Lightning

Ch8 - The Gift Horse

By H. A. Kirsch

—

Trevor walked into a scene of morning chaos, at least as much as could be created by four people in a large warehouse full of dubious equipment.

The maned wolf was nearly knocked off his feet as Lane stormed past the opening to the main floor. The furless cat stomped up to Altius, who was pensively observing the large energizer. “Why, is th...

Lightning - 7 - Vision Thing

You can tell I sometimes name stories after songs, right? Right?  Anyway, here we have Trevor's secret getting out. He's not very good at keeping secrets. Plus, some foreshadowing for what will happen next with him and Fitch.

Also! I have completed "Book 1" of Lightning! I have completed the first draft of my first novel! 23 chapters! Crap. Now I have to edit it and put it together and figure out how to publish it. It's likely there'll be a second book which will continue the big...

Lightning - 6 - Saturday

Trevor gets to explore Castleton on his own, only to spend a very special evening with the fearsome panther Fitch. 

----

The Wednesday evening drunken conversation with Lane made Trevor feel slightly better. The hairless cat didn’t seem concerned with Fitch, though Trevor also wondered if perhaps Lane and the others were oblivious, or if it was because Fitch was truly not interested in pursuing them in that way. The maned wolf didn’t feel like he was particularly pursue-a...

Lightning - 5 - Friends in Low Places

Trevor gets to find out a little more about where he lives and works, although it's only exposing more mysteries.

---

Trevor had arrived in Castleton on a Monday. Fitch had given him what sounded like an ultimatum on a Tuesday, to be fulfilled on that Saturday.  That meant three entire days of fretting about what could happen, with only one break from the panther’s glaring attitude.

At least, that’s what the maned wolf thought when he woke up on Wednesday, after a n...

Lighting - Ch4 - Happy Workers

Trevor gets to experience his first full day at the laboratory. And his first close encounter with the brooding panther Fitch...

----

Trevor had forgotten to close the curtain and sunlight beamed into his window via a reflection from the building across the street and woke him up. Once awake, the din of the street below was intense enough to keep him that way. An endless procession of horseshoes on cobblestones and the rattle and clack of coach, carriage, and truck wh...

Update about Updates

It's been a while since I posted something. I had intended to post up a piece of "Lightning" about every week or every two weeks. I have been lightly editing them, reading through and trying to fix up consistency problems pointed out by one of my alpha readers, fixing typos, etc.

Two things have gotten in the way. One is that my ADHD-addled brain decided to embark on another project, which I'm writing and posting just for everyone to read as it's a self-indulgent thing putting Hawk in...

Lightning - Ch3 - Not Exactly College Material

Trevor travels to Castleton and gets to meet up with Dr. Altius Brasseri, Lane Burroughs, and the remaining cast of characters of the lizard's quote-unquote "research team". 

---

A week after accepting the offer, Trevor received a date and location to meet Dr. Brasseri at the new “transportation depot” in Castleton. He packed his necessities into a carrying suitcase: several pairs of breeches and linens, several collared shirts, a spare cloak, a notebook and pen. He clean...

Lightning - Ch2 - The Offering

Thanks to his appearance at the town fair, Trevor is getting noticed by people! 

FYI, this is the last piece I'm going to simulpost onto FA/SF/etc for promotional reasons. Starting with Ch3, it'll be off by at least a week between Patreon and Everywhere Else. 

---

The fair only stayed in Potter’s Clearing for another week. Trevor considered going back every single day, and shot the idea down with some various excuses. He didn’t want to walk; he didn’t want to...

Lightning - Ch1 - Trip to the Fair

The first real chapter of "Lightning"! Meet gray-maned-wolf Trevor as a seemingly innocuous trip to the town fair with his rambunctious young cousin cracks open the door to his adventures.

NOTE: This chapter will be posted immediately everywhere as part of a teaser, however it cannot be 'public' on Patreon because it has s e x u a l  c o n t e n t.

At nineteen years of age, Trevor de en Seince was still living in the same house with his aunt, still living in the...

Lightning - Ch0 - Prologue

The beginning opening to "Lightning" which I wrote several years ago, and which re-inspired me to crank out more than "The Hobbit"'s worth of words earlier this year!

