It was the middle of the afternoon as I scurried to my new life. Mistress had told me I had been sold to Lady Imanja,of The Pink Sleen. I had been given directions on how to find it and a firm swat on the rump to get me started.
My old home was breaking up and I was a little nervous about my new home. It took a strong man to name his place the Pink anything and I had already heard some stories about the place. For only being open a few weeks already over a dozen had been killed there.
The Pink Sleen is located in Victoria. As I neared the waterfront the buildings seem to get seedier and seedier. As I entered the wharf itself it seems that things got even worse. It comes as a real surprise to me when I saw this huge three story building rising up out of the mists on the wharf. I stopped and look as is seems to be cut from a lightwood and positively glows in the light as only highly polished wood will do. The Place was immense spanning almost 100 feet down the wharf. Not a likely place for what the sign seemed to indicate. Out front there is a sign of a Pink Sleen in a bunny outfit, carrying Paga. The roadway and the dock across from this building seemed to be made from pink colored bricks. How is it that this place survived here? I looked and could find no traces of vandalism or even neglect. I had heard it Rumored that the crème’ de la crème’ came here to unwind and talk business. This included the city officials as well as the hierarchy of the cities underworld.
As I turned to survey this oddity the first smells his me. I was expecting rot and sea but what filled my nostrils was roast bosk meat, and hot Sa-Tarna bread. I could almost taste it, it smelled so good. Despite myself, my little feet were drawn towards the door almost of their own accord. There were three stairs up to the door and as I slipped up them I realized they were white granite. At the top of the stairs were to batwing doors that required a second glance as well. They were some blond wood inlaid with brass sleens.
I peaked under the doors and the sight took my breath away. The interior of the inn was done in white granite and exotic wood. It was lit by small lanterns hung about the walls and on the tables. The light was dim but I could see the wood shine behind each lantern. As I peeked around the room my eyes widened as the sheer amount of space this place took up was unbelievable. The main room was nearly 200 feet across and about the same wide, dominated in the center by a sand pit that spans nearly 20 feet. The pit seemed to be ringed by Black granite inlaid with more brass sleens.
There were fifteen large temwood tables’ scattered about and twenty small ones including one in each of the four corners, just perfect for two warriors to sit at and keep their backs to the wall. Each table seemed to have it’s own pink larl fur. Next to the door was a huge box of pink pillows that looked very comfortable to sit on. Across the room I could see the entrance to the kitchen. The full wooden door looked very stout and swung easily on its hinges. As I sniffed could tell that’s where all the great smells were coming from.
To my right I could see the Owner and his abode. The area was covered in Black and purple pillows along with several larl furs and blankets. The pillows seem to span a good ten feet leading to the back wall where two large wooden levers extruded from the wall. To the left of his table sits the money chest. Even from the door I could see it chained to the floor. Just to the Tavern keepers right or my left was a large staircase going up to the second level. Each riser is easily one ah-il wide and made for very easy footing. Under the stairs were a pair of pink sleen. They restlessly strode back and forth in their cage watching the patrons of the tavern and not uttering a sound, it was scary. I melted swiftly to my knees, my golden hair sweeping forward to lay across the stones as I pressed my forehead to the floor.
‘May Lelani enter please.’
‘Come in Lelani.’ Replied Mistress Imanja as she smiled warmly towards the door.
As I looked up at the command of my new Mistress, a tall man strode by me into the inn, his face wrap covering all but his eyes. And he stopped two steps through the door to look round the peace strings on his sword were fastened.
‘Over to me lil one.’
‘Yes Mistress.’ I scurried underneath the batwing doors and rising my feet stood proudly before walking to kneel gracefully before my Mistress pressing my flawless thighs together.
‘Tal Kalanthis.’ Spoke up one of the inn’s other patrons.
‘Tal free, I am Kalanthis.’ The newcomer said casting a wary eye at the one who called his name before scowling at the girl who scurried by him.
