The Reset ManifestoChapter 16

“Did you have a good marriage with Peter?” “Yes. It was everything that I dreamed it would be.” “I never thought Peter would be capable of a real relationship.” “Patricia, why did your marriage end?” “Ed was a pretentious arrogant asshole who had more in common with a leach than a human being. I got fed up with his big talk and small results. I kicked him to the curb.” “Peter was my source of strength. I felt that I could do anything with him around. I was his sanctuary. I was needed....

Oil of RosesChapter 13

Between Harry on one side of her and Margo on the other, they managed to get Tamara into the restaurant and back to the room without anyone noticing how weak she was. While Carol went to tell Karen, Patricia and Kelly the edited version of the story, Harry pulled Eddy to one side and Margo checked Tamara over. "Eddy, that girl over there, her name's Tamara, I don't know her last name and we just paid a thousand dollars to buy her from Phil Philouma. You know who he is, I'm...

Along the FinkeChapter 4

Charlie It didn't take a rocket scientist to see these two had just got married, they were 'bout close as two people could get. He'', the two of 'em had arms around each others waists and kept bumpin' butts as we walked down the street. Here, these two kids were draggin' me around on a lark, havin' a hell of a time. An' in the meantime, they were gonna fix me up. At least I hoped they'd fix me up. The way things been goin', I weren't too sure what might happen. I just shook my...

A Well Lived Life Book 9 AnalaChapter 43 Pre departure Briefings

June 1984, Milford, Ohio On Monday morning, Bethany, Josie, Jennifer, Stephanie, Zach and I all went to breakfast. We talked about the wedding and Stephanie filled me in on my mom’s reaction. “At church, she and Dad sat way in the back. You know his opinion of church, so no surprise there. At the reception, I think you saw her leave the room when Jennifer and Josie danced, and she wouldn’t come back. It was so stupid because later on, all the bridesmaids danced together, along with a bunch...

IBE The Days Of WanderingLa Paloma

The festival of “setting sail” in the cruise line business is always very corny. They make a big champagne toast, a party. Dinner that night is usually quite formal, and they make a big deal of it. Except the crew onboard do this sort of thing every week or so, and so they are usually not actually caught up in the sense of occasion. It is obviously a sense of occasion for the passengers who are onboard. They do this quite rarely. The MS Rotterdam is the proud flagship of the Holland America...

Dog and His BoyChapter 9 Plan For Action

"Here you go," Steve told his neighbor, "All we agreed on and fifty more for a job well done." The Storms nodded their appreciation as a happy neighbor drove off. Linda looked at her supposed frugal husband and wondered what had happened to him. She decided she had better keep a close watch on him. "Come out into the barn. We got three more of those bad guys out there and more new stuff as well." Steve led the way while the dazed Storms followed behind. Linda told them, "You got...

Secrets of Liberty Mountain Yesterday s TomorrowChapter 14

In the confined space of the cave, Alice’s distressed cry reverberated off the walls so loudly my ears hurt. I scrambled to be at her side. She sat in a fetal position with her arms wrapped around her knees: her whole body trembling like a leaf in the wind. Fear distorted her face, and her eyes closed so tightly her eyebrows twitched with the effort. A tiny voice uttered from her lips, repeating the same word again and again: snakes. Kneeling next to Alice, I put my arm around her shoulder...

Wedding PhotosChapter 2

Ethan did his best not to think about the coming photo shoots. It didn't do much good. For the next week and a half, he tried to focus on the work at hand. He found himself becoming even more of a perfectionist. When people had nothing but the Adour shoot and these photos to look at, he didn't want to leave them anything to be overly critical about. Sometimes, he chuckled to himself. If the harpies decided to be critical, the lack of anything concrete to be critical about wouldn't slow...

A Perfect WorldChapter 18

The Roseville Police Department, being one of the more affluent agencies in the Sacramento area, owned a large motor home that had been converted into a command vehicle for major incidents. Inside, most of the furniture had been removed and replaced by banks of computers, radio equipment, coffee makers, and detail maps of the surrounding region. The command vehicle had been taken out of storage for the first time in more than a year and was now sitting in a parking lot at the intersection of...

Alternate UniversesChapter 9

Boy, the farm sure looked different with the chain-link fence installed. Of course, the fence didn't surround the whole farm, that would be a ridiculous waste. However, the fence did encompass the launch pad were Emily V was stored and the barn and house. We had fixed up the house, and even Joe Holmes didn't raise an eyebrow when Jenny and I moved in. It was really silly for us to live in town and commute every day to the farm to work on our Mars mission project. Jenny and I had...

The Anomaly Volume Two the Schemes of the Unknown UnknownChapter 23 Intrepid 3755 C E

Beatrice wandered contemplatively across the freshly grown lawns on the outermost level of the Intrepid. The space ship's restoration systems had at last made the level habitable although not everything had quite returned to the condition it had been before. New trees had been planted but were modest in comparison to those uprooted by the explosion. New villas had been constructed to replace those that had been destroyed. Animals had been relocated to replace those that had perished. The...

Secrets of Fathers and EmpiresChapter 13

January 24, 2026, just over a year had passed since the merger of the century, as the press had labeled it. LDC and The Whitten Companies were now officially known as Whitten/LDC. With the combined resources of the world’s largest company, Sean figured now it was time to announce his boldest plan yet, the building of a colony on Mars. Sean had studied various other close planets as candidates. However, two things kept him coming back to Mars. The first was time; it took two and a half years...

