Werehog Story 16Instead of feeling better at the chance of holding back his transformation, Sonic was feeling worse. The fact that he was losing his normal blue body to the beast form didn't bother him like it had before.

Sonic was afraid...

Afraid that the emeralds won't be able to help him....

Afraid a cure would never be found.....

He was most afraid of losing his mind.....that he'd kill the others as he had the poor rabbit. That animal just had the bad luck of being taken from it's home and brought to the habitat only to be torn apart...so viciously.....

It was tiring but he couldn't get the these thoughts out of his head...The more he tried to hold

Each to Each - Part 2Dive deeply into a drop of water, and
a hundred oceans will flood you
Look into a mote of dust, and
a million nameless beings will jump out
A hundred harvests rest in a germ of barley seed, and
in the right light, an insect’s wing reflects the sea.
Why be surprised?
Deep in the pupil of my eye lie cosmic rays,
and the center of my heart
beats with the pulse of the cosmos.

Sensation poured like a torrent into Maria's mind as she awoke. The impulses were alien, unfamiliar; pressure pushed in on her skin, slowly mounting as she moved... downward? Deeper? Ribbons of hot and cold crossed her vision, weaving and twisting around another, registering as colors she had no name for, no concept of. Cold liquid poured in and out of her throat, the tissues separating the currents of the ocean from her blood oxygenating one fluid with the help of the other. Her skin, her muscles, her bones were unfamiliar; she wanted to pull away from them, slip out of them. It was

Ides of March - Chapter 19

Picking a name...

It was hard. And it took time. Whoever he'd pick would die. For him.

Too many names had piled up by now. An hour after Zim and him had finished breakfast and moved over to the main computer room, where the alien was reviewing his choices for the 'fireworks' he was obviously quite excited about, Dib sat slumped in his own chair.

The excitement the smaller male showed, he simply couldn't share.

Leaning his head back against the pink cushions, Dib again listed the names in his head.

So many that had added to the misery in his life. So many that had made his life a living hell. There had been bullies who had beat him up mor

I woke feeling about the same as I always did. Wrapping up in the covers had left me sweaty in a way which soon dried in the morning coolness of the room. I had to stretch a bit to get the aches out. Turning, I looked at the device and the controller. They were in the same place on the table.

I held both in my hands. What was the worse that could happen? The delay got longer? There were still fail-safes. It wasn’t as though I would suddenly turn into an anime girl. And, despite the glitches, the faint watermark had still been there.

Debating it a while, I heard the far-off sounds of Allis

Abigail and the Rats of NIMH - Chapter 26

Penny breathed a heavy sigh as she parked her car at the staff parking spot at NIMH, taking the key out of the transmission and gripping the steering wheel. She wore her lab coat and her usual uniform but her hair was unkempt, and she’d neglected to wear her makeup. She felt as if those things didn’t matter much anymore.

Somehow, she worked up the willpower to open the door and step out of the vehicle, closing the door behind her. She couldn’t name a time in her life where she’d been filled with more dread. But she knew just what she was going to do when she got in. Penny walked up to the entrance of the building, a

Ante Up Chapter 37: BioticsAfter a short time, Jack relocated herself to the Med Bay, deciding to give Shepard and Garrus some privacy in their own cabin while they made the home stretch to the Citadel. Predictably, the Grissom students bombarded the Bay, crowding her cot and worrying over her.

"You okay, ma'am?"

"Did you blow up the Cerberus base? I bet you did!"

"Are you feeling any better? Need anything?"

"Whoa, your ports are really gone? Does that hurt?"

Jack finally flopped back on the cot, covering her eyes with her arm. "Guys, seriously, chill out. I'm fine, we were too busy hauling ass out of the base to blow it up, and yes, my head is killing me. And thi

Danny stared out the window of the airplane he was in. He was an environmental activist and was on his way to the icy region of Serarc to investigate recent drops in temperature.

The plane landed. Danny emerged in a thick coat, gloves, boots, a scarf, and a ski cap. He looked over the horizon. Ice and snow as far as the eye could see. He hopped on a snowmobile and went to the edge of the ice and ocean.

There were several Seel, Dewgong, Spheal, Sealeo, and Walrein. Danny patted one on the head as he took samples of the coastline's water. He would have them tested for pollutants. On the way back, he noticed a buildin

Unworthy {12}Loki looked down at his hands, which were starting to turn blue and gnarly. He reeled in disgust at what they looked like, and he turned away from the mildly disturbing spectacle.

He looked at them again, despite how weird they looked. He knew they were disturbing, but it wasn’t disturbing enough not to look at again.

He was a blueberry.

He literally laughed out loud at the bizarre thought in his mind. He just called himself a blueberry... he must not have any sanity left.

What could staple him down? He’d never thought about it, but sitting around doing nothing for any amount of time was driving him literally mad.