‘How are the free today? And how are you Leland ‘ Kalanthis replied as the sauntered over down beside the patron who knew him by name. The two of them settled into a devout conversation only looking up occasionally to order a drink.
Lady Imanja uncurled from where she sitting and opens up her satchel, looked to the pretty girl and reaching out with her right hand lifted the girls chin up gently*
‘I will keep My word Lelani. Bal wanted you happy and safe.’ Imanja spoke slowly so that the slave would remember every word.
Lelani turned to gaze upon the man sitting with Kalanthis her eyes falling to his boots.
Leland grinned and mouthed a few reassuring words his tone carrying as little warmth as the ready string of words. Laughing as Imanja added
‘LeLand will tell You that I am not horrible and that the tavern is definitely a fun place to be, you just have to learn how to swipe Tay’s cookies’ Imanja grinned already envisioning the sleek ilttle slut slipping into the cookie jar.
Imanja took out the silks and the collar that she has been carrying for the two girls that she has been waiting for. As another walked into the tavern his cloak close about him eyes darkened from lack of sleep.
‘Tal Adrian Long time no see. Sorry about your loss’ Lealand spoke up always the first to speak.
‘Tal LeLand’ Came the tired response ‘and thank you’ Adrian moved over to collapse at the table with the men quickly ordering mulled ale the preference of those from a northern home.
‘Lift your hair lelani.’ Imanja commanded bringing the girls eyes back to focus on her.
The 19 year old slave reached up and gathers the heavy tresses in gentle palms, lifting them from her neck. Imanja’s fingers curl around the collar with the mark of the Tavern on it and smiling warmly she places the tavern collar around the girls neck, tying it and closing it tightly together with the little links and the leather pieces, knotting it securely. Imanja closed her eyes a moment feeling the ties on the old collar and removes them slowly making sure to remember how Bal told Her to get it off, pulling it free finally and holding it in Her hands. As the collar slipped round the girls neck her eyes close softly, soft pink lips part as she whispers.
‘Thank you Mistress’
Adrian watched this ceremony in silence his brow in turmoil as the words finaly found their way from his mouth. ‘Is NR gone?’
‘Yes,’ Imanja replied opening the package with the silks, pulling them free and showing them to the girl. The dark rich purple silks with the slit down the middle and with a slit up each side that would reach to her hips. She handed the girl the soft silk motioning her to put them on.
‘Joseki likes purple’ She murmured to the girl before turning her attention to Adrian. Teibar let a slave almost kill His intended free companion.
Adrian looked startled ‘So is He dead? Or gone.’
Imanja looks to Adrian her gaze hardening ‘Gone. Although many wish Him dead.’
Lelani growled at the mention of Tiebar her growl so soft it could only have reached Imanja’s ears and there it went ignored.
‘I am sure He is hiding somewhere just a matter of finding him’ Kalanthis volunteered as
he drained his paga and called for another.
LeLand still staring at the beautiful girl the rest of the bar obviously far from his mind turned to Imanja and with a serious cast to his face offered his opinion. ‘Hun I still think it is a mistake.. I like nakie slaves!’
‘Things always change when You are away for a period of time and it seems always for the worst and not all Men like nakie slaves they loose something when walking around naked all the time.’ Kalanthis observed from well into his cups his words slurring noticeably.
‘Yes, yes I know all Men like naked slaves.’ Imanja chided the men.
‘Are you glana or metaglana lelani?’ Imanja asked the girl ignoring the men as Lelani slips the silks over her body, feeling them caress her soft skin, smoothimg them down showing off her body to its greatest effect and stopping all conversation from the men.
‘Lela does not know what that is Mistress.’
‘Virgin or non virgin hun.’
‘Virgin Mistress’
A surprised expression crossed Imanja’s face ‘I know why Bal sent you to me then.’ Imanja smiled softly touching the slaves face gently.
‘Because She did not want lela Mistress.’ The conviction and dejection in that simple sentence earning her a look of concern from Imanja.