Tara 5 BoasChapter 18

The three men enjoyed their afternoon working together. Having two people who had learned magic independently of you was always fun when swapping spells. Darcy became the teacher mostly because he had the most experience, but he’d learnt a thing or two as well. He was even more determined that they would have barbies so they could swap knowledge and he could get to know each of the Lord wizards and their people better. The amusing part came when they went to replace Trae’s items with the...

KineticChapter 11

Thirteen months later... Time: Thursday, January 1, 2004 12:03 PM My morning flight from Philadelphia into Logan Airport got in on time and I took public transportation back to campus. I was carrying two suitcases, and the new laptop I was lugging was quite heavy too. But I'm an expert now in taking weight off things that I'm carrying. I was maintaining a very normal looking gait, and the stroll back to my dorm room was easy and uneventful... So much has happened in the last year....

Gabatrix the First PeaceChapter 11 The Battle of MJJ 12

“Come on! Come on!” one of the crew members yelled to another as they walked as fast as they could to the airlock passageway. “The Atra is already setting up the gate probes. Move your ass now!” A female officer quickly looked behind her. There was no one else that she saw. Kane was inside the Atra by the airlock as the crew of one hundred was being rounded up. Some Yutilians and a few Shal’rein had all met up with the evacuating crew. Ifra was helping others in their rapid adjustment to the...

Martina McBride and LeeAnn Rimes Swap HusbandsChapter 2

She spoke up "I never expected this either and I don't see me becoming a swinger or anything. I enjoyed what happened very much, I am sorry it did happen, like Martina said I wanted us to be friends when you left. For my part I still feel like we are friends. I know you didn't try to take advantage, we all just had a little to much to drink. We can't change what happened so lets just deal with it". John being older than Dean and more experienced in the world spoke up next "I love...

A Well Lived Life 2 Book 9 KamiChapter 55 Dancing to Dante s Tune

June 10, 1996, Chicago, Illinois “What exactly am I looking at?” Deborah asked. We were sitting in her office with the door shut, because the conversation was one I couldn’t risk Penny overhearing. “A list of all the women who work for NIKA who I’ve been intimate with, either before they worked here or after they started. That’s the before/after/both note.” “You’re serious?!” “Deadly.” “Why show me this?” “Because you need to know the full story if you’re going to be my attorney. Jamie...

Alternate UniversesChapter 18

There was a tremendous explosion underneath Guppy. Suddenly, a whole segment of Auburn Space Port was engulfed in falling dust and dirt. Dammit, another attempt by The True Believers to wreck our space efforts! Guppy had been put in the idle storage area for holding while we decided what to do with her. From our point of view, Guppy was obsolete, but we had not yet decided how to dispose of her. I was even toying with the idea of selling her to NASA, but I had not come to a final...

Billionaire and the SisterhoodChapter 11 After The Sex Party and a Kidnap Attempt

Mark Tom, Melanie, Carter, Cindy, Elsa, and I had a communal breakfast. My girls were really stoked up and enthusiastic about the outcome of the barbecue, and vocalized their thoughts about the small orgy the night before. I looked to see whether anyone was embarrassed but detected not a shred of regret, except Carter blushed up a nice scarlet hue as he wholeheartedly agreed. Melanie openly stated that she wanted to try Tom before he left for the airport and his flight to Denver. The...

The Royal GeniesChapter 2

Tonight, there was to be a party at the royal palace. On the anniversary of his death, the artefacts that had been recovered from King Reylos' fallen star were to be put on display for nobility and visiting dignitaries to see. Everything had been packed away, so now the palace's staff were working to get everything out and on display, but away from prying hands. "What do you think these things are?" Asked one of the workers, holding up what was, unbeknownst to him, the complete boxset of...

An Cloch nChapter 11

It was 0300 hours at An Clochán when Breacadh woke up Briana's Clan with, "Sensors are detecting unusual activity between us and the ravine on the NNW side." "Did you alert Amy's Clan?" "Yes. Erica wants all of you to meet them in the Security Control Center." "Okay. Wait, all the cruisers are on that side of An Clochán." "Correct." "Then have Súsanna's and Caoilinn's Clans join us there. Tell them to wear tac suits. Is there any activity among our visitors?" "Our...

TwinsChapter 3

After we told Addy everything we did over at the Swanson's house, she was shaking her head about it. "You talked Jeff into flirting and fucking his own mother?" she said incredulously. "It was all based on the way you and I communicated just prior to our 'hook-up, ' Addy," I calmly replied. "What do you expect of me now ... to go over and swap sons with a woman I barely know?" "No, Mom ... I thought it necessary to tell you everything that happened, because of our new...

An Cloch nChapter 12

It was three clock cycles later that the Iridien technicians arrived at An Clochán to check out the Iridien cruisers. Each of the Iridien Spec Ops teams carefully monitored the technicians as they checked their ships' systems. After checking all the systems, the technicians found that only the anti-hijacking systems had been compromised. Instead of repairing them, they opted to replace the systems on all ships and then had the crews authenticate to the new system. The technicians were...

An Cloch nChapter 15

The Órarduine Command Staff representatives were standing just inside the habitat when the Iridien ships began arriving. Their approach and landing was identical to two days earlier. Only this time when the ramps lowered they immediately exited and headed toward An Clochán's entrance. After they had passed through the airlock into the arrival area, the Command Staffs went to greet them. They said in unison, "Welcome back. We trust you had a pleasant trip." "It is a pleasure to be...

