. 1 . He could go out. Aiden shook his head. No, no, that was crazy. It was three in the morning. Nothing would be open. He paced another lap around his hotel room. He turned on the TV, flicked through the channels-- all commercials-- and killed it. There was nothing to do. But he could go out. The same jet that had lagged him had delivered him to a new...
Disclaimer: HEY EVERYONE! thank you all for your continued support! I looked over this chapter and fixed a few things. Hope it's a better read. See ya! Chapter One Elizabeth's POV It was a hot, sunny afternoon in Chesterfield. The sky was a bright blue and the sun was beating down, making the locals take cover near the nearest tree for shade. It was a day...
Kuz the Shockpod lounged in his cell, his hands laced behind his back. The aches and pains of exposure to vacuum, the bullet impacts, the lacerations, all of it paled next to the happiness of having finally met an alien race that he felt got his people. The restraints were just the right level of restricting to not insult his honor, and the United States Mar...
"It's only a few days." Hatter sighed internally but externally smiled benevolently. "No worries I am a big Timelord after all. Nothing to worry about." He could hear the insistent tick of an atomic clock in the background. "You know I have been planning this trip for months. Quite the highlight of the year." He grinned and wrinkled His eyes and lied wi...
January 1st, 2017 The clock on the nighstand switched from a.m. to p.m. In the distance one could hear the church bells ring 12 times with a thunderous sound that was sure to wake up even the ones that partied hard last night. In a darkened room on the other end of the small city, a figure stirred in bed, forcefully awoken by the sound. The figure groaned an...

In the stories I don't always refer to all the groups as generally the character I am focusing on will view all other groups or refer to those groups as w...
Roxy left on a dirty weekend with Mal the next Saturday morning, her gratitude for Mal over-ruling her earlier decision not to do it because she'd found she'd liked his wife. She recanted because she felt beholden to him and Roxy said if he wanted her he better make it soon before she changed her mind. "I'll take you somewhere this Saturday," he said hastil...
The trip wasn’t long, it just seemed that way. Actually it was just a couple of hours. The jet engines roared as the pilot put them in reverse and the thrusters quickly slowed the plane down to taxi speed. The entire trip my mind was playing considerable scenarios over and over. My hands were sweaty and my stomach was churning so much I’d passed the in-flig...
This economy is killing me. Or as the general parlance goes, "it fucking sucks." "I'm sorry, Kay, but we really just cannot afford to continue your contract." He looks genuinely pained, but I am looking for any falsity, pretense. "I'd be willing to cut my rates, as I have the last three years, but the margin is getting smaller," I offer. He smiles. "I app...
The first week of summer, 2017, was an interesting one for me, I should know, I lived it long enough. I'd watched countless movies on what was happening to me, thought it was just stuff of fiction but there I was, living the same five days over and over again. Sounds fun right? It was the first few times, once I figured out it was happening I started to lear...
