Brad was enjoying his little break from reality that night. He and Khaled played some pool and threw money into the jukebox to hear songs they could have heard on the radio for free. The alcohol had thinned out his blood and acted like an analgesic on his body and his mind. In his drunken haze, he found himself stealing longer and more frequent glances at th...
1 - Stranger in a Strange Land I awoke to an unfamiliar ceiling, and cursed. I suppose I may have simply deluded myself. I had hoped with the amount of effort I had put into my original disappearance that they couldn't find me. After all, I had spent over a year planning it out. Naturally, I started by faking my death in a spectacular, yet admittedly inordi...
Sitting at a table in the break room, I laid out the schematics for the station. The room was airy and bright, nothing like the dark and cluttered spaces I'd found when I first came aboard the station. Stars drifted past the window, and the air recyclers hummed happily along.

Fleeting movement caught my eye, reflex swung the arm and weapon into line with one...
Static Season 2 Finale Lucky awoke in the dark room once again. He sat up on the bed and felt fully recharged. A smile spread across his face as tested the strength of his legs and found them as strong as ever. He wondered if the shot that Muna had given him had really worked. The room was dark, but Lucky's eyes had adjusted to it quite nicely and found t...
Liv walked down the cracked side walk. She pulled her black, woolen waistcoat around her against the early spring chill. Above her, street lights started to come on and they floated ahead of her like ghostly orbs in the fog. She kept her head down, turned up the collar on her coat, and made her way down the street through crowds of people who were making the...

(Please read Part 1 and 2 for storyline context) It had been a couple days since John and Marias impromptu meeting in the work carpark. John sat in his IT office smirking to himself after the whirlwind week it had been. In the space of a week he had had sex with Maria, the Colombian 40 something PA to the boss in her office, and then did the same with her...

Point is, they n...