ComrieChapter 45

Máiréad and Ciar were with Jasmine, as she woke for the first time after completing her conversion to Órarduine. As Jasmine woke, she slowly began to catalog the sensations surrounding her. The first thing she noticed was that she was lying in bed rather than standing in a tube. The sounds and smells were of a hospital or doctor's office. For a moment she wondered where she was, then she remembered lowering herself into the conversion tube and watching it fill with green gel. She slowly...

Honkytonk HeroChapter 12

The VFW hall was packed with members and guests for the annual Christmas party. The Frickes and their friends were sitting at three tables pushed together just off the edge of the dance floor. Sitting at the tables were the usual cast of characters. Rita and Harold were there of course, and so was their daughter Caroline. Ben and Cricket Crawford were sitting across from Ramon and Theresa Salazar. Tommy sat at the end of the table with new VFW member Margie Wilcox. Margie had served a six...

An Cloch nChapter 24

It was shortly after Marthanóir’s and Fiontar’s return when Leann said, “Command Staffs, we need a few minutes of your time.” “What’s up?” asked Sarah. “We think we should scrap the idea of putting Gatling guns on the Badb cruisers.” “Why is that?” “If we make the projectiles hard enough to damage a space ship, then those that miss will turn into an unintended hazard to anyone else.” “Makes sense,” replied Keriann. “We would still want these weapons if we were operating in a planet’s...

ParallelsChapter 2

Although the monitor had gone dark on Supergirl’s end, Dr. Richard Trask II (he hated Junior) still had a very clear view of the naked and restrained Kryptonian, and freed of the need to look detached now had what could best be described as an evil grin. He hadn’t been lying, after all the best control is based on truth. In fact everything he had told her was strictly true. He just hadn’t told her everything. Her sister (yes, he knew, he just preferred she not know that) had been released...

The Grim Reaper Adventures in Southern Law EnforcementChapter 19 Rescue

I never really passed out, but I wasn’t in a mood to keep talking. The immediate threat was contained, and since I was trapped under a tree and wounded, I wasn’t going to wander around the battlefield. After a few minutes I began to hear sirens, both police and fire department; I wouldn’t be alone for long. I twisted my head to the left but couldn’t see to the end of the driveway out on Lakeside Drive. I did see flashing lights approaching, and the sirens went silent. Moments later I heard a...

Encountering the EnergistsChapter 5 The Big Bang Theory Theme Song

7:45pm, July 1, 2003 Once again, the Energists thankfully restricted access to my memories of them, so I could focus all my attention on... Kaleigh's nude 6 month pregnant body as she walked out of her master bathroom towards me. "You kill me with those Marvin the Martian boxers. Each time you have them on; all I can picture is his little legs scurrying about with his little ray-gun," she chuckled as she eased on over beside me at the bed. "Oh by the way, Happy Canada Day! I saw that on...

Imperium Birth Of a DynastyChapter 2

Samael had a meeting scheduled with a woman named Vanessa Rovencroft in a week’s time. She all but begged him not to do anything impulsive and wait until they had their meeting. So he did. He promised and waited patiently. On the outside at least. Inside he was a nervous wreck. The expectations he had from himself were high. Samael made sure he was well prepared. Reading and studying anything. A little excessive. Finally, his father made him stop and take a step back. Breathe and focus....

Demigod of WarChapter 50

Day 193-200: John had a problem, and Dulgan was its source. Oh, the Dwarf was a fine traveling companion. After departing the camp, the Dwimar led them to a well-concealed entrance back underground. The Obsidian Peaks were honeycombed with passages and caves where far more Clans than John had figured made their homes. They zig-zagged their way between Dvergyr and Dwimar clan areas, never moving in a straight line. At first, Dulgan’s inquisitive nature charmed John while they walked. The...

An Cloch nChapter 50

“Good morning,” said Sarah’s Clan as they entered the conference room on Iarracht. “Good morning,” responded Keriann’s Clan. “Siobhan’s Clan is going to connect via video.” “We suspected they might,” replied Tara. “Their babies are really cute.” “Yes they are.” “So how are you all feeling?” “Pretty good now,” replied Keriann. “Well actually, compared to last week I feel very good. I think I may have been overdoing it since our spouses left and last week it caught up with me. In fact I...

CynthiaChapter 9

They both ate the popovers, neither having tasted them before. A woman from Maine had taught me to make them, among other goodies. Cynthia said, "Damn, Charles, I'm glad you don't make these all the time. I'd never stop eating them." "Good. I won't make them often, but this is a celebration. It's too early for champagne, although I could have made mimosas." Laura said, "No. Coffee's fine. This is a celebration. I hope everyone feels as good as I do." We agreed that the night...

An Ordinary Teenage Sex Life 2Chapter 3 Tempted

SEPTEMBER 2001, SENIOR YEAR "Hey there, boyfriend!" Megan called as she sidled up to Kaito and wrapped her arm around his waist. I grinned as I watched him stiffen and look around the hallway sheepishly, as if embarrassed by her public display of affection. But after another second he smiled happily and let his girlfriend hug him. The couple started down the hallway towards me. When they arrived, Megan smiled and punched my shoulder lightly with her free hand. "Hey, Ben." "Hey, Ben,"...

