2184 A.D.
1.5 million miles from Earth, a large grey ship glides silently through the depths of space, carrying its slumbering cargo of passengers and supplies towards a newly verdant planet. The ship, The Eden, had left the overpopulated and polluted Earth 48 years earlier, the intrepid passengers volunteering to enter cryogenic sleep as the ship, piloted by its computers, shot through the silent depths of space towards mankind's greatest achievement. To create life had always been considered to be mankind's greatest accomplishment, the ability to re-create an entire planet, turning a lifeless rock and converting it to a vibrant life supporting planet, had seemed incredible, an impossible dream that somehow had become reality. Now, 750 colonists slept as they were transported to their new home, the brand new planet of Genesis.
The colonists were composed of people with the skills and knowledge deemed necessary to survive, scientists, engineers, and their families. The journey through the stars and the building of a new world, a new civilization, had filled the population of Earth with hope, the dream that this single journey would spark a new era for mankind. An era free of overcrowding, food shortages, epic illness, a halcyon era that perhaps was now within their reach was the common dream... until the dream turned into a nightmare in the silent depths of space.
The first moment Evan realized that something was wrong, drastically wrong, was when the claxon of the alarm filled his cryo chamber, the red haze of the flashing emergency lights penetrating his slowly opening eyes. He shouldn't be hearing the alarm, the lights and the emergency should have been dealt with long before he was awoken. The crew should have dealt with any emergency, any trouble before he as one of the youngest passengers was brought of cryogenic sleep. At nineteen, Evan was definitely one of the younger colonist, his sister Abigail perhaps the only other passenger of the Eden that was his junior, so if he was hearing the alarm as he awoke, something was seriously wrong. The procedure was for the computer to awaken the senior most crew and passengers first, the ones who had the training and experience to deal with whatever crisis could be occurring before awakening the rest of the passengers, moving through the banks of cryo chambers, deactivating them by seniority. Worry crossed Evan's brow as he waited for the familiar hissing sound of the chamber depressurizing, the heavy glass and steel lid sliding back to free him from his drug induced and computer supervised slumber.
As he sat up, Even expected to see the narrow corridor between the cryo chambers crowded with newly awakening passengers, his friends and family all milling about as they tried to shake off the last of the cryo sleep. The worried frown on his face deepened as he looked up and down the deserted corridor, his eyes running over the multitude of silent and sealed chambers. It was only after a few moments of disoriented gazing that the truth of the situation finally hit Evan. His gaze stopped on the red indicator light on top of the cryo chamber beside his, the meaning of the solid red light hitting him like a blow in the pit of his stomach as his eyes darted to the next chamber, hoping and praying to see the green light that indicated life. All up and down the corridor, Evan saw the same damning red light, the indicator that the occupant of each chamber had died, that somehow technology had failed, robbing all of the passengers of their lives. With growing panic, Evan climbed out of his cryo chamber, shivering in the cold corridor as he hurriedly paced along the chambers, his eyes fixed only on the indicator lights, his mind not wanting to accept the realization that in each of these chambers lay one of his fellow passengers, his friends, his family...
He was so filled with despair that he almost missed the green light atop the chamber on the other side of his, his eyes skipping over it several times as he felt the panic and loneliness building within him. It was only the faint sibilant hiss of the chamber depressurizing that drew Evan's attention. His heart in his throat, Evan hurried to the chamber, holding his breath as he looked through the thick frosted glass at it's occupant.
As she walked down the street, she reflected on the last few years development. She had always been sceptical about politician, but if there was one thing she was certain about, it was that the ?New Front? could not be all bad. Since they had landed on earth, and explained, in such a plausible manner, their striking resemblance with humans, they had managed to create world peace, get rid of all pollution, reverse the glass house effect, and divide earth's resources equally, and in a way that...

PREVIOUSLY, ON BRAVE NEW WORLD: It was a normal day when dozens around the world became Chosen, beings granted supernatural powers and a brand new form. On such Chosen named Charlie Harkins sought thrills beyond her imagination, and became the superhero known as ARACHNYA. On her first attempt at superheroing, she met another young Chosen named Frank Holden, who became SEEKER. Together, they foiled a bank robbery where a kidnapped Chosen named Monica Montoya, also known as QUAKE, the...
I wasn't drunk enough. There was only two of Bill instead of the twelve I wanted. I could probably still drive like this, though I wasn't going to. The bartender had already taken my keys. Maybe just a few more and I'll be out cold. Bill was no help. He was my landlord, the guy I paid to keep living in my apartment with my fa... With my daughter. I forgot. I don't really have much family anymore, since my wife left and took our youngest with her. Thanks Melissa. I can't even get drunk...
From 'The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper' ~ "The summer of 1890 was to be the start of my new life. At fifteen years of age, I was to be presented to society and I had expected that I would then be considered an adult. That, at long last, I would have a say in my own life, my own destiny. That was not to be, though. I was still just a doll to be dressed and used as decoration in the home of my powerful parents. I was made up and dressed and used to impress the visitors who came...

