Adrift

In the Bleak Expanse of Space - There is a single buoy of Hope.

The klaxon alarm that heralded the evacuation of Terra Prime still haunts my dreams. Even though I am a safe colonist on Lunar Prime. The desolate floating of everything on this rock feels like the primal birth of something voidal, gaping, and incessant. Like a fly buzzing just on the outside of your perception barrier. Taunting and also easy to dismiss with enough distraction. The trouble is, distractions like food ratio...

An Open Letter: Arte's Thoughts

I'm just a visitor, but even I can see what's wrong here.

Dear Humans, You're all so weird! Sorry, let me start that again. I've been on your planet for 35 years. I've witnessed some things that I wouldn't want anyone else to, yet people do. I've seen the world through the eyes of a baby, growing up to become an infant, child, teenager, and finally adult. When I was a baby, things were simple: Cry for attention, sleep most of the time, play for a bit. This pattern continued unti...

Synopsis Archon has been a soldier for the United Federation of Earth (UFE) since the day the first race of aliens invaded. He was one of the first volunteers for the robotic enhancements and has been on the front lines of the war every day since. Being on the front line, also meant he was one of the first ones affected when the spell was cast that tore his and every other living creature on earth’s life force in two. Arc...

Waypoint Five

Fleeing a devastating war a woman arrives at a distant colony with a mysterious cargo.

08/12/214 (Adjusted Calendar) You're not supposed to dream in frozen suspension. Certainly not a dream of a small child with your ship's engineer's eyes. The image flickered for an instant behind Mana's closed eyelids as the transparent cover of her tank spat open, simultaneously draining the freezing suspension fluid into a reservoir underneath her, the whirr of the pump motors more felt than heard through her fluid-fill...

The Ghithorian

When the life of a planet ceases to exist, will Za'kyia be able to survive?

The universe is a cold, dark place. It goes on, forever, and ever, and there's nothing we can do about it. There's nothing that can change the fact that one day, the stars will go out, one by one, dying as they fade from the sky we so desperately love. We look up and see death, the slow death of the universe as stars explode, or get swallowed up by black holes, or get overrun by alien races we know nothing about. And yet,...

Gidealis Enigma Chapter 24

Demi gets contacted by the Intergalactic forces, asking him to turn in his felon boyfriend

Chapter 24 The Winds of Ashtarma “Tell me more.” I ask, rubbing the thin but strong skin of his wings between my fingers. “I was running away from the intergalactic search, when I smelled Leot. At that point I was in so much pain of his rejection, and his desire to hunt me down, that I felt like turning myself in. So I put my spaceship over that city, Deikeren, and I went there. The strangest places, these human cities......

Gidealis Enigma Chapter 7

In this chapter Demi dreams to be his ancestor Ari, and experiences a rude awakening.

Chapter 7 The Brown Cloak “You what?!” Thunders Mevild. “It just took really long, so he just came in… I sent him to get a book back from another teacher…” Mumbles Dot, who just can’t lie. I don’t even know which lie can possibly save us now? “Yes, it’s true… But father, I got lost on the way and… I met this beautiful girl. So I spent time with her. She was so sweet and lovely…” Both Mevild and Dot open their mouths and l...

The Agent, Conclusion

Further adventure of an Agent

These stories are meant to be read serially Jen and I spent the following few days visiting her relatives we had met at the party, where Jen spent most of the time talking with the teens and cuddling the younger ones while I conversed with the parents. That's what she wanted, to try to connect with the next generation, and I watched her flourish when she did. We waited some days until Saturday to visit Harry and Lucille's...

The Agent

The start of an epic

I welcome comments and criticism. All I could remember was the blinding light and the pain, the burning searing pain. And then, blankness. And now, I was awake. Not the gradual awakening as from sleep, but an immediate and full consciousness. I couldn't see, I couldn't feel, I could only be. A voice intruded on my confused thoughts, “Don't be disturbed. You're going to be fine. We've only woken you to reassure you. Even w...