‘No sweet one, because I am an absolute horrible bitch when it comes to protecting girls.’
As Lelani smiled at this Imanja whispered ‘Just don’t tell anyone.’ Causing the girl to giggle.
‘Tends to upset the men folk, but you aint seen nothing yet. Wait till you see Tay she is worse.’
‘So she shall be restricted then?’ Adrian asked his hand straying to the knife at his belt.
‘She will be restricted until she is opened of course.’ Imanja replied not phased at all by the implied threat.
‘And if I choose not to wait?’ Adrian shot back his eyes still roving the slaves curves.
‘Ooooh, do let me tell him I do enjoy making people see sense.’
Imanja smiled to Kalanthas.’Oh please do!’
Kalanthas tapped his swords and with what could be construed to be a grin under the facewrap let his eyes go cold and chuckled almost insanely.’ Then you get Joseki’s knife in your left eye or if you make it a formal challenge his sword up your ribs.
‘Oh.’ Adrian muttered the wind seeming to leave his body as he slouched down.
‘You seem shocked?’
‘No I am not shocked I had just forgotten this was Jo’s place.’
‘That makes a difference?’ Leland asked obviously surprised.
‘Sure does,’ Adrian sighed ‘Leland you don’t take much notice of fights but Jo runs the toughest bar on Gor and out of the dozen or so killed here he has buried two assassins in knife combat and one in a formal duel. He may not be the best fighter in Victoria but I wouldn’t choose to start a fight with him.’
Kalanthas laughed knowingly and nodded
‘Especially as I saw his last kill. That man is an army all by himself.’
Leland nodded thoughtfully and said no more merely going into the kitchen where he rifled around in cold room and coming back out with a sandwich.
Imanja thought for a minute and then with a big grin proclaimed. ‘From now on girl you will be known as Nutmeg of the Pink Sleen.’
Imanja looked back at LeLand as he raised a questioning eyebrow, pointing to the girl before her.’She reminded Me of something spicy’
‘Thankyou Mistress.’ Whispered Nutmeg as the guys grinned and laughed.
Joseki’s Journeys 3. Fighter Practice Tonight marked my third journey into the land of GCN Gor. I’ve come to find it to be an interesting mix of people. Some of the same people are there and I find it nice to be looked for. When I played on the Isle of Gor I saw always the same people and not many new faces. On GCN Gor I’ve seen quite a mix, both new and old. The new ones tend to be just as much fun as the old. Well last night I finally got to try my hand at combat. I ran into Taima again...
Joseki’s Journeys, Sword Brother I walked in to my tavern later that afternoon to find that the circus was in full swing as usual. Upon my heels slipped in two slaves. Both of which are pretty fun girls, although in my book talia needs the attention from others. Mintar the trader was in full swing on his sales pitch. “Are you looking for something in particular?” He was speaking to Tanthor our resident leather worker. “I am in need of a couple of new tankards’’ Replied Tanthor “Any kind in...
The year is 5017 in Old Terran Time(OTT) or more precisely 2051 in Union Standard Time (UST). The United Stars of the Galaxies now commonly referred to as the Union is a huge multi cultural society consisting of over five thousand members. The Union is spread across the M-0 galaxy, know to Terran Humans as the Milky Way galaxy, parts of the Andromeda galaxy and several satellite galaxies of the local group.

Sold! By Cassandra Morgan Beauty fades. Colors wash away. Passion ebbs. It is but a matter of time. Dreams die. Energy fades. Skies darken. You get used to life, until that which was exciting becomes routine. It is even so for those of us who refuse to live ordinary lives. There was a time when dressing like a maid was all that mattered in my world, when cleaning and cooking were highlights to my day. There was a time when the sound of my Mistress' raised voice thrilled me and...
Two large and robust looking men were positioned by the rostrum, obviously to keep order and to control the proceedings. As each prisoner was needed for auction, one of them would come behind the screen, collect them by name, and act as an escort to the stage. The men were auctioned first, starting with the least robust and oldest who were quickly sold for only a few credits. They all went through exactly the same routine as Kate had taught Jacqui and then Kate acted as auctioneer taking...