When did I, the spider-powered teenage daughter who hasn't really gotten along with her mother since the moment she became the spider-powered teenage daughter become her mother's messenger? When?

It was the year 2001. 15-year-old Newt looked at himself in the mirror. He could see some of his mother Laverne’s African American features looking back, but also blue eyes and a lighter skin tone that must have come from his unknown father. He growled, angry. Why didn’t his mom ever tell him who his father was? Her insistence that she didn’t know didn’t make any sense! She said that Newt didn’t look like who she thought his father was, and she hadn’t been with any blue-eyed white boys. His...
From 'The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper' ~ "Langdon Beech-Thorndyke III was 'a catch.' Mother and Father thought that he would be a perfect match for me. He was twenty three and I was fifteen. My parents hoped that we would become betrothed that summer and then a grandiose wedding would follow in three years after I turned eighteen. This was my sister's summer, though. Miranda would be married in August to a Vanderbilt cousin who she barely knew. The opulent affair...

The Journey As the stage-coach rumbled and bumped on its bone-shaking way on the seventh morning since she left New York, Becky wondered if her poor bottom would ever be comfortable again. The journey had been bruising to her twenty-year-old body in a way that nothing in her whole life had been, and even the prospect of marrying in the next few hours did not loom large in her shaken mind. It had all started when her parents died some five...
From 'The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper' ~ "Beauty comes from pain, Louisa. A proper young woman does not present herself unless she is properly coiffed, properly made-up, properly attired and wearing the proper accoutrements. That, Louisa, is what 'proper' means." Of course, I tried to argue. That is, after all, what an adolescent is supposed to do, but my mother would just purse her lips, shake her head in disgust and repeat that one sentence that she spoke most frequently...
From 'The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper of New York and Newport' ~ "The day of Miranda's wedding was cloudy and overcast, so perhaps Aunt Ada had been correct. Perhaps God would not waste a beautiful day on a wedding that would lead to a loveless marriage. Instead of using the vast tents that had been erected on the lawns at Golden Bluffs, everything was moved into our grand ballroom, which was large, but could not accommodate everyone who'd been invited. So, tables were also...
From 'The Autobiography of Miss Louisa Harper' ~ "The week prior to Miranda's wedding was a hectic and crowded one at Golden Bluffs. All of our relations came to Newport for the event and many of them stayed with us. Unfortunately, we also had many friends and business associates staying as well, which did lead to some difficult choices. Father was a self-made man who had family he wanted in attendance, but they were from a lower rung of society. So, since the rooms were assigned to...
And so, one day, I woke up to find myself smack dab in the middle of a comic book. I had a few odd sensations that day, beginning with waking to find something that obviously wasn't human standing above me on my bed. It looked human, sounded human, but very clearly wasn't human. The creature was a young woman, looking to be about twenty-six or twenty- seven. She reached down with one hand and touched me on the forehead. She giggled, then stood back up again. "You have been chosen,"...
I once read a poem that stated, “This the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.” It is not an entirely inaccurate description of the way my world ended. Though there wasn’t even the sound of a whimper to announce it. There used to be fears of a Nuclear War, Global Warming, Super-Viruses, and many other calamities man-made or otherwise that would destroy civilization, destroy the human race. All those fears were unfounded. There was no great disaster that destroyed society....
I sighed. My first actual day on the job, yay! I mean, I was paid for the day I got hired, but this was my first real shift, spending six hours trudging around the city with Ms. Adamsen, or at the office. This was to be a special occasion, however, we were on our way to the offices of one Mr. Gustav Hammond, a multi-billionaire who just moved his headquarters to East City. No super heroing tonight, though. I actually had to put in a full shift at the Brigade. "Okay, Charlie," Ms....
Peter, Brandon, Colin and Monica were already in the pool by the time I arrived, but I didn't get in the water. I couldn't get in the water. Of course, that didn't stop Peter from trying to splash me. Lucky me, I can take a little water without juicing everything. I sat down on the pool chair and just started to read. That was when Peter decided to splash some more water at me. Ugh! I lowered my book and took off my sunglasses. "Hey, c'mon! You, quit it!" "Why don't you get in the...
"I'm swingin' in the rain! I'm swingin' in the rain!" I sang as I swung through, well, the rain. Sure, my suit was incredibly wet, but it was still fun to swing through the rain, on my way to beat up some bad guys who thought a thunderstorm was the best time to rob liquor stores or gas stations or... Apparently, comic book shops. I landed on the wall of the building, which the two crooks took no notice off and watched as they loaded up their van with boxes upon boxes of comic books....
My friends among the group always asked me, "Why Batman?" They've wanted to know why, of all the normal human heroes in comics, I picked Batman to base myself off of, and I never gave them an answer. I couldn't give them an answer. There was one, but it wasn't one that even I knew yet. I liked it that way. It kept me looking for answers as opposed to knowing them all. The only one that actually seemed to know anything about me aside from my public image was Angel, thanks to her gifts. I...
I couldn't help but stare at her, lying there in my bed, her baby brother crying just a few feet away. I wanted to cry. My daughter wasn't talking to me at all, hadn't spoken to me at all in the two days since she her father's funeral, and I knew exactly why. I simply stood in the doorway and held her book bag out for her. "C'mon, Charlie, it's time for school," I said, my voice soft. I hoped she heard me. Lucky me, she did. "Go away, Mom. I don't feel good." I sighed. "Please,...
"Must be that spider-DNA, kid, you're healing faster than most people do," the doctor said to me as he looked over my torso and then at my chart, almost as if in embarrassment. Granted, he was looking at a rather attractive sixteen year old girl, and he was old enough to be my father, so he could very well have thought this somewhat inappropriate. "Three days and you're ready to head back out there." I slipped my shirt back over my head. It stung a little, but that was because I was...
We entered the outmost orbit of the Dover System ten hours before the deadline. Har-Hi who stood next to me sighed. “I wished it would have taken longer. This is what I am born for, to be aboard a ship and roam the stars’”. I felt the same way and agreed with him, saying. “Me too.” The doors opened and Wetmouth stepped through, taking her seat behind the small science station at the rear of the bridge. I observed Har Hi who acted as the OPS officer of our little crew dedicating sensors...

