There is a small town next to the spaceport, still on Rodriguez land. About two thousand people live there, all connected to the spaceport in some fashion. There are a couple of shops, a school, a community hall and a pub, complete with mini brewery and bowling alley. These kind of communities, once common on Earth, are now exceedingly rare, having been repl...

Caleb Astor had been waiting for his acceptance letters from the colleges he applied to. Caleb had just graduated high school with a perfect GPA and had applied to many prestigious...
My apologies to Greco-Roman scholars, first of all. This is a story of Persephone and Hades. In this story, they do not meet until modern times because Demeter took Persephone away from Olympus shortly after her daughter was born. To avoid incest issues, Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades are brothers and sons of Cronus and Rhea. Hera, Hestia, and Demeter are sisters...
Talla was flying the Pygmalion under Juan's watchful eye. She was doing alright. Juan did not have to interfere. When we were about two hours out of Okton4 Juan took over. He was going to land her himself. While we were in space I had briefed Trevor on the whole operation. I had shown him the footage we had prepared for Niels and explained how I was going t...
After half a day in space we were far enough away from gravitational influences and Pedro engaged the hyperdrive. Four hours later we were in open space again, the destination planet straight ahead about twelve hours away. I was on the bridge with Pedro and Juan. A scan revealed there were no ships within detecting range. "Alright boys, this is where we sta...
I knew from the time I saw Hades that I, daughter of Demeter, would be his queen. This may be an odd notion to have, as a child of Spring, but I knew that was my destiny. I knew that I was meant to be with him; that I was the only one who could bring light to his sad eyes. That I could bring Spring to his Underworld, and that I would rule beside him. I ne...
Chapter 41: The Horny Tom Breakfast on the terrace. A turning point. Bruce had arranged the barbeque area in the same fashion as the one in his yard. The banquet table was a bit larger though, easily seating around thirty people. There was another innovation. One of the new girls was helping him with the cooking, he was obviously teaching her his me...
The ancient Olympian gods have been reincarnated in the modern age as semi-mortal beings with human lifespans, but powers comparable to what they once held. Having taken human identities, the gods now live new lives in the mortal world, gravitating to occupations appealing to their ancient divine portfolios. For example, Zeus and Hera now have become the own...
The late night darkness was suddenly dispelled by a singular flash of brilliance. The light sizzled and expanded into a large sphere before exploding soundlessly and leaving two figures standing in the dewy grass of an endless and rolling meadow. Mega-Girl was in her red one-piece costume, wavy blonde hair falling to the middle of her back mingling with a pl...
I'm sorry; I haven't written a story in over two years. It takes time to make a good story. And I have been a geek for Greek Mythology. I hope you all like this story. If you don't, please, tell me, or just comment on my story and I'll know. Thanks. Here's the story. * "Aphrodite, you are forbidden to leave Mount Olympus," Zeus said as he tapped his finger...
