We started out as friends, me visiting occasionally, staying with her and her boyfriend when I was in town. I had no idea she was into me, so it came as a surprise when she emailed me and said she'd be showing up in the same town that I was going to be in the following week. I knew we had a lot in common, but had no idea how we'd hit it off in bed, which wa...
Imagine a world that has shrunk to just this: a lone gas-station town in the middle of a desert. It's a town of bleached wood and dusty plastic, a town of rainbow-sheened metal and pumps with no gas left. No, it's not a ghost town. People live here, mechanics whose jean-and-flannel uniforms are like tradition: passed down for so long that they only hint at t...
Hey. Still waiting on my next Ice Era Chronicle, so I got some more of this written. Murry is kind of growing on me. I was hoping he was going to get saved. I hope you have come back to see what happens next. Cheers. ~M~ From C.M. Moore *** *Chapter 3* Saved... or maybe not. Murry woke up to more terrible agony then he'd ever felt in his life. His eyes...

"Best to always take action to make sure you are the winner." He added another fabricated fuel log to the trucks burner and tightened the steam valve on the piston compartme...
Still amidst the depths of winter, I'm impatient to get home and find some respite from the bitter chill of the frosted air. By the time I arrive at the painted flaked door to my flat, my fingers are already starting to numb a little, I struggle for a second to convince the key to snuggle into its lock before finally persuading it. I always have to jiggle th...
Author's Note: Now that my university obligations are done for the year I should spare more free time for this...'Should' is the key word, I promise nothing. You need to get out of here! Run! You can't stay here! Phil's soul seemingly screamed at him. The moment he locked eyes with the petite figure, a part of him somewhere deep down inside of him wanted n...
In the year of 2044, the landscape of Earth's many satellites had significantly expanded from the low thousands to well over ten thousand in number, among them living an international assortment of astronauts assigned to various jobs and duties. For Dean and Jay, two lone men on a six-month observational trip in a far corner of the atmosphere, their mission...
Saturday afternoon, late April. It was sunny outside, but no one could get out for a stroll. Everybody had to stay home, by order of the government, because a stupid disease had been spreading all over the world for two months and a half. "I'm so bored" complained Luca. "Me too" yawned Gina. "I just finished watching nine seasons of The Office. Twice." Lu...
Fiona's e-mailed instructions had me burning with curiosity, and I arrived right on time at the specified address still without any clue about what awaited me. It was some kind of commercial scientific institute on the outskirts of Cambridge, but clearly affiliated with the university. A large building of concrete, steel and tinted glass, security cameras wa...
Jemima locked the door of the apartment and dropped her bags on the floor of the hall before kicking off her heels with an audible sigh of relief. She ignored the pile on mail on the doormat and trotted across the wooden floor towards the small spiral staircase that led up to the bedroom. As she climbed the stairs she consciously shed the concerns of the day...
