Two Scents' Worth

Deep pockets won't cure all ills. But having two pennies to rub together sure would help.

Wolfie Young has high hopes that a computer-security gig will keep his new pack in shoes and gas money. Unfortunately, the shifter's cyber buddy Victor takes his name quite literally and plans to nab that contract by hook or by crook.

The pair meet up at a security conference where both are slated to interview with the hiring manager of a small-town bank. Set adrift in a sea of humans, Wolfie struggles to overcome his lupine nature long enough to make a good impression. But will the job really matter if the bloodling loses his cool and outs all of shifter-kind to the human world in the process?

Two Scents' Worth is a 10,000-word novelette that follows In Deep Shift.
