Starfinder

Posted on February 27, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

The people of the Milky Way sent me out into the intergalactic void in search of hope. I have been on my journey for many thousands of years travelling at a speed unimaginable, I can only guess how much time they’ve waited for me, for us, for the hope of new life… millions of years,…

Hadopelagic

I was part of the team, we had been looking for funding for years before that, and one day, just like that, an anonymous donation came in. We didn’t know where it came from. We tried, we reached out… but I suppose the person or organisation wanted to remain out of the public’s eye. After…

Planet Hopping

Posted on February 20, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

It wasn’t my first time planet-hopping, but it was my first time in a world engulfed completely in water. A friend of mine had teleported to it a few months back and never told anyone about it. Not even the government knew of its existence. He said it was the most fun he had ever…

I Love You Not

Posted on February 20, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

“I love you.” Andie looked away through the observatory window in the ship. Out there the stars shined bright, they shined despite his impending doom. How could they? He looked at the star they were approaching, a blue supergiant. He didn’t know how much the ship would last absorbing the radiation, before it melted or…

Another Time

Posted on February 19, 2014April 3, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

“So, what’s it gonna be?” Eric’s mind raced with the possibilities he had contemplated, if he was sent back to study the past he would most likely die of disease, or he’d die of a horrible infection when he stubbed his toe on a huge wooden table. He wouldn’t be able to trust anyone, he’d…

Journey to the End of the Universe

Posted on February 14, 2014May 8, 2017 by Leon de la Garza

  Tim sat in his living room in silence, listening to phone ring in his hand. Why did people feel compelled to stop him? Was the decision not his? Had he no right to want something that much? Did he somehow break a moral rule he was unaware of? The phone stopped ringing. It was…

The Interstellar Orchestra

Posted on February 6, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

“Do you hear that?” “No…” “Listen. Close your eyes and listen, pay attention to the silence… Do you hear it?” Fara closed her eyes as instructed and took a deep breath. She listened to the silence of the night, and she realized the silence was not absolute, it contained sounds. First she heard the most…

The Wait

Posted on February 5, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

We were left behind during the Earth’s evacuation fourteen years ago. There just wasn’t enough room on the ship. We received radio communication from the Genesis that they would come back for us as it exited the atmosphere. That was the last I’d seen of them. A trail of smoke going up into the sky….

The Old Playground

Posted on February 3, 2014April 3, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

Jacob watched the news half-asleep on his anti-gravity couch with a beer between his legs. His mind raced with the thoughts of his unfinished report at his job, of his wife’s trip to New Angeles, of his dog’s recent demise and every other unimportant event in his life. His preferred method of falling asleep was…