Two important things: 

1. I'm going to be posting these as 'second drafts', meaning I'll have given them an editing pass. They may be revised more heavily later if I decide to collate it into something like a series of books or whatever.

2. This very first short piece takes place when the main characte...

Tiers?

Patrons, what works well for someone who's just going to serialize stories? Just one tier and one thing at a time? I had an idea to try having a tier for each of several serial stories I was working on, and that didn't work out so well. I don't really finish big sprawling things a lot, and tend to write them in a serial sort of fashion, so I want to share them to the world instead of waiting and waiting and waiting to finish them.

I'm thinking of going back to just one tier for when I...

Update - About to start a new thing!

I wrote about 140,000 words of something recently. So, I'm going to start editing up the chapters and posting them on here. That should be good for... a while.

Update: Huge Project

As usual, I have a few things I've been working on that I've been posting on here in various ways, and then all of a sudden I got into an enormous project by accident. Now I've written 140k words and there's no end in sight. I don't know what to do. Send help.

Anyway, I'm not sure how much I'll really be able to post on the things I've been serializing on here once I run out of stuff for them.

New Tier and Story: "Thrall of the Sea Wolf"

I'm now doing a new story called "Thrall of the Sea Wolf"! Wow, what's that about? Well, obviously someone who is enthralled by a wolf of some type and it obviously involves the sea so probably like boats and stuff...  and smut, and humans and werewolves, and gear fetish stuff, and the usual things I like to write about.

It's also going to be its own tier on Patreon! So if you want to read it, you also need to be in that tier.  You'll also get acce...

Beware The Wolf: Pt11 - Good Intentions

(UPDATED WITH THE STORY UNNGGHH) Steven the Raven discovers that his monstrous avian status is good for business at his punk-fetish sex shop job. He also lays a plan.

---

Brutus once more woke up alone. He looked at his smartphone; Tuesday. Tuesday tuesday tuesday. Tuuuuuueesday afterrrrrnooooon… my old man used to listen to that stuff. I wonder what he’s up to.

Then he sat bolt upright. Shit Steven said he had to go back to work. He got up and looked a...

Beware The Wolf Pt10: The Origin of Ruin

Damon isn't feeling so good after his encounter with Brutus. It's nothing a little breakfast and chat wouldn't fix... 

---

Damon watched the motorcycle and rider scream away down the dirt access road, feeling a mild sense of shock. “What…” he said out loud, to no one, as the late hour meant Tanny River Metropark was inhabited by only woodland creatures. “Fucking dammnit! Fucking shithead! Fucking stealthing BBBH asscunt!”

He pulled his phone out, angrily inten...

Beware The Wolf - Pt9: Test That Stumped Them All

Steven and Brutus decide to see just how repeatable their monstrous transformations are as they turn their attention to their bartender landlord.

---

Despite the events of the previous night, both Brutus and Steven quickly fell asleep owing to the late after-closing hour and the exhaustion from witnessing and experiencing a gruesome transformation.

Brutus woke up well into the day, surprised to find that Brad was expectedly present while Steven was also nowhere to...

Beware The Wolf - Pt 8 - Revelations

Steven gets bored and high and has a little romp with Brutus, and then suffers the consequences. 

----

After Friday closing, Brad and Steven hung around downstairs in the bar. “Hello, gracious host,” Steven said, as he sat down at the bar.

“We’re closed,” Brad sighed.

“Exactly. You look like you need some actual companionship, instead of trying to run a bar full of bored and horny gay men with terrible taste in music.” Steven wore a fancy dress vest ...

Beware The Wolf - Pt7 - Bikers are Reckless

Brutus the wolf decides to go out for a restless night ride, that turns reckless as he picks up an unexpected human passenger.

--- 

“I wanna go downstairs.”

Steven, who had just walked past Brutus’ still-unfilled doorway, backed up with a black-fingernailed hand on the frame. “No.”

“I don’t fucking care. I wanna go downstairs. I wanna find some drunk asshole and scare the piss out of him. Or scare the cum out of him. You think someone’d cum from se...

Beware The Wolf - Pt6 - Revengence Machine

Brutus realizes he has lupine desires, which means Fresh Meat!!! He also gets his bike back and learns something useful about himself. 

