Professional Curiosity

By Maxijohndoe. Rose exchanged the usual morning greetings with her colleagues as she headed to her workstation. Rose wasn’t her real name, but it had been easier to Anglicise her name rather than trying to teach English speakers her Chinese name. Rose worked as a lab technician to make enough money to see her through the many years of study and training it would take to be a pathologist, as the small amounts of money her parents could send her

A Dog Act

By SSC  (sshieldsus@yahoo.com) Our house sat on a quiet street in a small town about twenty miles north of Birmingham. At that time, our nearest neighbor is about a ten-minute walk away. Of course, now the area is filled with subdivisions and yuppies, but at that time, it was a peaceful quiet place to grow up. We had a low fence surrounding our backyard to keep the animals from tearing up the area, but not high enough to keep anyone from

A Late Finish

JenniferKline Linda, an Anthromorphic Labrador/human (a Labrahuman), sat at her desk, keyboard rattling as she typed up her latest report on the newest addition to the kennels. She’d been managing the renovation of the East Wing of the building, turning it into a breeding site for pedigree dogs. The new additions to these kennels were premium grade, the best genetics money could buy, and hopefully, they would increase their investment tenfold. Her work demeanour is professional, head high and back

The K. Lindsey Canine Shelter

andreadarling (andreadarling@outlook.com) As the sun began to descend beneath the hills outside the K. Lindsey Canine Shelter, Amber rose from her desk and stepped up to the front door, locking it for the night. She peered out the window to see if she could find her boyfriend’s car in the parking lot, but obviously he hadn’t arrived yet, so she let the blinds fall and left the window to head to the back of the lobby. Since she still had

The Alley

Trystan69 It was summer, in that awkward time between school and college. The time you feel on the brink of new beginnings, but frightened of stepping out on your own. However, for the time being, I was still at home with my parents. Of course, I had certain new found freedoms, but still forced to live within some of the rules. One of those was cleaning up after dinner and taking out the trash. Not a daunting task, as living

The Pussy Hound

wizardwriter We had just moved into a little house out in the country, with a barn bigger than the house, but also a swimming pool and two acres of land. An hour out of the city, we got a great deal because of the commute. Since I did most of my work at home it was no big deal, and my wife Annie dabbled in art, so the big barn was perfect for her studio. Last house on a country

Butch & his Boy (Gay Zoo)

By jtstreep119. Growing up in rural Alabama, I found myself alone in the woods often. I found it peaceful, walking the miles and miles of game trails is a good way to keep in shape. Back then I was a lean, scrawny nineteen-year-old, with a messy straw-blond head of hair. My mom always joked I still looked fourteen, given how short and skinny I was. Something that plagued me for a long time, as it wasn’t until I was in

Hollis Raped Me

By Michelle M. I had gotten divorced several years ago from my first love because I caught him cheating on me in my bed one afternoon when I wasn’t supposed to be home. He had a very successful business so the divorce settlement was more than adequate to let me pay cash for a beautiful home in a gated community at the end of a circle. My neighbours to the east have a boy around sixteen named Steve, Maureen is
