Watching the history unfold with your own eyes was, is and should be something incredibly gratifying. *** Many centuries must have passed between past and present, between what Lucian thought was space ferrying civilization of this kind, the one that takes you through the stars as if taking a sailboat out on th...
"Why is it on the entirety of the lunar surface, there's only two goddamn coffee makers?" The refrain – common in a workplace that had banned the more exotic nootropics since the year 2098 – broke into Lucas' concentration as he hunched over his workstation and glared at the spread of numbers. He lifted his head and saw that Teller, who was the head of the...
As the countdown began, I knew that I was in for the biggest adventure of my life. The gantries fell off, the rockets fired up, and before I knew it, I was in space, looking down on the world and where I had lived thirty six years of my life. The neutrino drive kicked in only then, creating a wormhole envelope by expelling a dense stream of neutrons at eit...
Earth Corps Vessel Alexander. Deep Space. Three Years Out Of Earth July 1st 2285. 0730 Hours. For six months molly had waited, wanting, crying herself to sleep over the one, she let gets away, but she had asked herself, why?

a note from the author: One of the things I enjoy about Science Fiction is the chance to take ideas that wouldn't work in the real world and have a little fun with them.

"Wonderful! Stellar! Spectacular!" exclaimed a rather irate person. "You have got to be kitting me?!" "A-are you all right?" a rather small voice squeaked towards the concerned individual. Climbing to his feet, having been blasted just moments before, Jynx checked for any signs of wounds or damage. His lab coat was rather disconcertingly clean and clear of...
Intrepid - 3756 C.E. Paul held Beatrice to his chest. Well, not all of her of course: just the head and shoulders. The rest of her was scattered in fragments across the living room, now so evidently the dismembered remains of an android rather than a human. It wasn't blood but a strangely viscous black liquid that seeped out of her mouth, from the stumps o...
''Cloe, im on the cargo zone, over'' Why are all the lights off? Victor was starting to get mad, his day was literally shit and does looks to go better when he read his mail at lunch time, his girlfriend ended the work before time on the colony, so they could get some free time after a while. He was working on the main ship out of the planet, one of the bigg...
Larry Braydon was clad in a plush terrycloth robe and seated at a circular mahogany table. The table was in turn placed in a room which had ornate green-gold wallpaper dotted with floral designs. A crystal chandelier overhead bathed the entire room in a lovely yellow glow, although there was some slight amount of sunlight also coming in through the tall wind...
Godwin - 3750 C.E. "How many incidents have there been now?" Paul was asked. "A few," he answered. "Six, in fact," said the dark hued security officer who'd flown in from the Interplanetary Union's administrative offices near Pluto. "Three reported at the university. Two between here and your home. And one that destroyed your home; or at least most of i...
