They Said Humans Would Not Survive

Posted on July 14, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

“Do you know what people said back then?” “What?” “They said humans would not survive.” “Really? Why did they say that?” “I don’t know. It’s hard to imagine being alive back then. Problems must have seemed insurmountable to them. I suppose they saw their end around every corner, with each new sign of trouble, with…

A Polite Stranger

Posted on June 23, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

I have been travelling the galaxy looking for a new home. Thousands of us volunteered. We scanned the planets, we scanned the stars and when we were done, we moved on to the next. There are no days or nights here. There is always darkness. A darkness so deep that even myriad stars can’t rid…

Conversations of Zenitar: Rita & Leon

Posted on June 19, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

Part One ”It‘s such a pretty view” Rita sat silent on the edge of the roof of the 200 story building with her feet dangling over it. The wind swayed her dark hair in a rhythmic manner and she took a deep breath of it and tasted the dirt that flew with it. ”Do you…

The Astro-Princess

It was in a universe before our universe. It was in a far away world of a far away galaxy. It was the humans’ third emergence from the soup of the ground, it was the first time they had escaped their world and the first time they explored the vastness of the cosmos. People were…

Janitor

Posted on May 14, 2014April 2, 2015 by Leon de la Garza

There is a place in this ship that few people know about and that I like to visit. It’s hidden below the storage area in the back, near where June and Boid go and kiss themselves when the lights go off; They don’t know that’s where I spend the nights, they don’t know I watch…

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,…

I had been aboard the Skylight for months, I had travelled countless light years. We were on our way down to their planet to finally meet the leader of our unexpected benefactors. Their planet we called The Aurora. Its atmosphere and magnetic field interacted with the winds from their star in such a manner that…

I was assigned to a case of drug smuggling that was going on from Lunar District 3 to Earth. I had been on the case for about 7 months when this happened. I left my home in downtown New Angeles at 11 AM. The day started off with heavy rain and thunder. I took my…

“Exploring isn’t what it used to be” said Bob, “they used to pay us to get out there and find stuff, pay us good, I remember when good ol’ Pat found that icy asteroid. Shit, they paid him a ton.” He paused, and sighed. “Now nobody cares about those things, I loved it though, and…

Last night we were attacked. As you can see I didn’t fare so well either, the bastards got us good. Today I need all of us to get our minds together and think of a way out of this, we must plan a counter attack, and reinforce our defense positions. Charles, you’ll be in charge…