It was a journey Jody Summers made every day. The bus took twenty minutes to reach the centre of town from Kings-Marston where she lived; it was a trip she made five times a week to the office where she worked as a manager. She never saw the point of taking the car, as the building didn't have a car park, the nearest one was quite a distance away and by the time she'd walked all the way to the office it took considerably longer than it would have done by using the bus. She looked out of the...

Sold! Number 28 was standing in a cage with 3 other female slaves waiting for theirturn to be auctioned off. She could hear the auctioneer as he called out thebids on the slave taken from the cage a few minutes before. As number 28 stoodthere nervously, she reflected back on her path to this point in her life. She had been a relatively shy but normal 34 year woman. Long brown hair, nicesoft body with curves accented by a little extra weight. Her childhood wasnormal with loving parents and two...
SOLDLast night, I dreamed of a black horse. Upon waking, I looked in thedictionary of dreams I keep in my bedside table, to see if there is anysignificance to this particular night time vision. It seems a dream ofa black horse is a dream of passion. Considering all that has happenedin the past weeks, I am not surprised.

John and I were single children raised in a small Scottish town in the 1920s. We started at Primary School on the same day and but didn’t became pals straightaway. We each had our little group of pals with whom we hung out and played. As we got older, these friendships frayed, and John and I found ourselves isolated. Boys no longer included us in their games, and we were usually left on the side-lines when sports teams were selected.“You’re a pair of wimps. We don’t want you around.”In truth,...
BisexualEvery journey has a starting point, but sometimes it’s difficult to tell if there is a destination. Sometimes you just start rolling and you end up someplace you never imagined. That’s true of any journey. Even an innocent bike ride on a warm summer morning. The starting point. A middle-aged man with a wife and kids, not entirely happy but not entirely unhappy either. Happy with most things except between the sheets. It happens to a lot of marriages, after the kids come along. After the partner...
Chapter 2 - The Saga is Set in Motion Trying to figure out what was going on was going to give her a headache. She had not thought that she believed in ghosts, but that might be the only way to explain where the girl had gone. There was no way she could have run away without being seen. Walking back to her work area, Mary Sue checked the book she carried for any damage. It looked like it had not suffered from being mistreated, so she decided that the best thing to do was to leave...
Chapter 10 - Wagons Ho By Marina Kelly and Monica Rose Editor: Qmodo The book was still on the table bedside the bed when they wheeled him back to his room. While he wasn't restricted to his room, considering that he was only an observation patient, Pat didn't feel like wandering around the hospital wearing only a drafty gown. It would be an hour or two before the doctor would have time to review the scans that had been taken of his head and neck. To kill the time, Pat decided...
Historical"Sold!" The word echoes in my ear suddenly. I wasn't expecting it, somehow thinking I'd be on the stage for longer. It's odd how quickly it happens. They lead you up on stage by a leash, totally naked, have you turn and give a show. Then there are a few numbers shouted, and then you're sold. You're an object to satisfy an owner. I barely even remember the name my parents gave me now. All I can remember is "slut" and "whore," occasionally "cunt." Training has been long and arduous. They drove...

"The next bit is where the uppity ones get angry," said Kate, mysteriously, "We have to get you trained for this afternoon, and trained to perfection you will be." Opening the desk drawer she took the neural whip out and laid it on the desk. "What do I have to do?" asked Helen. "I want you to imagine you are a fashion model and walk along that line on the floor showing off your overalls as though it was a high-class dress," came the astonishing reply. Helen just stared at Kate in...
Chapter 15 - The Visit by Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Editor: Qmodo They dropped Emily off at her place before heading out of town. Leslie and Emily had spent a few minutes talking quietly before Emily turned away with a smile. Leslie watched her walk inside before getting into the car with a smile of her own. "I take it that you have plans for this evening?" Mary Sue asked, looking at Leslie with a grin. Leslie turned her smile on Mary Sue and replied, "Yes, I think so. ...
