Sandy the Squirrel and Sam the Squirrel were sitting under an oak tree. Sandy was leaning her head on Sam as he fed her an acorn. Rafe the Racoon was watching them from behind a mulberry bush. His eyes were bloodshot. His heart was pounding. He rose on his hind legs to count how many acorns they had left, and winced as a searing pain flashed in his hind leg. He knelt back down. He had seen a few acorns - four, maybe five. Sandy's eyes were closed, and Sam kissed her on the forehead. Rafe sprinted at them. The pain flashed again in his h...

Chloe the Polar Bear and Monk the Polar Bear were walking on the ice by the water. They were holding hands. There were 37 bears in their grade at school, and Chloe was the first female to lose her virginity. Some of the bears were saying mean things about her. But she didn't care much. In a way, for her it was a badge of pride. She did not love Monk. And some females might say his face was a little odd. But he had a heavy snout, and most of the male bears were a little afraid of him. He was 1100 pounds. He and Chloe had done it about 50 time...

Detective Dog was reading his new case. Another dead sheep. This one in Canton, about 100 miles north. Canton, a town where no sheep lives. No doubt, it was the work of the Mutton gang.

So of course Detective Dog knew who was doing the killing, but what could he do about it? If he went to interrogate them, th...

I don't like Billy. Billy always says "thank you" to the waiter at the restaurant. After every sentence. What would you like to drink? Just a glass of water, thank you. How would you like your burger cooked? Medium rare, thank you. I think Billy should walk around in a clown suit.I don't like Alec. Alec gives big tips. He understands how hard people in the labor industry work. And he feels he needs to do his part to help them out.I like Ricky. I was walking behind him and he opened the door and just let it close in my face. He knew I was the...

Freddy the Frog was very sick. He perched on the rail of the Corniche and looked out at the dark water. Frogs are supposed to like water, but seeing that much of it always confused Freddy. He always felt it looked threatening, like a monster waiting to rise up and eat him. He would stare at it for hours, waiting for it to attack him.There were some panthers walking behind him. And some monkeys, and buffalo too, going down the pathway of the Corniche. Sometimes, when he was on a ledge like this, animals would push him from behind and into the...
The sun had not yet risen. Brian the Beaver was standing across the street from the harbor, looking at the ships. It reminded him of his filthy childhood. The things he did at that harbor! He didn’t see any punks around there now, though. Maybe they had finally cleaned it up. Or maybe it was just too early in the morning.Under the grey clouds it looked sad, just the way he liked it. For a second he thought about how in all those years he had never stopped to really look at the harbor, and appreciate how melancholy it was. But only for a seco...
