Hello, there. My name is Slarios. And I am a God. Capital G, capital O and definitely capital D. Got it? Cool. I am one of the Heraclides, the mightiest group of deities this side of the cosmos. Currently, I am standing in deep space, watching over the Event Horizon near a mighty star system. All around me, darkness and light are battling it out. A solar sys...
Note to readers: there is no sex in this chapter but I hope you find the last chapter of The Non-Standard Man exciting anyway. ******** Chapter 20-The RIB To The Rescue I couldn't sleep and I missed Andrew fiercely. With that and multiple bathroom trips during the night I was an exhausted wreck when I dragged my butt out of bed. Roger looked no better....
Roger sat beside me in the limo on the way back from my old offices deep in thought. I sat there, hands on my knees staring ahead going over the next part of my plans in my head. We were sharing the same space but couldn't be farther apart. "I do love him," Roger said suddenly. "I never thought I'd say that about anyone. He's just so-" His voice trailed off...
It's only been one hour since the nice lady dropped off the package. She told you that you had helped her when no one else would, but at the cost of the memories of who, and what, you used to be.

My stomach grumbled, and I wondered why the limo hadn't arrived. I looked out the window once more. "You should sit and rest, Evaline. You are not getting the right nutrition, or water. A lack of rest could only hurt." "I'm fine," I said. "It's not the first time I've been hungry." "Yes, but your baby has not been hungry." I laughed. "I don't have a bab...
The beginning of the end of my humanity started with an ancient game of cards called "Poker." It had been about three months since Jenifer had left me and the thought of spending my off hours alone in my cabin was depressing, so when I was invited to join a game, I readily accepted. I was the lead Operations Engineer for Hexagon Energyne, which had been con...
My eyes opened, blinking against the light coming from a window to my left. I lay on the couch with several musty blankets covering me. My feet hit ice-cold floors when I moved them off the couch. Immediately I wrapped my feet in the blankets again. I looked around getting a better view than the previous evening. We were in a house, obviously abandoned for...
They may appear mechanical at first, as they wake with jerky movements. But they are not mechanical, they are sentient. They are human. And they worship their Princess. The jerky movements are involuntary, the result of the strange process by which they are alerted to the dawn. The Princess does not like to be woken by loud or sudden noises so she has no al...
There is no sex in this chapter. After our conversation with Roger's mother, no one felt like finishing their food.

We glumly stood and walked to the doors, our security...
