*First place in the Warriors Watty Awards 2015 Short Story Category* Frog always felt like he didn't belong. What else would one think when that was all they'd ever been told? After being cast out of the makeshift family of Twolegplace loners he was born into, the tom finds himself on the wrong side of SeaClan's border. Caught by the fierce and beautiful Swanpaw, Frog soon realizes that this harsh world SeaClan lives in is no place for a cowardly, wandering loner like him. Trapped in a world he knows nothing of, Frog must prove his worth to SeaClan if he wishes to survive, or he risks losing his place on the earth altogether - if he ever had one in the first place.

Sandrine has devoted her life to the Order of Charon, an organisation responsible for countless deaths. After almost a decade of faithful service, she is given a mission which forces her to question the very purpose of the Order and her place within it. "Abhorrent Practices" is a fantasy adventure, which examines the issue of assisted suicide. That's not why you should read it though. You should read it because it's fun, too.