He sighed l

Dib walked in with a heavy breath, yelling out, “I’m home!”
He left his laptop case on the kitchen counter just next to the front door – loosening his red and black tie – as he began moving towards their bedroom, “You awake, Zim?”
He walked in, Zim sitting on their bed with a ghost-like look upon his face, much to Dib’s surprise, “Oh, hello.”
Zim looked up at him pathetically, wearing his purple oversized jersey that he only wore in winter. Autumn had introduced a chill into the air, but not yet cold enough for that sort of jersey to be worn. Dib came and sat next to him, throwing hi

"Wake up."
Kleiner 00 snapped from his seemingly comatose state, thrashing about like a rabid animal. The energy quickly left him, however, and he sat where he was restrained.
We had nailed him* by his wrists to the chair he had tortured me in. The chair itself had been positioned in front of the window, which Tifa had taken the time to smash out completely. A security camera on the ceiling had been forced around to face the chair and its brutalized occupant, and the light on its side indicated that it was still functioning.
I stood just out of its field of view, cradling a canister of helitank** fuel. Opposite me waited Tifa, Jack, and Skall.
Slowly, almost theatrically, I approached 00. Sliding the canister open, I looked up into the camera and began to speak.
"I don't think I need to introduce myself. After all, you personally ordered and watched my execution. And I'm not going to tell you how I'm standing here after taking a fucking shotgun blast to the face.

Dana’s reflection made it look like she was experiencing some sort of allergic reaction. Her petite nose had grown wider, and the skin around her nostrils had turned dark, almost looking black. Her upper lip also looked a bit swollen, and it was upturned slightly in the center.
“Oh, god,” she shouted, touching her lip and nose, “What the hell happened?!” She noticed that the area around her nostrils had a different texture than the rest of her skin. It almost felt like it was covered in short, stiff hairs. And then, she realized exactly what had caused this. She went into a dr

“Soooo. Boreddd.” Yawned Ben as he leaned over the railing. They were summoned to Undertown for a disturbance call, but while he was expecting some super-mega-ultra butt-kicking action, all he found were just some punk, alien crabs stealing shiny metal from one of the concession stands. He kicked a rock into the water down below and watched the ripples flow atop the green surface.
“The last of the metal was returned and the crabs have been scolded and relocated,” reported Rook, his long legs striding towards his partner. He saw Ben pick at the rusted railing with his finger and lo

Unworthy {11}Loki knew it had to end sometime.

Good times never last forever.

The cloudy weather and the rain had let up as he talked with Fyr for that week. The Asgardian suns shone brightly in the sky, tingeing everything a warm gold, and the warm wind had blown through his cell, bringing with it the smells of rosemary and the clean air. But now that that small ray of sunshine had left, the rain came down again. According to his calculations and rude stone calendar, it was about mid-November, and the winter solstice was coming soon. It had been about a month since that enjoyable week.

He sat, miserable and grimy, in his jail cell as he thought about

SHEATHES-10 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS- Q001: If Monarchs only exist within their Kingdoms, and their Subjects are essentially them, does that mean their Subjects cannot exist outside the parameters of SHEATHES-10?

- A001: That's precisely what it means. This is why Manifestations of Boss 'Patrons' are so commonplace in SHEATHES below the 'Number' 10,000. In fact, they're an everyday sight in SHEATHES below the 'Number' 3500. The Monarchs of SHEATHES-10 have no problem with churning out, or managing, or dismissing their Subjects within the Yggdrasil Galactic Triumvirate or in their STABS Colonies, but to create them anywhere at will is something they cannot ever do.

All Todays Concept 1A female giraffe stands on the banks of a river bending her lengthy neck down to drink from it. As a scent fills her nostrils, she lifts her head and sees a male giraffe approaching from up the river. With each slow, deliberate step the flag of brightly coloured skin dangling from his neck jiggles. He bellows, announcing his intentions to mate. She leaves her drinking, interested in his intentions. When they are parallel the male bends his neck back so his nose almost touches his back and erects the flag of skin.

She walks around him, carefully looking for desirable traits and even more carefully for undesirable faults. After wandering aroun

Sub-family: Excavatorynchinae.
The excavatorynchids, or Shovelbills as they're commonly know, are a more terrestrial sub-family of ornithorhynchidae and are characterised by their triangular, shovel shaped bills which they use to root around in the leaf litter or whatever is covering the ground in their habitat for invertebrates, amphibians and reptiles.

Another idea for the Allocene.

~Asanbonsam Apr 2, 2012

Would Papua New Guinea even still exist in the Allocene? I was under the impression that most modern day islands would be immerged in water.

~Leggurm Apr 2, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Ask electreel.

~Asanbonsam Apr 3, 2012

There is one thing I forgot to ask:
1) How are the leg positions of these mammals?
2) Avimustelids, are they only terrestrial or also aquatic and arboreal?

~Leggurm Apr 3, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

1)Erect.
2)They are terrastrial and they can climb but none are soley arboreal.

~Asanbonsam Apr 2, 2012

typo: I meant submerged

~bhut Mar 22, 2012

Impressive! But aren't the other Australian mammals that may get in the way of this evolution?

~Leggurm Mar 22, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

See electreel's below comment.

~bhut Mar 23, 2012

Fair enough.

~electreel Mar 20, 2012

Hmm... I would certainly like to see a greater variety of platypus species. Australia during the Allocene would be warmer and moistier, and not many mammals would be adapted to aquatic environment (marsupials are limited by their breeding pouches and most placentals don´t seem to have many opportunities), so creatures like platypodes would be rather common.
Nevertheless, though I like your concept of shovelbills, I think avimustelids are a little too much. Platypodes have very primitive features (egg-laying, low metabolism...) and in addition they are very specialized. This means they wouldn´t have any opportunity at all in evolving into predatory forms, since they would be easily outcompeted by any other already carnivorous creatures.

~Asanbonsam Apr 2, 2012

What do you mean with placentals not having many opportunities?
