Thousands lay dead on a field, slippery with blood. Two remained walking... Private Gish and the Simian Cyborg that accompanied him in battle. Strangely, the sensors from the alien ship did not detect Gish. The cyborg was undetectable because it wasn't human and only partially flesh. Both soldiers fell to their stomachs, behind a pile of bodies, covered with scarab beetles, to watch the ship. Barely visible, in the dark, it's interior lights silhouetted the alien warriors, marching down the descending ramp to the ground. Gish's time was limited and perhaps the cyborg. It was time to pray.

The Elsewhither
by: D.R. Humphreys (the DreamWriter) Visiting a different country every year on vacation and invading those little rustically rural areas to practice your hand at your hobby, it's easy to get lost and suddenly not recognize where you are. Things aren't where you thought they were or look different. As you search, you stumble, and things become more confusing. You suddenly find yourself away from people subject to their uncomfortable absence.

Meet-cute at the Corner Table
She hurries into the dimly lit coffee shop with a battered laptop pinched between her elbow and side, shedding raindrops from her jacket. Taking her place in line behind an elderly man with a soggy newspaper, she inhales greedily of the familiar air infused with hints of freshly ground coffee and notes of burnt everything bagels.
