The year is 2072, and we are no longer alone in the universe. The Paya came in a derelict beige cube of a ship. They didn't know how it traveled at superlight. We couldn't reverse-engineer anything except to tell it was some kind of smartmatter. It was already falling apart when it reached Earth orbit, practically a cardboard box. They were refugees from a w...
Sci-fi... science fiction. The very word conjures to mind spaceships, intergalactic civilization, laserbeams and robots. Or, maybe it just conjues up images of slightly overweight nerds in glasses who are obsessed with TV shows and live in their parents basement. Which is unfortunate, even if there is some grain of truth in it. I'll admit it. I'm a little n...
Working out on the edge was something that Samantha Morris enjoyed. She liked the solitude and the privacy; but mostly she liked the idea that she was the only one around for millions of miles. She grinned to herself at the anachronistic term, a term for which she had been chastised many times in her past. The honest truth was, she was approximately three h...
She sat quietly in the breakfast nook sipping her morning coffee, reflecting on the most romantic and thrilling day of her life.

Thor sat back and looked at the circuit board on the bench in front of him. A light wisp of smoke from his last solder point slowly dissipated in the breeze from the ceiling fan. "It should work now," he said. Sitting at the counter across the room, Carley snorted. "That's what you always say. That's what you've said at least a hundred times. It never work...
The Vatican had not seen this much activity since the Templar's had been purged in that unfortunate incident several centuries ago involving a relic they never should have found. Today though, the activity was of a much different kind. The papal envoys had been dispatched to notify the nine immediately after the meeting with the Pope and Cardinals. Once the...
Lester Hawthorne was a **** man. He'd quit a lucrative computer engineering job to try his luck as an independent inventor. But he hadn't managed to create anything of value. Les's funds were dwindling, and if he didn't come up with a profitable idea soon, he'd be **** to sell his house and take another job he hated to get by. Les was working on a dating app...
Nadia entered the office building atrium through the rotating doors. Her heels clicked on the marble floor as she strode to the reception desk. Her fitted business suit was an expensive charcoal grey pinstripe with knee length skirt. Her hair shone in the sunlight. "I have an interview appointment with the vice president of corporate relations, Mr. Bla...
Destiny watched the monitor screen as the robots inside the super-clean room assembled the tiny parts. Jonlee stood behind her, impatient with her presence. As Technology Director of this super-secure electronics factory, he didn't like prying visitors, even ones admittedly as good-looking as Destiny. He had protested vigorously against the visit, citing the...