Swinger3rd Jexeter 60, New Earth calendar 24th August 3274, Earth calendar My name is Francis Milner. Francis, not Frances, and anyone who tries to say otherwise is liable to get a bunch of fives right on the jaw. The problem is, my hand and arm wouldn't be able to deliver the blow with anything like the force my brain expected them to. The blame for that lies firmly with the reason people are inclined to misspell my name. I really don't expect that a single living soul would be interested...
Bravehunt Goes to Spacy's (revised)An Illustrated Story by C (Warning: plump girls and one brief underage episode)Bravehunt was a young male faycat, whose parents had named him more optimistically than accurately. As it turned out, he could catch what he had to in order to live, but he wasn't going to stop the kitty presses any day soon with courageous exploits. Then one day, Bravehunt saw a very special fairy indeed: a Full-Bodied Landfay of fuller than usual proportions. He was loitering in...
"What exactly do you mean, Mr. Saul?" Dad asked, not even caring how increasingly red-faced I was getting listening to this whole thing. "I didn't mean anything, I was just saying that -" "You were just saying that my police force is useless now that there are super heroes on the scene, right?" Dad leaned forward in his seat. "That's not exactly something I like to hear, I hope you know." I felt like I was about to die. There was Timmy - sweet, good-natured, innocent,...
I felt my hand close over Brandon's face and suddenly I saw things, memories. That time I was playing baseball in the backyard with the neighborhood boys, even though Mom told me not to. (No! That's Brandon's memory!) The time I almost lost my virginity to Max Peterson, even though I thought he was the weirdest boy in school. (I'm only fourteen, I've barely ever masturbated!) I stepped back from Brandon's lifeless body and fell on my ass. Why did I do that?! I stood up and ran into the...
The most important room in the White House existed in the building's West Wing, made iconically famous in the television series of the same name. The room earned its name by its shape, and thus it was called the Oval Office. At one side, in front of a grouping of windows, sat a large desk with more papers atop it than any man cared to believe he could have piled on his desk. Just slightly off center was a grouping of couches, maybe a couple chairs, and a small coffee table, around...
We all had a good night’s sleep and used one of our own Cargo skimmers that was part of the Destroyers equipment to fly back instead of walking and were told to join all the other cadets in a large assembly hall with flags of the Union hanging from the ceiling where I estimated perhaps 600 senior Cadets had gathered. There were no chairs, everyone was standing. At one end of the assembly hall was a raised platform and a lectern with the Newport Academy logo. I saw an Admiral coming in. I...