Carstairs of ArabiaChapter 2 I Spy With My Tired Eye

Saturday June 27th, 2015. Dallas Road, Ealing. “Good morning.” “You’re up early?” said Kelly, who I found scooping yoghurt into a bowl of muesli when I sauntered into the kitchen. She’d spent the night at my house, in her own room. “Are you kidding? It’s five minutes past eight! I’ve been staring at the ceiling for half an hour, trying to get back to sleep.” “Well, give it another go. Or give me ten minutes and I’ll come and wear you out.” “Cheeky cow,” I muttered, as I filled the tea...

Klaatu Barata NiktoChapter 6

It was fast becoming daylight and Klaatu didn't want to waste a moment. He didn't know if what he had in mind would work but it was better to try something than do nothing and watch Maya slowly die. He wrote a note and stuck it in an envelope. He turned to his mother who was still in a trance. "Mom, I want you take this envelope. Walk outside. You'll see a couple of black SUVs down the street a bit. Walk toward the vehicles while holding the envelope high above your head. If they start...

2069 a.d. Béla Begins her Education 'How does one tell time when there is no darkening and everything is the same? I wake and it's morning. When I sleep it becomes night. How long is the day? Yesterday felt short. I was inside the Praetor for forty years. My cabin looks like it's been in ruins for longer than that. My club is gone. Jake ... is gone. And why is the sun so angry? Béla's disassociated thoughts were interrupted when her father stepped into the lab. "What are you...

2073 a.d. Baby Sister Sibilius had the first project ready for installation. Béla didn’t make any suggestions about who would get what body. She’d only met two of her sisters inside the Praetor; Elisabeta and Melinda. She was still a little annoyed with Melinda for torching her boyfriend, Raul, and also for Torquemada, although Melinda swore that she never let Dear Tomas feast on her blood. As for Elisabeta, she was just plain scary! She looked at Béla like she was lunch and Elsa had missed...

Micro GatesPart 3

Three weeks later our new 10 million gallon water tank was installed in the barn. I had upgraded the prep equipment, and the overhead cranes during the down time. We had also built a new control room outside the barn, as well as two processing rooms, one for preparing, and precooling the gates, the other for finishing the gates after creating them, and preparing them for shipping. The 8 foot gates consumed slightly more than 3 million gallons. I had upgraded the water supply with two 12...

Xi Pegasi Aboard the Wells March 28, 2057 Devin looked up as the admittance chime sounded. “Come.” Manuel Fuentes stood in the doorway. “Got a minute?” “For you, always. Take a seat.” Manuel smiled briefly and pushed off the doorjamb. Devin’s office desk was a smaller copy of the activity room tables, and Manuel sat across the desk from Devin. “What’s on your mind?” “We can’t land on the surface or, at least not anywhere near the survey sites. The ground team says the rovers probably...

Xi Pegasi Colony Site One June 10, 2057 “They’re early.” Hollis lowered his binoculars and looked down at Maria. “I’m sorry?” “The shuttle is early.” She put her hand on the rover’s side for balance. Her leg fracture was setting nicely, but the leg still hurt if she walked on it too much. “They’ll be here in about fifteen minutes.” Hollis nodded and looked out over the airport. He had surveyed the area for the best landing site, and it had taken ten days to cut the temporary landing strip...

Xi Pegasi System Devinstown, New Geneva Lenna MacGregor Medical Center 14/17/41 NR 1412 Hours Her cat was missing, and Luisa McDaniel ran through the greenhouse, bounding down the long pathway between the laser beam straight rows of corn. The soil here was black and loamy, not the gritty red dust that swirled in the bitter wind outside the huge, glassed dome that soared over her head. She landed lightly and slid to a stop as she spotted a black and white streak disappear into a row of corn...

Delta Volantis System Flag Bridge, GNS Moshe Dyan 15/05/41 NR 1210 Hours “Transit detected! Designate as Bogey Four and start track!” The tactical officer’s fingers traced across his holographic displays, adding the blood red icon to the three on the flagship’s master plot. “Right on time, too.” Admiral Aaron Peters turned his command chair and smiled at his grim faced chief of staff. “Come now, David. We surmised that they had the reaction mass and certainly the will to chase us.” He...

28 Librae System GNS Neil Armstrong 15/14/41 NR 2645 Hours A soft electronic sound intruded into her nightmare, and Luisa’s eyes opened. She raised herself on one elbow and pressed the audio only key on the comm panel. She hadn’t bothered to dress for bed, and it wouldn’t do for anyone to see her like that. “Yes?” “Commander, we’ve entered orbit, and a shuttle from Foster will arrive in twenty minutes.” “Thank you, Perla. I’ll be there.” Luisa cut the circuit and reached for her clothes....

Antelope FreewayChapter 53

Time: January 2, year 204,894 5:40 AM Honolulu Local Time (T plus 19 hours, 40 minutes) Twenty minutes before black-hole injection, the slip-ship's reality projection point jumped from one meter above the event horizon to five microns above the event horizon, approximately 71.5 kilometers from the geodesic center of NBHX35. The orbital period remained at 1.50 milliseconds. The ship was now traveling 99.9999999997% of the speed of light. A second of Kyle's and Brianna perceived time...

Antelope FreewayChapter 56

Time: January 2, 204894 3:17 PM local time outside the Nebraska channel, 4 hours, 17 minutes after injection. A lot can happen in 200,000 years. Nebraska used to be famous for its cornfields, but the area around the channel entrance was now a deep forest. After A'moth dropped us off, Jim and I spent some time hiking around a bit until I nailed the exact location of the entrance. The trick is to probe lightly. Too deep a mind-presence in the channel and I'd slide down without being able to...

