Writings

Ancient History

The Little Fellow peered up at his father as The Clever One was presenting.


“Fellows!” The Celver One boomed. “We have translated a human poem from its original lexicon. The humans, unlike the grey ones, have thousands upon thousands of languages, but this one came from English, one of the most common.”


There were murmurs among the crowd of researchers.


“What is its name?” One of the humanologi...

First Impressions

The planet Virellon, shrouded in oceans of vapor and skyborne cities, had observed Earth for over three centuries—quietly, cautiously. Its people, the Yxari, were a race of sentient energy, their consciousness tethered to crystalline bodies that pulsed with shifting hues. They were ancient, patient, and deeply curious about the emotional volatility of carbon-based lifeforms.


When Earth’s electrom...

Peanuts

This place is weird

They tell their stories with little pictures and small dialog bubbles

It’s hard to decipher

There’s a dog

And several young children

A kid named Linus plays the piano

A girl named Lucy is always dancing

And there’s a kid named Charlie Brown

The grownups do not speak

Just honk

It’s very hard to understand this strange culture

I guess it’s all just Peanuts...

The invasion

The Hermarians lived in peace on their planet called: Caerema. Hermarians had never been contacted by another planet, nor have they tried to contact others. But on that faithful day, the communications department of the Hermarians' government, had intercepted a message.


"Captain, you might want to see this," a worker said.


The captain walked over to the screen, its bright green glow reminiscing ...

The First Words

Zhen’La drifted through the void, a sentient mist of code and current, both in the magnetic fields of a dying star. It had seen many dead worlds. Earth was just another.


Until it wasn’t.


Deep beneath layers of ash and rusted metal, Zhen’La found a capsule — a relic from the blue planet’s past. Inside: a clay tablet, charred but intact. The marks on it pulsed with ancient energy. Primitive, yet i...

The Manual

They called themselves The Lorth. Twelve-eyed and silver-skinned, they moved as a single intelligence across the gas oceans of Zephar-9. Thought was their tool. Logic, their language. Emotion—a concept, not a condition.


When their explorers detected a fossil stream of electromagnetic signals radiating from a small blue planet in a spiral arm of the galaxy, they were curious. Curious enough to rec...

The Series Stone

“I can’t believe you really found it!” Kyris wore a stupidly huge grin on her face as she brought the rock piece just a bit too close to it.


“Pfft, believe it.” Papa Miloq gave a bashful, proud smile and scratched the back of his neck with his tail.“You’re the one who told me I would.”


Kyris grinned, inspecting the piece. “I did do that, didn’t I?”


Miloq gave his usual what-am-I-going-to-do-wi...

Order Of The Sigil: Who’s afraid

There were cupcakes in the Farkas Solutions break room. Not the usual generic supermarket offerings with dried out frosting, these were fresh baked homemade treats dipped in rainbow sprinkles. A yellow post it stated: enjoy. In a shark-like frenzy, these staff swarmed the break room. Maintenance swept up the yellow crumbs.


“Does an idea ever just circle in your head?” Jim said, around his second...