HistoricalI came to my senses and realized even before I opened my eyes I was naked and my hands had been tied to my back. I opened my eyes and looked into the face of a blue skinned Thauran teen with coppery metallic hair. “Hey Exa, your rich benefactor is awake.” Then he turned back to me. “Now listen carefully, Rich Citizen Kid. We are the Port Roaches, the most bad ass gang on all of Twilight and I am the Roach King. You caused one of my roaches to be arrested. I don’t like that. You interfere...
I woke from a dreamless sleep and I was glad of that, the most recent events were not the stuff that made pleasant dreams. I rubbed my eyes, the sleep inducer of my seat had been turned off and that meant we were close to the next destination. After arriving on Palomino, a pleasant garden world. I stayed in a hotel for a week, and did some thankfully uneventful sight seeing to pass the time. Seven days ago, I had boarded a space bus and after a short layover at Corri-Door (This time I...
I felt I just went to bed as they woke us and gave us what I felt way too little time to get bathed and groomed. But Neo Vikings were early risers and having warmed almost hot water for shower and hygiene was actually a new experience for me. Even though the shower stalls had privacy screens, seeing human girls with nothing more than a towel entering the hygiene cells was quite something. “Cadet Olafson don’t just stand there and stare, there are others that need to use that cell!” One of...
The rest of the journey was quite uneventful; we slept in actual crew quarters, two cadets to a cabin. I shard mine with Two Three. I had almost forgotten about Bennett Waite and my dilemma. Should I report him? Every morning we repeated that oath and pledge not to tolerate intolerance to other sentient beings. On the other hand I never liked tattle tails. The ship so we were told already approached the Arlicherb system and we were assembled in a conference room and the Instructors kept...
Sodoby occupied his very own office aboard the USS Tigershark. He had several readout field screens open that hovered over his desk. Sodoby took his job as quartermaster very serious, especially now as the Admiral of the fleet had made it official. Until the Spatial Naval Reform of 4012 OTT, a quartermaster was the enlisted member in charge of the watch-to-watch navigation and the maintenance, correction, and maintaining the charts and information stored in the NAV-tank. That enlisted...
The Stellaris scientist-led us through several connecting tube tunnels and stopped at another airlock module. Space is limited, unfortunately, and we can’t accommodate Nul or ... is that a Y’All?” I put a firm tone in my voice.”Is there a problem with that?” “Oh no, I voted for their admission. I just noticed the Ensign rank insignia and wondered how it managed to get to be an officer that fast.” “He joined the Union as an individual ahead of his kind. This is Ensign TheOther, a valued...
I ordered my friends and crew back to the ship. Malmoru had instant and unquestioned authority and no one asked any questions. The word was, that the White Innocent Fur had indeed prevented the darkest spirt from causing the demise of all Togar. The dark spirit, so the word among the Togar had manifested itself in the High Priestess. Something that fits well with the believes and also apparently resonated well with the rebels and dissidents. The demise of the queen, by the hand of that dark...
The woman that stepped through a shimmering portal of dark red light, had dark grey skin, long white hair and wore a skimpy outfit which was an odd combination of bikini, medieval armor, and wispy veils. Her eyes had no pupils but glowed in the same dark red light as the now dissipating portal. Stahl suddenly remembered Sunday school and stopped himself to actually make the sign of the cross. However, he was never really intimidated, by anyone. The Eternal Warrior got up, like the old...
As I was trudging home from the inn one night about a week ago, I heard a voice from out of a darkened alleyway. “Hau, Joseki do you have a minute?” I was a little surprised but I was willing to listen. “Yes how may I help you?” “I’ve been hearing stories about you and I’d like to talk.” Replied the voice. Now this was interesting to me. I hadn’t realized that I was important enough in Victoria to be talked about. After all I am but a simple innkeeper. I spent a few seconds considering who...
