The year is 201X. A new pathogen is discovered in the wreckage of a ship buried in the arctic ice. After it infects the entire research team resulting in their quarantine, experiments are performed in a lab deep in the mountains of the United States. The way this pseudo-virus operates is outside the bounds of anything this world has ever seen before. Instead...
Diego awoke in Rain Down Temple. The place was a holistic clinic, but at that moment he prayed for a pharmaceutical miracle. His lover, Remy, got out of bed, pulling his long dark hair into a ponytail as he left the room. When the young doctor returned he started Diego on IV antibiotics as well as morphine for the pain. This allowed the older man to fall ba...
Well you all seem to be enjoying this one so I guess I'll keep going. * After the memorial service for Mark a bunch of us went to our local watering hole to have a few drinks and share stories about him. I asked Ian to come with us but he declined saying that he needed to get some sleep. I knew it was a lot of bullshit and it was only that he felt out of...
*10 days later* Dr. John Redmond took his place in front of the awaiting crowd. Sorting his papers, he gazed into the audience of cameras and microphones, the media ready to catch his every word and move. Never before had he been requested to do this. "Good afternoon, I am Dr. Johnathan Redmond of St. Rita's Medical Centre. I will be speaking to you tod...
Adrien could feel the adrenaline being dumped into his body as he took the stairs two at a time, his hospital pager had beeped not thirty seconds ago and he was already one floor down from his office -- a personal best. He'd been notified some forty minutes ago that there could be a critical case, already on life-support, being med-evaced from the nearest A&...
This is my first time writing a story. please let me know what you think! This was not how I expected to spend spring break, locked in my apartment with my roommate for 14 days. We were told we can't leave until the incubation period for this virus was over. I need to think positive to get through this, at least I have my roommate David. A little bit about...
I grew up in New England. My mom was a Sales Director for Boeing and starting when I was ten, moved to the West Coast for six months out of the year which left me at home with my dad. He was also a Director, but for an Investment Firm, so needless to say I had a great childhood especially being an only child. Everything was pretty good until I turned 18. Whe...
Authors' note. This is the first section of a collaboration between Electricblue66 and myself. This story follows Jesse several years in the future, meeting Adam [one of Electricblue66's key characters] and the events that follow. It was written turn and turn about with no pre-conceived plot. The result was, it's safe to say, quite unexpected... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~...
Steve pulled into the medical center parking lot at 5:45 p.m. Dr. Harry Wu's practice closed at 5:30 p.m. and the door was locked. Dr. Wu was sitting behind the reception desk. He let Steve in, then relocked the door. "Thanks for seeing me, Doctor," Steve said. "I just couldn't get away sooner." "No problem." Dr. Wu was a big handsome Asian man in his ear...
I stretched out face down on the lower bench of the sauna, luxuriating in the gentler heat down low and the space available to me, the sole occupant. As a nineteen year old student I was able to take advantage of quiet times when most people were working, currently it was early afternoon and I appeared to be the only customer in the spa complex at all. So...