A New PastChapter 60 Alison rsquo s Legacy

“Chrissy, are you disappointed?” the interviewer asked. “Disappointed? At what? I’ll be in the first dozen people to set foot on Mars and my team will be the one to establish a permanent base on the Martian surface. Why should I be disappointed? It makes perfect sense from a mission perspective to have the first team conduct surface surveys while we remain in orbit performing analysis of the possible locations. Once we select a suitable site, we’ll land and start the construction phase.” I...

A New PastChapter 61 Growing Up

“Dad, can we talk for a minute?” Ali asked as I settled into a lounger on the sunny deck of the Lumiere, a luxurious yacht I had chartered for at least the first part of our summer vacation. The fifty-meter floating palace had comfortable accommodations for twelve, though we were only counting on having eight to ten guests aboard, since at least one stateroom would be reserved for a security team traveling with us. I had planned on spending at least three weeks aboard in the Mediterranean,...

A New PastChapter 62 New Moves

“You can see the engine’s flame in the sky now,” the announcer said in the background as the long-range cameras picked out the actinic flare of the fusion engines high in the sky. We were in Kenya, awaiting the return of Mars-One. Kelly had tried to insist on a U.S. landing, but I had firmly vetoed that. The large Orion spacecraft was coming down where we needed it to be for a complete check-out and re-fit, not playing a part in some political posturing. She had been similarly disappointed...

Luisa stopped and peered at a series of lines and circles in the upper right corner of the panel. The image was overlaid with blue guide lines, enhancing the carvings. “This is the star map?” Adam nodded. “Yes.

Beta Mensae System GNS John Young 01/21/42 NR 1730 Hours Admiral Aaron Peters, Geneva Naval Service, stood at the boat bay airlock and waited for the Lovell to dock. His official duty station was aboard his flagship, but he was still aboard the fleet repair ship Young until he was well enough to resume his duties. Not that there was anything resembling a navy for him to command, he thought morosely. Three frigates were left from the catastrophic battle in the 10 Ceti System, and only two of...

Theta Coronae Australis System GNS Neil Armstrong 02/06/42 NR 0930 Hours Gandalf’s limb filled the shuttle’s viewport, and Luisa leaned forward to gaze at the expanse of blue. Arwen wasn’t even the largest of the gas giant’s moons, and the Genevan outpost was located closer in-system. It had taken some effort to convince Armstrong’s captain to bring her here, but a conference with Adam, Perla and the transport group’s commander had done the trick. Unlike Zene, Arwen was completely airless,...

Theta Coronae Australis System Away Team, Arwen 02/10/42 NR 0650 Hours “Absolutely nothing,” Jacques Hammel muttered as he touched faceplates with his partner. The pair had been trudging along the wall of yet another unnamed crater in the never ending darkness and cold of their own, personal hell. April Ogilvy, his teammate, had stepped on a loose rock and had nearly fallen on the treacherous slope. Now, she sat panting from exertion and terror, while Jacques tried to comfort her. “We’ve...

She sat at the flag bridge’s tactical station, and she tapped at a keyboard visible only to herself as she updated the master plot. “Thank you, Kayla,” Admiral Aaron Peters acknowledged. He watched the quartet of missiles streak toward the research base on Zene. Adam Thomas had been furious when he received the order to evacuate, but he’d complied without any resistance. Now, he...

The Genevan fleet was approaching this system’s single, unnamed gas giant, a monster five times the size of Sol’s Jupiter. Brilliant blue and green cloud bands encircled the massive planet, and a swirling disc of dark blue marked where a massive storm raged in the planet’s northern hemisphere. Dozens of moons shepherded the giant along in its orbit, and four of the larger...

When Marilyn brought him and Will here for the first time, Casa Juan consisted of one open dinning room. Now there were two smaller dinning rooms off to one side. Each of the smaller rooms had seating for twenty people. Between them was a sliding wall that opened to create a large banquet room that handled forty...

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 C.E. Wayne Manor, 1007 Mountain Drive, Gotham City Bruce Wayne quickly grew tired of the conversion and fake pleasantries between Mia Dearden, aka Speedy and Rose that accompanied any two-people meeting who had been on opposite sides before.

Distant Cousins Chapter 10

Despite all their machinations, Eli and Enoch were convinced that their Earth experiment was a total failure - that no amount of apparent foreknowledge could change the minds of those that were already closed permanently. Religious zealots of every ilk had made sure that the conflagration predicted by some ancient works would definitely come to pass, sooner or later, and nothing was going to change it. There was no preventing anything from destroying the Earth - plans A and B were...

Black VelvetChapter 8 Call to Adventure

“I can really go?” Zuki asked, practically dancing on the spot as nervous energy consumed her. Her ears were pricked up, and her eyes were bright, her troubles forgotten. “It’s ultimately up to your Patriarch,” Jules replied, “but there’s no reason that you can’t come if he permits it. There are already Borealans where you’ll be going, you’ll have food that you can eat, the environment is suitable for your kind. It might be frightening, however. I need to make sure that you’re prepared for...

Black VelvetChapter 17 Diplomacy

“This is it,” Jules said, “are you ready?” Zuki was walking beside him as they made their way along the torus, clad in her sharp suit, her camouflaged cloak draped across her shoulders. She was wearing her sunglasses, as it was morning, and the sunlamps were lit. They were making their way to the nearest spoke that would take them to the central hub of the station, where the council would soon be in session. “I’m ready,” she replied, holding her head up confidently as they strode through...

