Stella: Seal Agent
3 p.m. EST, Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, GA Dr. Marino’s evil cackle fills the air as they point a gun at the prone female. “You have failed agents! Now, I will be able to take credit for the All-Animal Translator but also alter it so I can control any animal! I will be powerful!”

Rich Neighbour, Poor Neighbour
As it was Thursday, Claude wore a red tie. Picking what suit to wear was the challenge. Should he wear the burgundy suit that he uses for outside wear or his teal suit for when guests come over. In the end he went for his yellow suit. The one that his neighbour’s wife knitted for him, it was warm and comfortable.

The Tomato Juice Scandal
Rupert Smithson looked down at his sparkling gold watch, muttering quietly under his breath. It ticked unusually slowly this morning — none of them had shown up to the meeting yet. Was this not unacceptable? Didn’t they know he knew where they lived? Right down to the color of their doors?

The Mysterious Gift
I apply the final touch to the small Christmas tree, then switch on the lights. The tree is only small, but as a newly single mother, it is all I can afford. I observe the two small bags of wrapped presents under the tree there aren't many, but I know that Charlotte and Rose will be grateful for them. There are only three presents each in the bags, that is the price families pay nowadays for being on a low income.

Charlemagne's Game
A cold current wakes me. I slowly open one eye to see who disturbed the water. Just an angel fish looking for food. I open the other and adjust myself to match the coral I’m leaning on. I haven’t seen any sharks since I was put in this tank, but I know better than not to expect one. That’s what I learned when I was little and lived on the reef.

Sushi and Sashimi
Sushi and Sashimi were two fish who lived in a small pond near the coast of Japan. They were the best of friends and spent their days swimming, playing and exploring their surroundings. One day, as they were lounging in the warm sun, Sushi brought up a philosophical question that had been weighing on his mind.

Lyle’s Aquatic Adventure
It was a hot summer week in early August. I had been through extreme highs and lows, every day and night. I felt so hungry and stress made my stomach go into a rage through my belly. I tried to get through exams during summer school. Then, I did many shifts for my part-time job at the recording studio. I felt exhausted! Suddenly, I got a call from Liam, my best friend. I can't believe this is happening. He’s invited me for a trip to the aquarium. I asked him if I could bring Mio, my lover, and some of her sisters to come. I'm sure Liam had already asked his crush, Ayame. She’s one of Mio’s sisters, of course.
