Sci Fi
Touched
“Stop him!” As the smoke cleared, they saw me. I turned and ran as far and as fast as my legs would take me. Round corners, past shops, between mothers clinging to their baskets, stepping away from me as I ran through the crowded market. My worn-out shoes caused my heel to make contact with the hot earth, my breath stinging my lungs, gripping the small token in my hand I ran towards home. I could see it just ahead as I came around the old factory wall, our three room cracker-box house with the sunbaked walls, pockmarked by the frequent dust storms. It was the largest in our row. Suddenly I’m whipped around, stopped in my tracks by the tight grip on my right arm. I fight to break loose, the token goes flying from my hand and buries itself into the dust. In a heartbeat I’m surrounded by Enforcers, glaring at me from behind their shielded helmets, pointing at me with gloved fingers.

Falling Aeon
Jav’iin ran through the floating city of Aeon, avoiding the battles that ran hot all around. The angels had saved them from a complete route but they were still going to get destroyed if something didn’t change. Even with their timely arrival they were still outnumbered twenty to one. Unless he could access the Godcore, something the Angels themselves couldn’t do in thousands of years they were toast. A scythe from a Cyberdark Reaper interrupted his thoughts and tried to remove his head, but he slid under it, avoiding the strike and continuing on his way. Unfortunately persistence was in their programming and the monstrosity gave chase. Jav’iin hissed. There was no time for this.

Erasure
Sara ran for what felt like an hour. Pure adrenaline. No thinking. She had to catch her breath. She slowed down and stumbled around for a little until the screaming in her head came back. She ran again, her naked body breaking branches, scraping her skin away in microcosms. Her frail body pin-balled from tree to tree in the moonlight with swollen eyes and blurred vision. It was just wooded, a forest, maybe? Her heart was giving out. She could sense it—warmth evading quickly from chest to limbs. The screams grew louder, more distinct. She couldn’t feel her legs. She collapsed on the ground, her mind swelling with the excruciating wails.

Division
Chapter One – Essence Planet: Gaia Diara: Women’s Division The sound of high heels clicking against the freshly waxed tile floor alerts me that someone is on their way. I mentally begin snoring, believing it’s one of the maids, tidying up. They’ll hear me telepathically and turn around, continuing with their work for the night. The sound stops suddenly— mission accomplished. When it starts back up, I groan quietly. Madame must be doing her rounds, again. She’ll make me write sentences until my hand bleeds if she catches me up and not in bed.

Ever So Boring
I stood on the cold gray concrete of the cracked sidewalk as a brisk September wind brushed against my face, and waited for a metaphorical tumbleweed to dance across the empty silent street in front of me. Unfortunately the only thing that showed up was a large yellow Gandmerlin county school bus.

The old man resembled a pale corpse with only his bright red nose veins displaying vitality as sickening as ever.