Cin cast an alarmed glance at her Mistress and hurried back to kneel by her feet, As zia knelt beside me looked up at me with those nice brown eyes as she said “zia offers You her warm greetings sexy Master Joseki Ko. and prays YOU are well and good.” “Dammit!” snapped Imanja as she slumped to her feet. “talia to me, now! Move it girl/” talia shook her head moving her hand to the collar on her neck I could see cin tremble as she sat there remembering that tone.” DeMonessa chose that...
“Why are people stupid enough to fuck with things that don’t belong to them?” he claimed loudly. Zia sat there holding the boards tight and peeked up at me as his voice carried into the tavern. I knew he was talking about those of us in the tavern he said it loud enough so that we could all here. I thought our previous chat had gone pretty well so I was rather confused about why he was here and so obviously upset. .* Red Hawk hoped down from his kaiila getting his crutches and hobbled in to...
‘What just happened?’ Raphen demanded. ‘He shot Ima?’ I spoke without thinking and it sounded more like a question. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. Tanthor stood and just looked on in shock for a second before rushing to Imanja’s side. ‘Hou Raphaen.’ Red Hawk spoke, his voice as calm now as if he was discussing the weather. ‘What happened, Red Hawk?’ Raphen demanded. ‘I told two girls of My camp to come home.’ Red Hawk stated. ‘Imanja tried to stop me. I acted as any Gorean Man...
Oh god Lyssa, you're acting like a real whore! She thought to herself. Suddenly She regretted ever sending such a racy, random text message. What if he happened to be with his girlfriend now? What if she saw it? She wanted to keep this a secret, if it did or did not happen. "Oh I should have thought this through!" She said aloud to herself. Her phone vibrated once. Letting her know the answer to all of her questions. She flipped her phone open "I want you to fuck me. " was the first...

Chapter 1 - Prologue Nebraska, summer 1897 Mitch Bridger, the wagon master and the son of the legendary Jim Bridger, finished his morning ride through the grouped wagons on the train and headed over to the chow wagon where his chief scout Bill Cody was waiting for him. They both sat on a make shift bench that had been put together for their extended stop. They had been forced to halt the wagon train's progress because many of the settlers had become sick. The quarantine wagons...
Chapter 3 - Escape to Laramie Her fingers closed on the solid object at the bottom of the bag. She would have preferred something pointed, but we must utilize what God provides us in a time of crisis. Hope quickly waned when she realized it was her perfume bottle. Perhaps she could use that as a weapon and smash him over the head with it. Regrettably she realized it was too fragile to do any real damage; so Mary resorted to the next best thing. Grasping the perfume bottle and...
Chapter 4 - Making Friends in Town Mary Sue walked the short distance from the bank to the diner, keeping a wary eye out for unwanted surprises. She opened the door to the tinkle of a bell and was struck by the ambiance. It was as if she had stepped through a time warp portal and was back in the 50's. The theme from Happy Days played softly on the corner jukebox. The walls were covered with banners and pennants from what she assumed were the local high school. The restaurant was...
Chapter 5 - Just Research The library was not hard to find as it occupied a good-sized building just down the road from the central area. It had obviously been a church at one time, probably the largest in the area, and it must have been recommissioned as the library when a newer building had been built closer to Laramie proper. The parking lot was hard-packed gravel, but it was a pretty good size. Mary Sue gathered her things and headed up the stairs to the front doors, finding...
Chapter 6 - The Plot Thickens by Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Proof-reader: Qmodo Once she had finished breakfast, Mary headed back over to the library. As she pulled into the parking lot, she saw Patrick standing outside the building, arms folded and looking upset. Getting out of her car she rushed to his side, "Pat, why are you pacing around out here?" "I just got here and found the front door to the library open." He kept looking up at the building as if he were expecting...