In March I started talking about Bess to Albert. Telling him that before Mommy started guarding us, she ordered him 11 little brothers and sisters. “I’m very excited, your first little sister comes in April. She will be so much fun. Just think we will have two birthday parties every year, one for you, and one for her!” “Ice cream?” he asked. “She might like cake. Or maybe cupcakes. We won’t know until we ask her. But something you should know about babies. They are small and delicate. At...

The Future of Miss PowersChapter 8

“Did you see that?” “What?” “The creepy guy.” “Who?” “You know the creepy guy.” “Do you meant the guy who is always quoting dead people.” “Yes.” “What did he do?” “He asked Denise to dance.” “Whoa! Where’s the body?” “She didn’t kill him.” On hearing that, more people joined in the conversation. “You’re kidding. What happened?” “She said, ‘No thank you.’” “I don’t believe it.” “That’s not like her at all.” “She chewed up and spit out the last guy who asked her to...

The War to End All WorldsChapter 5

The whistling wind that roared past the hull of the Titanic made my job a lot easier. I was no adventurer. I was no daring bold hero who starred in the holoviews put out by the dozen by Hollywood. I was just a longshoreman slash glorified gardener. But I had done my fair share of scrambling around on catwalks – and the crude ceilings of the equally crude chambers that made up the main body of the Titanic’s living space were roughly on par. As I crept from metal slat to metal slat, Tjen moved...

Not OrdinaryChapter 24

“Greetings, earthwalkers! I come here with sombre news! Earth is about to be invaded. In thirty days. Which will most certainly spell the imminent doom of your entire race!” I hadn’t heard anything more ominous in my lifetime. The fact that the words were delivered in a flat tone by a humanoid creature which I am certain was not from this planet made it even more mind-numbing. Before I could gather my wits about me and assess whether our intruder was an immediate threat, Samuel sprung into...

HomebodiesChapter 14

Gath stood outside the main entrance to Triad Naval Base, looking at the time on his commer impatiently. It was now 0348 hours Universal Time, only fifty-two metric minutes before Gath was expected to report for duty at the hospital down in Libby. It was no longer even possible for him to make it there in time, but that was not what he was worried about. Yank was supposed to have been here before 0300. She had assured them she would be here by 0300. And she wasn’t here yet. Gath tried...

HomebodiesChapter 15

“Ox, Whoever damn it, you can’t win this battle!” cried Sleaze, captain of the Glock, twenty seconds after blasting the side of the Magnum with laser energy. The shot had done no damage, having been absorbed by the shield, but there were plenty more shots where that one had come from. “No,” Ox admitted. “I certainly cannot, particularly since we will not be returning fire or making any evasive maneuvers.” “Don’t make me destroy your ship!” Sleaze’s voice was nearly pleading now. “I’m not...

HomebodiesChapter 18

The Alpha Zulu system, with its single G-class star and its two inhabited planets, was, by far, the most populated system in human space. Alpha Zulu Prime, the fourth rocky planet from the sun, was home to more than nine hundred million groundborn, more than a quarter of whom were concentrated in the four major metropolitan regions of Newcal, Zito, Faraway, and AZP Ground. Newcal and Zito were the first and second largest cities in human space respectively, while Faraway and AZP Ground were...

The Destroyers Book 2 Hope and BetrayalChapter 5 Attack Rescue

Ken sat up on the medical bed and swung his legs over the side as Tina hugged him around the waist. Looking down at the young girl, he kissed her forehead, and said, "Thank you for saving me." Seeing the blush on her face he chuckled, and said, "And that goes for you too, Amy, wherever you are." "Right here, Sir. I was going over the logs to see what I had missed," she said as she appeared. Ken let Tina go, looking over his shoulder at Amy, and said, "Anything important, that I...

The Destroyers Book 2 Hope and BetrayalChapter 14 Party and Amy

Amy watched from her sensors as her Admiral and his friends had their party. On the screen, her image wandered through the party chatting with her friends. The hours go by as off duty crew came in and had a dinner of the strange foods she has never tried. She vowed that Ken would share them with her one day. Over in a small meadow, some of the many kids played a game she'd had to look up. It was called baseball. Some others played volleyball. Going over the reports, she saw her shuttles...

Warhammer 40 000 Take as PrizeChapter 2

“I am afraid I do not quite follow. I know that navigators are queerly helpful aboard ships – they cannot seem to sail without them. Further, I know that the navigator families own quite a deal of wealth. Navis Nobiline, the saying goes, never a day without a golden throne for the pocket and for the loo. But, well, I don’t see the connection between them and your cruise and the sailing and such.” Jon paused in his conversation to move a piece on the Regicide board set between him and Vynn....

The Destroyers Book 3 Civil WarChapter 5 Mars and Space

Federation Fleet Day 5 of conflict The Federation cruiser USS Atlanta LCAM 2 followed behind her sister ship the San Juan as they curled inward towards the Earth and the space docks. Three destroyers led the column with three destroyers behind them. They were nine million three hundred thousand miles from the captured space docks, and closing. Captain Joan Whitman sat in her command chair, taking a sip of her coffee. On the view screen, she could make out the landing bay of the San Juan as...

