Loose Kanin: Chapter 15 - Monster in a Bottle

Zyneth walks stiffly beside me, as taut as a compressed spring. The moment we finally step outside the library and back into the sunlight, I turn to check on him.

He beats me to the punch. â€...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 14 - I’m the Ocean Now

No, this can’t be happening here, not with so many people around. I thought it was over, I thought it was gone, but I can feel the predator’s hunger creeping into my mind.

Panicked, despe...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 13 - Some Duel of Fates Shit

I ragdoll through the air for one horrifying moment. Paradoxically, I have a perfectly steady view of my body falling to its inevitable doom as the orb I’m using to see through floats peacefully ...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 12 - Masterful Design

Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck. What was I thinking? Zyneth warned me. He told me not to go too high or wander off on my own. And I blew him off like he was babying me.

Okay, calm down. I c...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 11 - Magical Compass

After a night spent Attuning the glass and using it to patch up various chips and reinforce my book side satchel, we head back to the Athenaeum in the morning. The easiest way I could solve my pred...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 10 - Hot and Cold

Taking Zyneth’s advice—and keeping in mind the earlier warning about dangerous folk maybe hanging around the top floors—I only head up another couple levels before I start poking around the s...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 9 - Vague Instructions

“I am starting to understand why Noli dislikes translators,” I say. It’s still so strange. So alien. They’re my words, but it’s not my voice.

“Somehow, I don’t think it’s the ...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 8 - Careless with Swords

“Translator first,” Zyneth decides before I can ask him what the hell all that was about. Rival gangs? Gillow’s creepy obsession with Zyneth’s mom? I know he’s tied up in some shady shit,...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 7 - Super Mysterious Operation

I spend the night sitting on the chair, pushed over against the door and as far away from Zyneth’s bed as I can manage. Watching Zyneth sleep would be creepy (ignoring the fact I did that while i...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 6 - On Sleeping Arrangements

It feels great to be walking through a town while being, you know, person-sized. And also just walking on two legs in general. Regaining a sliver of my humanity is nice. It’s not totally the same...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 5 - Not Exactly Pants

It turns out a glass body is not particularly designed for people clothes. Noli lends me a pair of her slacks first, but since my body is held together with a series of Chain spells instead of musc...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 4 - Shadow and Glass

I insist on staying outside that night. Sitting around and watching them all eat delicious food—which probably smells and tastes fantastic—when I can’t do any of that just rubs salt in the wo...

Loose Kanin: Chapter 3 - Not Exactly Licit

It takes three days to fix everything. Luckily the cloth sack prevented any of the shards from spearing through my vial, but it’s a terrible mess to clean up. I’m still finding bits of broken g...

Rezira refills Zyneth’s cup of tea as he sits back in his chair, eyebrows raised, blinking repeatedly after I finish my story. Finally, he takes a sip of the tea, then sets the mug down.

Glass Kanin: Chapter 41 - Noli

Gingerly, Rezira sets Noli down on her wife’s body. It’s surreal to try to make sense of what I’m seeing. Noli—the Noli I know—is sitting on the stomach of an elf woman, who is breathing ...
