I am writing this on Monday, the 16th of September 2013, at 13:13. This will be the last time I leave a record of my life here. I am done with my current life, I cannot bear it anymore. Most people to read this won’t believe what I‘m about to write. I’m going to describe…
Fading Eyes
”Take me out” ”Take me out one last time” Ian looked down at her thin frail body. Her skin seemed indistinguishable from the sheets on her bed, pale, soft, wrinkled. The smell of antibiotics filled the air in the room and the continuous sound of the monitors pierced his ears. He looked at the…

The year is 89:233. I am part of a thirty man team that was sent to this planet to begin terraformation and preparations for colonization. Overpopulation of the planet Gliese-1239 was nearing inhospitable conditions and our services were hired by their government. Two days ago, after setting up our camp me and my team began…
The Other Reality
To whom it may concern: I began experimenting with deep sleep consciousness at a very young age. I began with lucid dreaming. The freedom you have when in such state is overwhelming, exhilarating. The mind can go to any place or any time, it can create anything and anyone. It has control of everything. You…
Nanites
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. Gia turned to the floor, watching the secret hatch beneath the operating center. “I’ll be alone Naven”, she said, “Maybe we should just…
Free Man
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
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?”,…
Burning Through the Sky
Wake up. The darkness in my eyes was impenetrable. The weight of my mind was inmesurable. The silence, perfect. Wake up! A rush of adrenaline shot through my body. My eyes burst open, my heart pounded like a angry gorilla. I found myself free falling through the atmosphere of a red planet. Was I back…
The Rusty Safe
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…
Vices of a Lonely Man
I had been sitting in my quarters watching the roof, counting the number of stains on it. I was supposed to be out in the engine room. The backup cooling system had been acting up lately, and I meant to fix it. I knew it wasn’t urgent, it was after all the backup system. I…