LGBT existed a long time before the labels came into being. Bigotry and discrimination were there at the same time. This is a story how those attitudes can affect our descendants. Chapter 7 - The Game's Afoot by Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Editor: Qmodo They could see that the sheriff was seated at his desk at the back of the office as they passed by the front of the building. As a gentleman should, Pat held the door open and gestured for Mary to go first. She raised an...
Chapter 8 - Cheap Whisky and Expensive Cigars By Marina Kelly and Monica Rose Editor: Qmodo Their walk back to the library was spent talking about what growing up in Laramie was like for Pat. He pointed out the tree he had fallen out of and broken his arm. She was treated to a detailed explanation of how he and his friends played baseball in the empty lot they passed. When they passed the fire station, the truck had been pulled out of its bay and was blocking the sidewalk. As...
HistoricalChapter 9 - Panties and Hose By Marina Kelly and Monica Rose Editor: Qmodo Mary woke slowly, the night's sleep feeling more like a short nap. She grabbed the first thing in her closet that fit her mood, it just happened to be one of her favorites. No tomboy look today, she wanted Pat to see her at her most appealing. It was a light blue cotton sundress with a sweetheart neck and banded empire waist, with ruffles and pleats that added the perfect feminine texture. It had an...
HistoricalChapter 11 - Help Arrives by Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Editor: Qmodo The smile on her face seemed to be at odds with the ominous nature of her question. She used little makeup and she really did not need it. Her dark brown hair was pulled back from her face into a bun or pony tail. Probably because of some dress code regulation. Her nose was a bit wide, but it seemed to fit her face properly. She looked to be in her late twenties or early thirties. All-in-all, she looked...
HistoricalChapter 12 - The Plot Thickens She squinted at the bright light in her eyes. It was like the sun was shining directly into her face. Her head felt like it had been packed with cotton and she was having trouble making sense of anything. Realization grew on her that she had been looking at the same spot on the curtain wall beside the bed for minutes before she even knew that it was there. A dull ache in her shoulder got her attention and served to help her cut through some of the...
HistoricalChapter 13 - The Fog Begins to Clear by Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Editor: Qmodo It was still early afternoon when Leslie left the hospital. Mary Sue had been incredibly lucky. As a trained law enforcement officer, Leslie couldn't say for sure the gunman had intended to kill her. If the intention was to just wound her, the shooter had to be an expert marksman. In a state full of hunters, such a person would not be hard to find. A few inches one way or the other would have...
HistoricalChapter 14 - The Sighting of a Clue by Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Editor: Qmodo Emily, living in a small rural community, was just as starved for the friendship of a kindred spirit and they found themselves meshing quickly. Her experiences had not been nearly as bad as Leslie's, but being different in cowboy country was still difficult. She had grown up here in Laramie and there had never been problems, but it was still lonely. As long as she did not flaunt the fact that she...
HistoricalChapter 16 - A Rattlesnake on the Trail By Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Proofread by: Qmodo The sun was bright outside the bedroom windows but the muted glare really did not bother her. It registered somewhat, but the events of the previous day had taken a bit out of her. Their bedroom gymnastics contributed to that as well. As a result, Mary Sue snuggled back into the warmth of Pat's arms. Sadly, she did not have the ability to slip back into sleep once she had started to...
HistoricalChapter 17 - The Search Begins By Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Proofread by: Qmodo Liz sat quietly, her arms wrapped around herself, knees pulled up on the chair. Even though the doctor had reported that things looked good for Samantha, she was still worried about her and probably would stay that way until she was able to see for herself. "How long have you and Samantha known each other?" Leslie asked, doing her best to keep it from sounding like an interview. She asked...
HistoricalChapter 18 - Aftermath By Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Proofread by: Qmodo Leslie watched the elder Kaylock be loaded into the ambulance with mixed emotions. The paramedics could not tell her much about his chances though, she would have to speak with the doctors at the hospital. The man's entitled attitude had made him unlikeable, but seeing anyone injured always bothered her. It was one of the reasons she had pursued law enforcement as a career. Ron found himself handcuffed...
