number in the mailbox. This had to be the house, she thought, looking at the normal looking white suburban house. A nice car in the parkway, big lawn, clean house, it was as average as the suburban houses came.Still she couldn't keep her heartbeat down. Olivia reached to the pocket of her uniform and took the small mirror included in her set. She wanted to make sure no small er

The quietness of the Jones' family was odd, almost eerie in nature. Though the quiet chattering and anxious movement of the tens of the kids of the family was on most scales nothing near quiet, for Jones' it was exceptional. The fox kids, ages ranging from 20 to a mere baby, waited stressed and impatient as their parents read though the pile of papers in front of them. The younger kids were less concerned than the older ones, mostly just impatient to get back into playing. However the teen foxes

Ellie took a deep breath. The usually mundane and boring neighborhood street felt much more interesting than usually when she walked to school. Had that house's paint always been so bright red or had the owners just painted it? Had there always been a shed next to that other house? She felt like she could notice details that she had never seen before. Things that she usually just ignored while stressing about her homework answers or exams. But this walk was different. Was it because it could be

"Oh no, not again!" Lilly heard her mother's voice from the living room. Not much got through the girl's headphones, but her mother's curses somehow managed to sneak through. "Lilly! Come here!" the mother shouted. The girl sighed and put her headphones down. She pulled the door of her room open with typical teenager anger, leaving behind the room with walls covered by posters of her favorite bands and her bed filled with plushies."What is it mom?" Lilly asked as she got to the living room. She

The sun shined on the terrace of the coffee shop as Rainbow Dash sipped on her iced tea. The spring was finally over and the summer warmth felt nice on the anthro pony's blue fur. However the pony seemed restless. She tapped her foot to the ground impatient as she looked around. Fluttershy had told her to meet there at noon. However it was already five minutes past the time! The clopping of her foot against the bricks of the terrace sped up and slowed down as the pony tried to peek over corners

"Do you have anything to say?" Mrs. Cherlou asked. The teacher with straight blonde hair that was tied to a ponytail had a serious face and her arms were crossed in front of her.Alex knew what it was, it couldn't be anything else. The teacher knew that she had cheated in the poem analysis. She had to know. Why else she would had asked for her and Amy to stay? Amy was the one she had copied the poem analysis from just before the class... But getting caught of cheating in Mrs. Cherlou's class? The

"You look stressed today. Is everything okay?" Ethan asked, looking at his dad."What, me?" the father asked. He gave a short peek to his son, his grey wolf eyes darting to him, before returning to the road ahead. Even after twenty years, the sharp dart made Ethan shiver. "Nothing for you to worry about." Robert said and gave his son a grin, revealing the row of sharp teeth. When he had been young, it had been hard for Ethan to look at his father while he smiled. Only in his teens he had grown co

"No, you silly. Dogs can't live as vegans! They are domesticated wolves! Wolves! They are carnivores." Aurora said before stopping a moment to take a breath. Arguing while biking uphill was too much for even the athletic girl.




"I read it on the internet." Emma argued back. There was nothing more annoying than being right and knowing it, but getting argued back. "This lady fed her dogs only meat-substitut

The sun, lazily
rolling over the blue sky, warming the world below with it's bright
rays of light. Only few small and lonely clouds did try to restrict
the bath of summer light that the city was covered in. It was warm,
it was sunny, it was all ways nice. Why it always had to be those
days when things go so wrong. Why can't that happen in cold winter
days? The days when thunderclouds hide the happiness under their dark
blanket? No, it was those warm summer days when the worst things
happened.
