Sunset: Heroes of the Milky Way (Chapter 13)

Clayton Knight   A New Alliance There are some good things and some bad things to the whole, sun form. That’s what I call it anyway. It fuels me with what feels like infinite power, and infinite confidence. I’ll do things and act in a way I most certainly wouldn’t if my brain was solid […]

“When have we ever been lucky? Lucilla Indu Nero,  448 A.C.A. “I fucking hate tunnels, I hate rocks, I hate stupid tunnel echos, I hate nasty swampy smells, I fucking hate them!” Lucy screamed as she stumbled into the light.  She and Astrid had been walking so long that the pirate had begun to believe […]

Sunset: Heroes of the Milky Way (Chapter 10)

Clayton Knight There Will be Blood I’ve seen a lot of wacky things in this short life of mine. Never a giant drill.  When I turn around, I do for the first time. The drill is the size of a hallway, and that’s when it stops spinning.  It gets even bigger when it opens outwards […]

Sunset: Heroes of the Milky Way (Chapter 6)

Aleti Ra’non Forced Missteps However it may seem, I am deeply interested in Human culture. They’re the only known sentient species who have not been offered a place among the stars. Why wouldn’t a scholar like myself be curious as to what Humans are like? The first step into figuring out this mystery, would be […]

Damaged Hideo TriVi Die-Ve Eron The sun’s rays burn my skin. I’m meant for nocturnal life, as are the rest of my people, but we still have to push on. I have to walk the barren and steaming deserts to the frozen part of Acoustica that always faces away from the sun, where the water […]

Okay, a lot of times literally, but we’re strictly talking figuratively today… mostly. When I say break your characters, I mean […]
