Toby skidded around the corner, ducking down another alley. The bruisers didn’t look like runners, but he couldn’t take the chance of being wrong. Speed was of the essence and reaching the street would be safe. Toby did everything they demanded, turning over the money required. Why was he being pursued again? Barreling into another...

Red Maple: A Welcome Worn Thin
The day had been pleasant, but in the mountains this can change quickly. Klaus thought pressing on was worth the effort rather than stopping to prepare a campsite.

Mental Health: Where Things Stand

The depression has been unrelenting for so long that I am experiencing difficulty in identifying where it stops... Continue Reading →

The Nightmare Plague: The Walking Storm
Bilal enjoyed the warmth of the setting sun on his fur. The moment was so blissful that he was able to block out the sounds of a busy city.