BREAST NEW WORLD by Roy Del Frink CHAPTER 1: 20th Century Prelude Now that Biggest Brother is no longer a threat, I can now tell you my life story. I was born with the name Leeland Malcolm Throckbottom III in August 1974. I was an only child. My parents, Leeland Malcolm Throckbottom Jr. and Marcia Pruella Souder-Throckbottom, were both born into wealthy families. Naturally, I stood to inherit a fortune. I also had the brains to go far; I tested with an IQ of 175. I was...
Authors note: First off, all persons in this story are 18 years of age or older. I like to describe young adults with girl or boy rather than young woman or young man. This story happens many years after the events of my stories "Chosen" and "A (porn) star is born". There will be references to events and characters from these two stories, so if you are unfamiliar with the two stories, I recommend checking them out before reading this story. I will add a chapter with character info, which may...
Mind ControlWe begin with a mini-montage of life in Newcastle-upon-Tyne ... A shot of Gray’s Monument, of the busy Eldon Square shopping center, St James’ Park football stadium, before we find ourselves in a busy street, looking up at an impressive, and very modern looking 5 story glass fronted building. We can see through the glass walls, seeing the staircases and offices inside. And then, stepping into frame from the side, trying not the block the architectural masterpiece – another masterpiece of...
MY NEW WORLD Chapter 1. I lay on my back on the bed, naked as the day I was born, my legs held up in slings. Sister, for that is what she was, leaned over me, smiling, as she slid her fingers over my breasts. "Now then," she murmured, "let us see how different we have made you." Her long red finger nails slid over my nipple and I felt it harden. I also felt something else harden. That was between my legs and was, unlike my breasts, something that I had been born with. Unable...
This part has no transformations in it. If you are looking for the purely transformational stuff, go to part 2. PART ONE: A STRANGE NEW WORLD --- "Man I'm going to fail this test." I looked up from my textbook. My roommate, Marcus was leaning back in his chair. He ran his fingers through his dirty blonde hair. I shrugged. We both knew that studying for this test was impossible. But we had to try to pass. "Don't be so negative!" Macy sat up from the floor. Her notes...

The bacteria amazingly ingrained itself into humanity makeup with easily with children born with it. It effect each race differently mostly regarding the sexes with a feminine...
InterracialA Brave New World By Jennifer Richardson I suppose that I was a pretty lonely soul. Having moved to London from one of the provincial cities to find work, I was surprised to find that for a city of millions of people, the capital was just as lonely a place to be. As a postgraduate with a good degree I'd been confidant of finding a lucrative job. As it turned out the companies I'd been applying to wanted both qualifications and experience, I had the former but not the latter...

Queen of the Underworld By Red_Elise "So what is it?" Sano asked, watching the necklace dangle before his eyes. "It's a ring, in case that fact escaped you." He inclined his head to Lina, looking at her curiously. "What is a ring doing on a necklace?" Lina's cheeks became flushed, but her embarrassment faded as she let her frustration get the better of her. "If you don't like it then give it back!" Sano looked at her with surprise before slipping the necklace over...

Along the Quayside, teaming with young bodies as the youth of the Toon move from pub to pub, barely wearing enough to protect them from the cold northern wind. Then we’re around the corner on a street with four story buildings on either side of a wide street, with plenty of pedestrian space infront of multiple pubs and clubs. Everyone looking very relieved that the lockdown is over and the party has...

Wife LoversShortly after returning to Zephyrus Sgt. Budzinski asked the AI, "How many did we get?" The AI responded, "There are 265 volunteers and 1467 concubines aboard the three ships bound for Azahar. Ninety-five pods on Zephyrus, ninety-two pods on Aurora, and ninety pods on Chronos have been allocated to sponsors. There are an unusually large number of children per concubine, and twelve very large families that need double pods for adequate space. One pod on each ship is being reserved for a...
Mark was still mortified the following day and called in sick rather than face his boss, Ezra DeZam. But DeZam surprised him, and came by his motel room to see how he was and to impart some important information to him. “Listen Mark, here in Monroe, some of us play it fast and loose. We have good reason for it. Other folks have tried to fit in here ... this climate sucks. We get torrential rain followed by floods and the humidity and heat are enough to drive you crazy.

