Hey,

I haven’t figured out how I’m going to send this to you yet. I guess it doesn’t matter. Even if I could send it to you, how would you read it? Using pen and appear is so awkward, but I can’t do anything that would give up my location, so no electronic tranmsmssions of any kind. It’s a shame, some of the old cell towers still work.

Back in the day, I travelled with a notebook and pen and even...

Former Sergeant First Class Renya Perez stood near the edge where the shelter met the sands of Ghalaran. She didn’t consider herself the sergeant who landed here so many years ago. The sands had smoothed it away as they had the decals of the three ships that crashed here with her. The sun bleached away all but the stoic metal. Reyna could smell rust in the air, and knew this would mean the rainy s...

This was dangerous. Too dangerous. However, going back wasn’t an option. I watched the faces of my wife and little girl as we continued walking. At the end of this tunnel, there was unknown. Well, that wasn’t entirely true. There were rumors. Rumors of a place filled with something called color. Something that wasn’t just stark light or dark night. The first time I heard about it, I was intrigued....

Against The Waves

Birds circle overhead, shrieking their warnings as the storm picks up in swirling, malevolent gusts, stirring the sea so it folds in on itself. Land is near, thank the heavens if there are any, but the coast is so jagged it’s unlikely we’ll be able to land without being torn apart by the cutting rocks and the crushing waves. Though we hardly have the choice to continue on sea.

The raft jolts ba...

The boy was strangely at ease with the whole process, which bothered Dr. Gibson deeply. She watched as the boy ate from his tray of mashed potatoes and vegetables and stared out of the window with a nearly vacant expression. Dr. Gibson followed his gaze. Outside, the skyline of Enclave rose against the mountains. Underneath their shadows lay a modest expanse of farmland that came to the foot of th...

Being a salvage technician was never a bad job. I’m basically a modern day tow truck driver and that’s why I got into this job. My father and his father were both tow drivers, but since no one’s used cars in the last 30 years I couldn’t carry on the family company. No money in nostalgia.

Instead, I chose to work as a technician who salvages earth space craft. A good job, and it has taught me a l...

The year was 1677. It was the cusp of the Age of Enlightenment. All of educated Europe was abuzz with word of Newton’s invention of the reflecting telescope and the advancement of physics, astronomy and calculus. A whole new world of science and information was opening up and for the few who stood at its threshold it was an exhilarating moment to live in.

Dr. William Conifer was a pioneering pro...

The gravestone was unremarkable. Finneas Chancey had no remaining relatives, and so had a state funeral. Aster Somme, P.I., stood over the plain marker as the rain fizzled out his cigarette. The smell of stone, grass, and wet tobacco filled his nostrils and joined with his growing sense of unease. The police had contacted him to say that they had a suspect in custody, but had reached a dead end in...