The Destroyers Book 3 Civil WarChapter 6 Battle for Mars

Mars Base: Federation Side Thirteen-year-old Mitchell Young sat back from his computer screen, looked at the final design of the APES, and watched the simulation run. Within seconds, they had devastated a unit of T'Lari warriors. Reaching over to the keypad, he typed in a few commands and watched the T'Lari change to battle Mechs and it took a little bit longer but they were able to wipe out the twenty Mechs for the loss of only five of the APES. With a grin, he said, "It's going to...

Togetherness MChapter 2 Unwritten rules

In the middle of reading about how the Hopi behaved for his Anthro course, Andy had an insight. The Hopi all followed a set of rules, and there was a book mentioned in the text that laid out those rules, a book for anthropologists; Hopi apparently weren’t given the rules all neatly set down any more than Andy had been. Maybe Anthropologists had written down the rules for American culture, too. That would be a great help. He was always running afoul of some rule that hadn’t been laid...

After the Energists Championships Concerts CompletionChapter 12 Hot Rod Lincoln

Mike’s Barracuda, Outside Labatt Guest House 9:51pm, Saturday, November 17, 1979 “Where to Z-2?” I asked after I showed Zupena how to move the passenger seat back for her ‘From Here to Eternity’ length legs. “Z, two?” my Latvian beauty softly asked with a crinkled up face. “Zupena Zupanzic ... Z-Z or ‘Z-2’,” I said with a smile. “Hum. Maybe should be ‘Z-3’ with last ‘Z-I-C’, yes?” Zupena lightly laughed. “I like that, Z-3 or maybe... ‘3-Z’,” I said with a head nod as my Barracuda...

FirebrandChapter 12 Call My Bluff

Moralez was woken by a ringing sound, fumbling in the dark as he reached for his bedside table, picking up his tablet computer. Kaisha shifted beside him, her weight making the mattress sink, the Chief struggling to save from rolling into her as he tapped at the touch screen. “Yes? What is it?” he asked groggily. He squinted, trying to make out the clock on the bright screen. It was five in the morning, this has better be good. “Security Chief?” the caller asked. It was a male voice that he...

Mayoni was lying on her right side, and she lifted her left arm up without thinking. So in tune with Mayoni's desires that he wasn't even conscious of doing it, Keona left...

El Yes We d Like Some of ThatChapter 15

WEDNESDAY 7:00 A. M. CST Crossing the Martian Plane of the Ecliptic As Miklit arose from the depths of hibernation to stand it's assigned sensor watch, a strange peace seemed to descend over it's being. After this awareness impinged on Miklit, a communication proceeded to display within it's mind, 'Greetings and welcome to the Sol system. Please remain calm, as you are in no danger. We have taken the liberty of safeguarding the self destruct mechanism your craft was equipped with and...

Outward BoundChapter 4

After the end of the Earth-Mars war, many naval personnel, from both sides, ended up in the Martian system looking for work. Some of these ex-military people ended up mining the asteroid belt. If you listened to the corporate recruiters, everybody working for them had made fortunes in the belt. If you checked around, you would soon find that working for a corporation was a form of slow suicide. Better to take a walk outside without a suit. The corporations also hired their own “Security...

Woolly Wilds 2Chapter 14

"Please report to room A2W," the AI informed me the following morning. I blanched but did as I was told. Remembering what Percy had told me reassured me slightly, but I was still nervous. "Lootenant Carter. To what do I owe this displeasure?" the major asked, when I arrived. He held up a piece of paper, gingerly, between his thumb and forefinger, a completely blank, expressionless, look on his face. "Sir?" As I stood to attention, my eyes were drawn to a photograph on the wall behind...

The Anomaly Volume One The Battle for the Known UnknownChapter 3

Intrepid - 3754 C.E. "It's beautiful here, isn't it!" exclaimed Beatrice who squeezed Paul's hand in hers as they walked through a park not far from their home on the Intrepid's outermost level. Paul squeezed her hand in return. He gazed lovingly into her eyes. What he wanted to say was that the park was nothing like as beautiful as she was, but although she was his wife and they made love so often together he still didn't find it easy to say such things to a real woman. This was odd...

The Anomaly Volume One The Battle for the Known UnknownChapter 9

Intrepid - 3754 C.E. If she were ever asked, Nadezhda Kerensky would describe herself as an essentially monogamous woman. She didn't have the desire or ambition to take on more than one lover. Surely that was all she ever needed. Nadezhda was a romantic soul. She continued to believe that one day there would be an occasion where she'd meet the one woman who'd be her partner for the rest of her life. She once thought that her ex-wife, Veronika, was to be that one woman but she no longer...

Ed BiggersChapter 10

Mike sat at one end of the conference table absently fiddling with the stack of papers in front of him. Bewildered, he said, “I was transferred to the detective squad the other day. I reported in and the captain told me that he didn’t want to know anything about the case I was working on. Not a single detective will talk to me. Even the ones I know won’t talk to me. It’s weird going into the building and being treated as though I wasn’t even there.” “I went into the IRS office and all anyone...

The Anomaly Volume One The Battle for the Known UnknownChapter 20

Milton - 3751 C.E. It was the couple's good fortune that the only space ship Lieutenant Korolyov could provide for Paul and Beatrice at short notice for their journey onto Earth was the Ambassadorial Cruise Ship, SS Milton. The luxury space ship was diverted from its journey from Jupiter orbit to the Asteroid Belt to carry the diplomatic baggage that was considered too great a risk for any commercial ship that travelled across the Solar System. The few diplomats and ambassadors aboard the...

