Alliance Day: Chapter III
Paragon Center, Alliance Memorial Park, November 5th, 2033 7:10 EST Red Widow eyea smiled, “My apologies Casey, I guess I’m a little invested in the final peace everyone has worked so hard to achieve, invested in the knowledge that all of the truths will finally come out so all the victims can hope for closure.” A pause, …
Alliance Day, Chapter II
Paragon Alliance Memorial Park, Crosswook, November 5th, 2033 6:30 PM EST She walked down the short ramp and turned towards the broadcast area. Whether it counted as irony or luck, maybe both, the abundant crowds swarmed the park during the warmth of the day, previous pattern analytics provided confident projections that the memorial had become just …
Alliance Day, Chapter I
New Ranger Base, Canadian Rockies, November 5th, 2033 Explosions rock the craft, shrill screams piercing the sound muting qualities of her helmet, she hits the quick release straps, climbing out of the cockpit, as the door slides open she sees it…..chaos, screaming, blood splatter everywhere, fights through the panicked students, bellowing…….”MUM!!!!!!” The scream echoes through the …
Shifting Sands
Port Hedland, Australia, Approximately Sixteen Years Ago It had been six months since she'd said yes, but he was leaving for Timor the next day.

The Sins of the Past
Frustration burned as he walked through the hallway towards his quarters, his home. He tried to bring up the security breaches in a logical way, but lost his temper. He hadn't meant to, but no one wanted to take security of the base seriously. They refused to listen, William especially refused to listen. Whenever …

Shimmers of Truth
The blood and gore had been difficult to remove. A shower long enough to scrub and scrub and scrub again would have gone long cold in a regular home. And yet, still the scalding heat poured down on my body, the steam condensing into clouds barely piercable by normal eyesight. After the water no …
A Nightmarish Truth
The monstrous former grizzy bear roared as it spun, far quicker than something of that size and weight should be able to move, and as it did, the electro-metallic parts piercing its bloody chest swung into few, complementing the metallic gleam of its unnatural claws. Perfect, his landing had distracted it from the …
Rage: The Duality of Love & Hate
He regretted it as soon as it left his hand. Mad as a cut snake. How the fuck was he supposed to compete for romanticism against a story of a proposal in space, viewing the Earth and saying whatever she wanted because he was a fucking Foster? So afraid when she said that he screwed …
