Super Parent
He sat carefully down on the massive leather couch in front of the 80 inch TV that apparently had the latest Motorcross race on a loop, and with one ear he listened to his daughter mutter about the third curve again and again while blaming her missing coach, a missing uncle that she didn't know …

Earth – Universe 999, December 2, 2157 Her breath pounded in her ears, seeming to echo in the helmet like the roar of a tornado. Watch for shadows that move! Hah. Jesus, she felt out of shape, and then she saw it out of the corner of her eye, twisting to her left, she fired …

Tension
We were safely ensconsced in the "sultan's" suite of rooms. We were supposed to rest, while Toradoth had slipped out of the inn to gather intelligence on how in the Fates we were going to get into the palace and meet with the rumored incarnation of Creation. Our plan was limited, get their and convince …
A Past Future, Again — An Alliance Alternate World Story
He blinked. Pain radiated out from the light recepters, a pain so constant, so low, that it no longer registered consciously, the blink a habit as minute fluctuations from a crewmember's screen registered out of the corner of his left eye. He breathed in, and out, the rhythym the constant focus of years of training, …

Seeking Calm
He hit pause on the DVD, the screen: "There are people who will fight you. Stop you." "In an hour you won't want them to." Perhaps, Invasion of the Body Snatchers had been a poor choice to calm his mind, but it had always been one of his favorites. He turned the television and DVD …

Relief
He'd told them to rest for a few hours, until dinner later that evening. He should probably get to know his new unit better, but he'd never been any good at that sort of thing. He could feel the adrenaline crash coming. The last two days had been.....insane, but the three of them had survived. …

A Dreamer’s Instinct, Part II
She leaned back into him, standing comfortably with his arms wrapped around her, his head resting on her shoulder, the brunette hair still occasionally strange to him, but the scents wafting from her head and shoulders eased his troubled mind. He still could never find the words to describe scents the way his reptilian organs …
A Dreamer’s Pain, Part I
The rage burned through the reflection of the yellow eyes visible underneath the mask, the flickers of purple as the teleportation spell took hold, depositing them on the mark Spyder had painted on the floor so long ago. For just a moment, irony distracted him, the wave of purple magic jumbling with the purple tint …
Out of Sight, Out of Mind…..Maybe
They walked slowly to the guest house, following one of the family ushers. As usual, he couldn't get out of his own mind. "Are ya sure ya don't want to go back home to our rooms, we've been gone a long time?" She slurred the words a bit as she placed her hand on his …