----

“What exactly are you doing?” Steven asked, having passed by Brutus’ ‘room’ about fifteen times in the last half hour and finally deciding to satisfy his curiosity. “You look like a viral dog video.”

Brutus was hunkered on his mattress with a blanket draped over him like a massive hood, and he stared out the un-doored...

Beware The Wolf - Pt 5 - The Ritual

A maliciously curious human from a previous chapter ends up experiencing an unusual heavy-metal sex ritual at the hands of Steven and Brutus. 

--- 

I screamed in a way I’ve never screamed for real, unintentionally, reactionary, for my life. I turned to run and bolted as fast as I could, but the lights cut out and I could see exactly nothing. No security lights, no safety lights, no windows, no moonlight. I made it a few feet and smashed into something so hard that I he...

Beware The Wolf - Pt 4 - The Building

Brutus and Steven continue to solve their immediate problems generated by Brutus becoming an anthro wolf monster. This time: a place to live. 

---

Steven and Brutus approached “The Underworld”, a bar that was built into a strange old urban mansion that looked far more gothic than its actual former use as a fraternity meeting space suggested. Brutus was on a mission in the back alley, while Steven hurried to keep up.

“You really shouldn’t be storming around like ...

Beware The Wolf - Pt 3 - The Outfit

Brutus and Steven go on a small adventure. This piece follows after the last of the "Rise of the Leatherwolf" stuff I'd posted a year or two or whatever ago. If you read these and feel a bit confused, that's actually intentional. I'm screwing around.  A segment of my brain wants to do the "Dhalgren" thing, I guess.

—-

Brutus and Steven stood in the back alley behind “Black and Silver Leather”. Steven looked like he belonged near a store with such a name: lanky build, lo...

Beware The Wolf - Pt2 - Werewolf Breeding Zone

I saw one of those signs on Etsy that said "Caution: Werewolf Breeding Zone". I first thought "is that where they breed werewolves? Or is that where the werewolves breed you?" Of course that's the point of the sign.  Thus, a different take on Pt 1, more in line with the overall idea of this series. 

---

The bar was called The Underworld. That seemed like a really open-for-interpretation name. I guess they were going for dark and gay sleazy stuff, and didn’t want to use...

Beware The Wolf - Pt 1

I'm back! I had some sort of bonkers idea to write a series of short story bits that progress forward on an overall timeline and overlap, though aren't directly connected to each other. Imagine sliding a window along a timeline incrementally and writing separate stories where you stop it. Confused? Sure. Hence, "Beware The Wolf". This is actually a continuation of my "Rise of the Leatherwolf" story series. 

---

This one building downtown always creeped me out. It looked like ...

Rise of the Leatherwolf, Pt. 5

What am I doing? I don't know. Slowly writing. Feeling like I should squeeze out my "Attachments" cyborg-fox novel series. Something something something. 

Here, have the next bit of Rise of the Leatherwolf.

---

Henry once more awoke in a mess feeling like death warmed over. Unlike the previous time, his exploits were not recorded in dried spunk splattered all over a cock-sleeve jackoff toy haphazardly embedded in the ass of a mannequin purchased from a stor...

Rise of the Leatherwolf, Pt.4

Nano? What's that? Yeah, I'm not really doing that. But here's the next installment of "Rise of the Leatherwolf"! Warning: transformation.

---

Henry sat at one of the dingy tables at The Dawnrazor and tuned out the world around him. That was easy enough to do, because the bar was nearly deserted. Thursday was not anyone’s choice of a party night, and the goth-gay-leather bar scene in town possibly consisted of only Henry and Steven and bartender Billy. It was slow e...

Update - Doing Nano, and a Snippet

I've been suffering from writer's block, which is frustrating because I continuously form ideas and start to go nuts underneath the weight of them. 

I've decided to do NaNoWriMo again this year, and my novel is - at this moment - a reimagining of Hawk as a gay kinky feudal lord. 

For now, have a first chapter of a possible sequel to "Captured by Cowboy Cougars". It's  also a sequel to "Taken by Biker Werewolves".

I walked into the bar and every...

Hawk In Other Settings!

I got this crazy idea for putting my story characters - always including Hawk - into various other genre settings. So what would be best?
