Subgalaxia: Ch 22

Ishan stepped into a closet sized bedroom stuffed with a bunk bed, a dresser, and a crate of worn toys.  The sun cast orange rays on the brown shag carpet. Greasy wood paneling held onto the nauseating scent of tobacco.  Laughter alerted him to the door behind him. He eased the warm brass handle to…

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…

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 15

“Aggressive fear and anger, followed by meditation, and then – let’s just call it joy shall we?  You need a graph similar to that,” Fane pointed at the paper in disdain as the group stood around him on the jump deck in the ship.  He was stripped down to little more than a pair of…

Fyskar: Ch 26

“My father will not be amused. We should be in the hall waiting for his arrival. Is the bird necessary?” Mirza motioned Eoin, Seonaid, Fearchar and the servant through one of the many rooms leading away from the feast. “You and your flock.” My partners are essential to this. If you’re going to let me…

Fyskar: Ch 24

Clothes lay scattered about Mirza’s room. Eoin, exhausted as he was, woke to a low sun. He lay spread out on the prince’s bench, rugs having been moved to leave him bare to the cold tile. Mirza’s mantle blanketed across him protectively. Fearchar lay asleep on his wife’s lap on the floor. His hair had…

Fyskar: Ch 22

Snow and ice dripped from thatch eaves, creating slick, muddy tracks in the melt. Rodney’s birlinn docked on the second day of frost break. Thin sheets of ice dances around the hull, squeaking a thin tune over the thunk of wood and slap of rope. Gulls cried in a clear morning, greeting a pale pink…

Polaris Skies: Ch 33 – Final Chapter

They were able to locate an old map of Florgia, long-forgotten behind a convenience store shelf in Pensacola. It proved to be useful in getting them past Tallahassee and Gainesville. Their anticipation and fear rose as they passed by Ocala on 75. It had been completely decimated from incendiaries. Fear prickled as they wondered if…

Subgalaxia: Ch 9

Breathing hard, the three found themselves back on Bern’s beach.  Bern wasn’t ready for it when Ishan barreled toward him, catching him in the jaw with a hard right hook.  It threw the connection and Bern, Fane, and Ishan tumbled back onto the grass outside of the warehouse. Corbin and Sophia, sitting next to them,…