Located at the edge of the Terminus Systems is the planet Koralia. Its snow-covered surface is often wracked by severe storms that makes travel inadvisable. Beneath the surface of Koralia is a city built from the remains of a massive mining facility that was abandoned centuries ago.

It is ruled by an albino Asari crimelord known as Queen Miris...
Cosmos looked across the worlds, across the timelines. Each was so full of life. Children played and laughed. Flocks of Chocobo ran across fields. She could also see the battles. Heroes of all kinds, fighting to save their worlds from threats both great and small. But they were in balance. She couldn't interfere. It was against the rules that both she and Chaos were bound by. Only when the balance was broken, could they dare to let their powers shine upon the worlds. That was just how things...
The next two months, until the War of the Worlds, passed rather quickly for James. He spent most of his time training his combat and practising forging and alchemy. The incident with the mercenary army spread far and wide, and the tickets that had been bought up for the war of the world started to find their way onto the black market or disappeared from the hands of the smaller factions that had managed to nab one at auction. The two nations of Soel and Hastoel were starting to flare up even...
He checked his steak and turned off the grill. He put his steak on a plate and took it to the living room. He sighed has he began watching the news in the dark. The newscaster was going on about some strange lights seen in the sky the past few nights and how astronomers were stumped as to what they could be. Allen shook his head because he could care less about such nonsense. There were enough problems on Earth to be dealt with as it is without us focusing on the sky. He slowly ate his steak...

Allen was reminded of those nights when he would be making burgers for his family then they would hang out together and play party games like charades or...
There are many worlds out there. Some are shining examples of science, allowing us to travel between the stars and meet new sentient species. Some worlds are pure magic, and the swords and sorcery of mankind constantly battle monsters that have long gone extinct in the worlds of science.

You find yourself in a blissful, yet pensive state of mind. You feel as though you're on the cusp of something big, yet can't quite put your finger on it. Your thoughts toss and tumble through various visual dreams. First you're inside a cozy room with friends. A glow of orange and yellow light quivers from behind the mantel and you all laugh together as someone draws a card before the image shifts again. This time you're in a Cathedral. Looming pillars and a high ceiling of black brick line...
(This is my first story on this site, please leave feedback so I know what you like and dislike) A throbbing headache, this was the first thing the people in the town square felt after waking up, quickly followed by confusion as they opened their eyes to look around and realize that they are no longer where they last remembered they were.

The New WorldBy BossDaddyThe year was 2034 and on a quiet April morning our world change… forever. News reports stated that NASA deep space satellites saw a large dark object on a path to earth. They watched it for weeks and at first thought it was a meteorite but they calculated that it was slowing down as it approached Earth. The day came when the object simply stopped between the moon and earth. Earths governments tried to communicate with the object but nothing happened. Then a few days...
It had been the Daily Mail that had first broken the news, shortly followed by all of the World’s media. During the Autumn, scorn had been poured upon the doomsayers who believed in the old Mayan prophecy, that this 400 year cycle was going to end in the destruction of the whole world. But those deriders had to eat their words when the news of the asteroid was broken, by a technician at Jodrell Bank who sold the story to the Mail. The world did indeed have only a few weeks more left, until...
Love StoriesIn blustery November the Janet Lune's luck improved. No more cases of dysentery developed although a few men still suffered chronic diarrhea and spent many mournful days in the neighborhood of the heads, standing at the rail on one foot and then the other and commiserating in a huddle of misery. After Clemence's burial many days passed without a death but at the month's end a foul odor led to the discovery of what was left of a small convict in the space where the anchor ropes were...
This character has nothing to do with the Isaac in Midnight Plush (q.v.). The idea for this story came in a dream, and that was his name in the dream, so I didn’t change it. This is the closest thing to a traditional short story I’ve submitted, and I would really like solid critique on it. Especially, did I do a good job of writing from a man’s point of view? Oh, and I guess I should state this explicitly, based on some so-called ‘feedback’ I’ve gotten on other stories: Everything I write is...
John Doe, one of the strangest summoners in the Akras Summoner's Hall. While he is quite skilled at summoning, managing to summon near-perfect replicas of the units, he barely ever takes credit for his acomplishments, preferring to remain in the shadows and use his units for "other purposes", whichever they may be. He is known to be good friends with leader of the Hall Grahdens, and they occasionally meet to do activities in his house, though no one, not even his co-leader Own, is aware of what...
