Saludos, seguidores: Estaba sentado en la cafetería, meditando sobre mi futuro. Era medianoche y no había más clientes aparte de mí en el local. Si exceptuamos a la camarera, una mujer de mediana edad que me miraba con curiosidad. Me habían vuelto a rechazar en un casting para una película, y ni siguiera era para un papel principal, o secundario. No era más...
The Real Agenda and Musings of the Past. Prince Elian Augustin, originally fourth in line to inherit and oversee the 'prestigious' Augustin shipyards, a massive collection of docks and maintenance facilities around a large asteroid called 'The Novias Magastus', stood silently outside the transit carriage that bought him to his laboratory. He stood still fo...
Author's note: This is actually an older story I've been playing about with for some time. I suppose that submitting it will work to stop me tinkering with it endlessly. Just a few quick notes: Russian names as they appear in this story have three parts: a given name, a patronymic derived from the father's name and a family name. Likewise, the given name o...
"I now pronounce you man and wife." Zachary Crane applauded with the others as Meredith Trinette Levine—well, Meredith Trinette Chambers now—threw her arms around her husband and kissed him soundly. Across the dais, Christa Sternbacher grinned, clapping as best she could around her bridesmaid's bouquet; behind her, Arie had simply tucked hers un...
This was my initiation. This was my awakening. The car wreck had jarred my memory. Things were fuzzy, unclear... but then it started to come back to me. Was it a past life or memories of this life? There she stood across the cold stone chamber of the castle at the bottom of the stairs, there at the great banquet hall in the castle we call home. Anna, th...
Bridge. "Status report!" the giant warrior in blue armor asked the members of the bridge. The heavy servos of the armour whirred with every movement. The two-headed eagle on the chest plate was made of solid gold while the rest of the armor was in a soft blue. The warrior, who held his helmet under his arm, towered above the man in the golden chair...
7. Lady Primrose's Earrings As he and Sage made their way to the Crimson Mountain, Don was acutely aware of their impending separation, and the fact that they might remain apart for quite some time. Accordingly, he made sure they had a variety of plans for meeting up, if possible, leaving messages, when the opportunity presented itself, etc. Passing through...
Dietrich stood on the bridge of the Trotzig, a Battle Barge in the service of the Hammers of Defiance. He looked out into the void and frowned, today was not going to be the easiest day in the ancient Marine's life or service. He frowns to himself and looks across the bridge of the 8.2km ship. It had the full compliment of 3 entire companies of his Hammers,...
Book Two "The Succubus made me do it." Reported Jim Caldwell, the local Trekkie/Area-51/UFOlogist conspiracy nut. "You shouldn't read that trash, Jimmy." Admonished the prim, proper, flat-chested Sarah. Adjusting the tight bun of her graying hair, to maintain as much dignity as was possible in a supermarket checkout-lane. "That's just what they want you t...
UNICORN OF THE APOCALYPSE October 23rd, 2076 One Year Ago There were so many questions I didn't ask. No time. I didn't stop to ponder how a zombie could have gotten past the decon systems, through the walls, or any of the doors. Why the cameras didn't notice him/it. Nor did I ponder the sole logical explanation. Zombie. Here, now. Years of hard-wired r...