The Anomaly Volume Three Into the UnknowableChapter 4

Intrepid - 3755 C.E. Almost the only real pleasure remaining to Captain Kerensky was the sex she still enjoyed with Beatrice. And this despite the fact that it was the android who was the author of her extraordinary confinement. Beatrice wasn't going to deny herself the pleasure of making love with the captain. And the captain had few other pleasures. She'd lost her appetite for mixing and mingling with the ship's crew and passengers. It just wasn't worth having to avoid the excruciating...

The Anomaly Volume Three Into the UnknowableChapter 5

The Sahara Desert - 3723 C.E. There was much about the Solar System that was new to Vashti. She'd already made several significant accidental errors since she'd penetrated interdimensional spacetime and materialised in the continuum in which the Anomaly's presence was most concentrated. Her primary error, of course, had been not to understand sexuality and gender. The blueprints on which she'd based her physical form were an unfortunate mix of both male and female characteristics. It...

The Anomaly Volume Three Into the UnknowableChapter 16 Intrepid 3756 C E

It was no surprise at all to Vashti that taking control of the space ship Intrepid had been so effortless. Humans were such simple animals. All she had to do was take control of the command structure and the crew and passengers were easily persuaded to follow orders. The few cases of dissent were regrettable and only to be expected, but they were easy to identify and deal with. Human history showed time after time that command structures of sometimes appalling stupidity and gross cruelty had...

Jokes and Giggles Part TwoChapter 25

THE STUDENT WHO OBTAINED 0% ON AN EXAM (No laughing allowed),, I wanted to give him 100%! but I was told that it wouldn’t be politically correct. Each answer is absolutely grammatically correct, and funny too. Q1 ... In which battle did Napoleon die? His last battle Q2 ... Where was the Declaration of Independence signed? At the bottom of the page Q3 ... River Ravi flows in which state? Liquid Q4 ... What is the main reason for divorce? Marriage Q5 ... What is the main reason for failure?...

Gabatrix MinervaChapter 3 Eutera

Ericson stood in the lab as he looked at the subroutines displayed from his arm. He had been working for five hours. Minerva’s face seemed different than the day before. He spent the time correcting the missing subroutines and nonfunctioning algorithms. The lab was as displayed as before, but there were changes. The planet Jupiter and Europa were no longer depicted on the left large screen. Instead, it had the waterfall of subroutines to his left as Minerva’s face was on display beside it....

Gabatrix MinervaChapter 5 February 7th 2349

Two days would pass for Ericson. He had downloaded all the data to Minerva’s memory core. Every cent of information except for a few things that he felt were not recommended for her, was excluded. Minerva was given the intelligence of some of the greatest scholars that anyone could ever achieve. He had the next thing that he needed to do, however, and it was the most important step for her. It would have to wait, however... Ericson was walking straight ahead inside the nearby ring. Getting...

Come in My BrainPhase II Depressed

The doctor considered what his discovery might mean. As Meredith had said, it could be part of a "Make a Wish" program, allowing terminal patients to experience joy as volunteers happily helped them live out their sexual fantasies. But there was the other side to it -- benefit to the recipient, not the sender. Meredith had reported that the transmissions from Carl gave her a good feeling surpassing any orgasm she had ever felt. What effect could that have on people beyond just a good...

The RescuedChapter 80 Tau Conference Center Day 12 Noon

Rebecca and Dawn entered the conference center, and asked where they could find Roger and Tom. A floating ball of light appeared, and they followed it to a small conference room off the main lobby. In addition to her two would-be husbands, Rebecca found Stacy Collins sitting at Tom's feet, while he chatted amiably with Lamont Anderson, the least closeted gay in the Navy. Before Rebecca could ask Roger and Tom to speak to her privately, they looked at each other, smirked, then looked at her...

SamChapter 18C

"I hope we're not getting here too late," I said as the chime above his shop door announced our arrival. Morton popped into view immediately, wearing his professional expression. You've probably heard the expression, 'face lit up with a smile'. Let me tell you, Mr. Morton's face suddenly looked like sun rose inside his head. I could see every tooth in the man's mouth. I started to introduce my partner, but he recognized her immediately and even knew her nom de guerre. "You've been...

GreeniesChapter 9B

And while Jeff Waters was learning to get along with his new playmates and his best friend Matt Mendez was getting first degree burns on his neck from the stomach acid in his vomit, Lisa Wong was enduring a tribulation of her own. She, along with fifty-nine other members of the special forces training class, were eight kilometers outside the safety of the base, in the wastelands, all of them dressed in full biosuits, their M-24s slung over their shoulders, and all of them lugging large...

GreeniesChapter 11A

MPG Base, Eden July 24, 2146 The office of Major Frank Jorgenson overlooked the flight line. Down below, on the floor, ground crews were busy doing pre-flight inspections on a group of Mosquitoes that would soon be launched on a training mission. Up above, Jorgenson himself, commander of the 27th Attack squadron, was sitting behind his small desk, his Internet terminal showing a screen saver of vaguely pornographic images. Standing before the desk, dressed in his uniform shorts and T-shirt,...

GreeniesChapter 18B

Lisa was looking through her combat goggles, trying to find the next target for her AT laser when the mass movement of marines began. She was on her belly atop a shallow hill on the northern edge of the WestHem positions. The artillery had just pounded the area they were watching and then shifted fire to another position. Suddenly hundreds of marines broke from cover, crawling out from under rocks, from beneath wrecked APCs and tanks, from within hastily constructed foxholes, and began to...
