Naven and Gia waited anxiously in the control room of spaceship Xenesis. They were the last remaining rebels in the fleet. They were the splinter in the fabric of peace and order.

I was born in the 3024. Today’s choice is the first real choice I have ever made. The times were not fit for liberty, the war with the Julians was at its terrible peak in violence. You probably think right now is pretty bad, but believe me. It was worse. I was born into the…

Upon the Second End

Posted on May 9, 2013April 3, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

Hasil and Bharma sat together at the control room. A small white room deep beneath the Earth. Under its mantle, under its tainted skies. Under the last remnants of a dying world in a sad alien future. “I don’t know how long we’ll be able to keep this up. When will we know it worked?”,…

The day it happened.. it was about 20 years ago. We were both little kids. None of us had common sense. We loved it. There was this one time when something interesting happened. We had been hitting bullets with a hammer that day in the corner of the barn, but we saved the last for…

Nate and Isiah where sitting in an 19th century styled bar sipping at their drinks, glancing over their shoulders at the shadows. “I know what it is”, said Nate, his tired face seemed pasted on his head, “I know what they are”. “Well tell me then, I haven’t been able to sleep well in days….

It was Dan’s 15 minute break and he was sitting at his desk slacking. His day at the Singularity Research Institute was not going well. So far nobody had told him who he would be assisting and he felt useless just browsing through the internet. He sighed and accidentally dropped a pen he had been…

The sea soldiers’ 7th platoon was getting ready to take back the west coast. The squid from space had overrun most of the beaches, they knew they were strategic positions.
