The unfortunate space marine
I awoke in the wreckage of my shuttle, checking for my limbs and inhaling the burning oil. Wait, burning oil? I scrambled up, grabbed my rifle and rolled out. I had no clue where I was besides an alien planet with possibly man-eating animals and aliens. Looking around to the dual-finned tail end of our shuttle, I saw a rock outcropping dropping into a dip in the ground. Getting my very jelly legs under me I tossed my rifle and myself into it. The shuttle finally burned back to its fuel source and both engines combusted flinging metal and burning fuel in a cluster about the forest. Thankfully it was wet enough that it would not ignite the greenery.

Lucky and Nickel walked down the enormous steel hallway leading to the floor boss’ office, a journey they’d never taken before their entire time living in their factory campus. They were ammunition manufacturers in Fountainhead Armory Aerie-9, the place responsible for making most of the drones and weaponized vehicles that blighted Vargos’ skyline at all hours.

It was me...
Dear Reader: It still baffles me why we "molded" this site, but I couldn't do anything to change their minds about it. I was charged with preparing and dropping the samples at the indicated locations, but somebody else was responsible for monitoring and maintaining the equipment we use for that. You can't blame me for trying to "save" the mission when everything malfunctioned. If I was going to be remembered for anything, this would be the reason.

Carl and Jaylene carried Denny and Jenny, while Adam received a piggyback ride from Thomas. Agent “Don’t call me Rance” Cochran led the way, carrying Felix inside his carrier.

An American Biker in Another World. Content Warning.
An American Biker in Another World Book 1 Chapter 1 The Summoning The rumbling of Preacher's Bike cut through the stillness of the desert heat as he rode down the winding roads of Route 66, the historic highway stretching endlessly before him. The sun hung high, casting long shadows that danced on the asphalt like wraiths from the past. Preacher had longed for this trip, a journey back to the innocence of youth, reminiscent of the happy days he spent with his parents when they moved to Southern California. He was only five then, his small hands gripping the leather seat as they trundled down the sunbaked roads, laughter echoing amidst the hum of the tires.

“Alright, how do they feel?” Mackey asked as Kendo wandered out of the salon towards the car. He’d gotten a lot of augmentations since pledging with the Gilded Teeth over ten years ago, but the golden dentures were the symbol he’d made it. He was finally a soldier with the group and everyone would know who he ran with the second he opened his mouth from that day forward.

The Lost Wallet: A Crypto Mystery
It all started with a garage sale. My neighbor, Mr. Thompson, was moving out, and he was selling everything—old furniture, dusty books, and even a box of outdated electronics. I wasn’t planning to buy anything, but a small, unassuming hard drive caught my eye. "Five bucks," he said. I handed him the cash, thinking it might be useful for storing old photos.
