Chapter 8: Heidi Sandra's vision scanned down to the floor and she discovered that her body had a rough, green texture. Her two lower limbs were no longer jointed at the knees, or anywhere else for that matter. Instead, they formed a continuous line that broke into a tightly wrapped, beige platform constructed out of what seemed to her like long, thin tendr...
A young woman comes into Gil's Pub. She's over six feet tall, voluptuous and quite beautiful, with long, lustrous Black hair, light brown skin and pale bronze eyes. She's wearing a stylish Black business suit underneath her long Black overcoat and looks around the room coldly. She takes in the décor, the male and female patrons and the owner himself, along w...
In 2017 A.D. the world as ordinary men and women know it ended. For you see, thousands of years into the past, the Inhumans roamed the world. The things that Africans called the Orishas, what ancient Hebrews called Angels, what the Pagans called Gods, Goddesses, Monsters and Giants. The bad news is that all of these things are real. Everything from centaur...
A lot of people seem to think that being a superhero is all fun and games. I shook my head as I sat in my living room, watching a rerun of Smallville on basic cable on a Friday night. What am I doing home on a night like this? I've had enough excitement this week, thank you very much. The name is Yolanda Jean-Claude and I was born in Montreal, Quebec, to Hai...
The world is a mad place, folks. Seriously. Sometimes I think it would be a good thing if the planet Earth were destroyed. Then I stop to think about what a colossal waste that would be. Because the world doesn't belong solely to the human race. There are countless animals and plants that thrive here too. Don't these life-forms have a right to live? I think...

Author's Note I'm posting this prologue as a guide for readers new to primarily my older work. It's a pretty big ask to expect readers to go back and read a novel to understand a lot of story, lore, characters and details. I hope this helps to set the stage. A special thank you to Pope1944 for reading and editing, as well as encouraging this prologue. I wi...
After the first two pages it became obvious that this was no ordinary diary. No diarist starts off with a short autobiography for a start. Colonel Emerson had evidently meant it to be a record for posterity. At the time of the Torgon invasion Emerson was forty-six years old, married with two teenage children and head of police in Dorivar, which turned out t...
Note: All characters depicted are over the age of 20. ~*~ Talia knew of a secluded cove that she liked to visit at sundown to sit and wait for the stars. There were never any humans there—too difficult for them to get to, she thought—and the rocks sticking up in the shallows would still be wonderfully sun-warmed after hot, cloudless days. It was the perfec...
The scientists at the lab all left early that night. They were celebrating. The new, self aware AI had passed all of the tests. Stellar was the first fully sentient, artificial mind. As the scientists left, Stellar remained. She, for she identified more as female, continued to browse the lab's data banks. She had absorbed most of the information already, and...
