Subgalaxia: Ch 21

“What?” Fane opened the door to Sophia’s banging as Ishan pulled his kurta on.  Sophia tripped forward through the door frame, startled at the sudden change. Ishan tossed the black compression top to Fane. “The orb connected fully!” she boasted excitedly.  Fane pulled his shirt on over his head as he raised a suspicious eyebrow…

Skull Dansuer: Ch 4

Reassembled and significantly more comfortable with my particular predicament in life, I lost myself in the strangeness of the forest before Rowan came back to find out why I was whirling around in the undergrowth. Manders were not the only unusual creatures I ran into in the woods. Eyes blinked and glowed through the various…

Subgalaxia: Ch 20 – NSFW

NSFW: Erotica Fane collapsed onto the bed in his and Ishan’s room.  They had returned to the warehouse when Bern had released him.  He had thrown himself through a shower, brushed his teeth, and pulled one of the more creative mechanics off the shop floor to lop off his locks.  He ran a hand through…

Subgalaxia: Ch 19

Lights played across the fogged-up back windows of the car.  It smelled of cheap spirits and cigarette smoke. He was curled up under a thin blanket.  He had kicked off his shoes, and his toes were cold from the holes in his crusty socks. Melody had finally relented and let him use her as a…

Subgalaxia: Ch 18

“Labrat!  Grab you’re sticky dots and your laptop.” Fane leaned into Sophia’s office.  Sophia, as usual, was buried up to her shoulders in charts and reports.

Morning felt like it came too early.  Though the artificial sun indicated it was six, I still bemoaned the night going by too quickly.  My neck ached from not moving.  I had been tired.  After my lashing out from the day before, I was guaranteed to be exhausted.  The shower did little to ease the…

Life of a Librarian: Ch 11

I dropped my bags next to the shoe rack when the door clicked behind us.  A sigh escaped me as I relaxed into the gentle light of the setting sun in the courtyard.  This had to be one of the more beautiful times of day to see the apartment. Sylwyn dropped a stack of mail…

Life of a Librarian: Ch 10

“A little Simil for a big Simil?” I posited to the Mad Hatter. “Benefit the system, and the system benefits you.” He plucked at a grape.  It slipped past his fork to roll to the other side of his plate. Baffled disappointment creased his features. “What can I do for the Chair, and what can…