HistoricalChapter 19 - Going Home By Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Proofread by: Qmodo Mary Sue strode happily out of the Liberal Arts building and onto the quad. Dropping onto a bench, the afternoon sun felt great. Now that the summer heat was in the offing, but not quite here yet, it felt good to take a few minutes to just enjoy the afternoon. The lion's share of organizing her notes and all of the typing of evidence and conclusions was done, so she could begin the task of proofreading...
HistoricalChapter 20 - Yolanda By Monica Rose and Marina Kelly Proofread by: Qmodo Mary Sue stood in the doorway of the library's special archives, hands on her hips. Before her stood the rows of shelves that had been in the basement when she had arrived. One of the first things she had done after taking over as the temporary librarian was to get a group of teenaged boys in to move the boxes stored in the basement up to where they would be better protected. She had then spent several...

Longnight had once again descended upon Nilfeheim, the second planet in the Solken system. Nilfeheim was a water planet with with very little dry land. During Longnight, the winter period that could last up to seven standard years, the oceans froze over, except for a region called the Uhim grounds. Hot vents and underwater volcanoes kept the water temperature above freezing. Nilfeheim had been settled by colonists from Earth almost 3000 years ago. The settlers, belonging to the Viking...
Lothar’s beam burned through my chest. It felt as if my entire torso was on fire, but I was alive. I did not faint or pass out instead fulled by burning rage I ran towards him, his face was pure horror he still held the small weapon he did not fire a third time. I reached him in mere seconds, buried my knee in his groin and smashed the palm of my hand against his nose with the hope I would shove his nose bone up his brain. Something completely impossible f course, but I was furious and kept...
The Swing Tram was something else. Passenger cabins suspended on a long cable released from a docking port swung across the Canyon and clinked into a similar port on the other side. For a short moment I felt weightless then at the base of the swing several gee pressed down on me while the rock wall came rushing towards the capsule. The docking station was cleverly disguised behind a holo image of rock. People were screaming as loud speakers transmitted crashing sounds and even though I would...
The ‘American Spirit’ was nothing I expected a space ship to look from the inside. It was more like a luxurious villa, complete with garden, swimming pool and green lawn. We stepped through a glass sliding door under a blue sky with a single yellow sun and on the green plant surface he called grass, was a table with umbrella and a few garden chairs. Rolling hills with forests in the distance. “All simulated of course,” Alex explained. “The walls are actually only 30 meters from us, but I...
The Attack came totally unexpected. The scanner operator of the American Dream was watching GalNews about the space battle between Dai, Nogoll and Union forces like everyone else on the bridge and thus missed the fast approaching contact. I was still sitting in the Command chair, while the main viewer showed high definition recordings of the space battle of Union Fleet against the Dai and the Nogoll. Titanic fists shock the yacht so violently that Calia Lethra, Alex and everyone else...
After the Enroe ships and a Union ship had arrived, everything happened fast. The wounded were evacuated. I had stepped down from the Command chair and felt myself ignored as robots and help crews rushed back and forth. I simply sat back down and waited for whatever would happen next. The heat of the battle was over. While it was happening I was neither afraid nor did I have any doubts, but now I wasn’t so sure anymore. Should I have tried to escape and not stay and fight? Was I responsible...
Arriving at Austin, planet it became clear to me what an Ultra Corp really was. The entire planet was owned by Enroe and it was a world with over 8 billion inhabitants. There were nine more planets and fourteen moons in the system and all were owned and developed by Enroe Corp. It was only one of many systems they controlled. The space port we had touched down was a Class A port and it was busy with dozens of capital ships landing and taking off in a constant pace. The American Spirit no...
I arrived at Corri-Door nine days after I had left Austin. The System was on the very edge of Union space. The declared space Kermac/Galactic Council space begun right beyond its helio pause towards the gneral direction of the galactic center, or in te old astronavigation terms, towards Galactic East. Two so called transit corridors, marked only by marker buoys and defined by the Armistice treaty that ended the last big war originated from here. One of these corridors connected Magnitude,...
