The rain in Hollywood doesn't wash anything clean. It just makes the grime slickEleven years. I'd been twenty-eight for eleven years. The mirror showed a different man. Gray skin around the eyes. Papery. Like old film left too close to a light. Sores on my arms. Hidden under long sleeves. Months now. I blamed the studio lights. The stress. The cheap whiskey. None wrong. None the whole truth. The truth was under the sink. In the vials. Tiny. Amber. Glowing in the dim light....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 ReviewsPlease log in to like, share and comment!

THE LAST LIGHTThe antenna was old. That was the first thing Matt Wheeler noticed when he arrived at Outpost Delta—that everything about it was old. The dish was scratched and faded. The transmitter unit was a model that had been discontinued five years ago. The cables were frayed in places and patched with electrical tape in others. It was the kind of equipment that the Army kept because replacing it would...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Last Breath of the Moors (V-01)The fog did not merely drift through the streets of Blackwood; it possessed them. It was a thick, suffocating shroud of grey that clung to the soot-stained bricks and muffled the desperate cries of the coal miners. For Clara, the fog was a mirror of her own existence—obscure, stifled, and perpetually cold. At twenty-four, Clara was an anomaly in the North of England. A woman with a medical...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

Sample V-11: The Covenant of the Great Coil(Style C: Grand Narrative) In the Age of the Iron Crown, when the world was still raw and the gods spoke in the rustle of leaves, there lived a knight named Kael. He was a man of shattered honor, exiled from the High Citadel for a crime of mercy. He wandered the Forbidden Wastes, a landscape of obsidian shards and singing sands, where the laws of men were replaced by the whims of the elements....0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Hollow RedemptionBerlin, 1952. The city was a jagged scar of concrete and barbed wire. Klaus operated in the grey zones, the places where the Stasi and the CIA traded secrets for cigarettes. He had built a reputation as a "Philanthropist of the Underground," a man who stole classified documents from the ruins of the Third Reich and leaked them to the press to "expose the truth." The world loved Klaus. He was...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Osmium ParadoxThe paradox of Caris Minor was not found in its geology, but in its silence. To the Federal investigators, the planet was a void—a place of 'primitive' inhabitants and 'untapped' resources. To Thomas Wesley, however, the planet was the loudest place in the galaxy, provided one knew how to listen to the silence. His assignment had begun in the granite corridors of the Federal Building on Fifth...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

Six NamesThe .38 sat in Mike Kovac's palm like it weighed nothing, which it didn't—two pounds, maybe, or less. But it felt heavier. It felt like his father. Mike had found the gun in a safe deposit box at the bank on South State Street. The box was number 447, his father's number, and Mike had gotten the key from a drawer in his father's desk where his father kept things he never talked about. The key...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Star EmpireCassius Vaughn was born in the spaceport of New Georgia, the agricultural world orbiting Jupiter, where the air smelled of fertilizer and ozone and the people spoke with a accent that made the old families call it backwater talk. His father died in a lift shaft accident that everyone agreed was an accident. His mother sewed uniforms for the port workers and sometimes, on Fridays, looked at the...0 Comments 0 Shares 7 Views 0 Reviews

The Man Who Was Not Yet AliveBefore Frank pulled the switch, the machine was neither functional nor broken. It existed in a superposition of both states, a quantum ambiguity that had been preserved by two decades of neglect. The circuits were intact enough to be potentially operational. The wiring was old enough to be potentially dangerous. The machine was simultaneously a working drone controller and a pile of scrap...0 Comments 0 Shares 9 Views 0 Reviews

The Glass DriverThe heat in the Nevada desert was a tangible thing, a weight that pressed down on everything that moved. I had been driving for six hours, past the skeletal remains of ghost towns and the bleached bones of cattle that had chosen the wrong patch of shade to die under. The road was a straight black line through the white earth, and the only company I had was the sound of my own engine and the...0 Comments 0 Shares 9 Views 0 Reviews

The Twilight of the Federation(V-11: New York Urban) The High Council of the Galactic Federation met in a chamber of floating obsidian, where the light of a dozen captured stars illuminated the faces of the most powerful beings in the known universe. Senator Vane sat at the edge of the obsidian table, his fingers drumming a restless rhythm on the polished surface. He was a man of sharp angles and sharper ambitions, a master...0 Comments 0 Shares 7 Views 0 Reviews

Winter at the WorkhouseThe cold in Whitechapel does not announce itself. It does not knock on the door or ask permission. It arrives the way a debt arrives -- quietly, inevitably, and with compound interest. Mary Sullivan felt it first in her hands. They were already ruined from twenty years of scrubbing other people's floors, the skin cracked and red as raw meat, the knuckles swollen to the size of walnuts. But on...0 Comments 0 Shares 9 Views 0 Reviews
