Homesick
Chapter 1
Lewis poked his head out from the manhole, his tail twitching nervously as his eyes darted about the empty alleyway. “All clear, Chief.” “Homlin zwio Yeppa naikana?” Lewis closed the manhole and looked over at the seven inch tall pudgy blue humanoid sitting on his shoulder. It had tall tall black eyes, pointed teeth, two …[continue reading]
Chapter 2
Pandora sighed, her eyes glazing over as the teacher rambled on about things she already knew. Normally, she would alleviate her boredom by observing the behavior of her classmates, but today the only ones in class were a few of the more boring students and Lewis. Pandora felt a scowl form on her face, ah, …[continue reading]
Chapter 3
Lewis gently closed the door to his apartment, treading in with a heavy sigh. Immediately he was greeted by an excitable blue creature, similar to Chief in appearance, but with a small pair of goggles instead of a headband. It swiftly began to babble excitedly and tug on Lewis’s pant leg for several seconds before …[continue reading]

Pandora gently shoved the door to Lewis’s apartment open, her eyes cautiously wandering around the room.

It was a pleasant type of surprise …[continue reading]

Really, the strangest thing was how many questions he had answers to. It couldn’t be normal to be able to list all …[continue reading]
Chapter 7
“Chief! What the hell are you doing!” Chief sighed. Not this again. Lewis was always so unreasonable. “Yoispa homlin natai, Ruis greppao!” Lewis’s voice changed from surprised to angry. “It doesn’t matter! No killing! We talked about this! Now, give me the sword.” Chief hesitated. They had the homlin pinned, and the body could easily …[continue reading]

Chapter 8
Pandora swung her car door shut, beginning her trek from the parking lot to Lewis’s apartment. She’d been coming over every couple of days for the past few weeks, bringing a list of preprepared questions each time. Currently, she knew a lot about gremlins, but there was still just as much if not more that …[continue reading]
