With Dogs
No way out of this. The men's shouts were louder now, closer. Time was running out. She stood her ground, eyeing the bristling fur, the bared teeth, the pairs of intense eyes skewering her to the spot.

Hank's Monster. Content Warning.
Warning: mentions of domestic abuse and the death of a loved one. Jagged pieces of color lay on the kitchen floor -- a plate from a dinner set gifted by his parents on our wedding day and drops of my blood. I can feel Hank clutching me close to him like a child with their raggedy toy, ready to lash out at any one who tries to take it from them. He keeps repeating a tearful mantra in my ears, sounding desperate for me to hear them.

Human Souls
“Wake up, Max! We gotta go now. The last ship leaves in 30 minutes!” I immediately awoke when I heard a loud shout from Peter, a friend in the military. We just returned to Earth to secure the last bit of Ultraprazivela, an ingredient found deep beneath the ten-kilometer mark of the ocean. This ingredient is one of the most critical chemicals that could save a billion people on Mars. Its size may be only ten centimeters, but when combined with Vextravinut, another Martian ingredient, it can produce one million units of energy. This energy, in turn, can be used to create 1,000 billion units of Oxy, allowing one billion people to breathe normally on Mars within the next ten years.

A Detour
WHAM! The bounty hunter’s punch felt like a steam locomotive derailing directly into Curran’s face. His vision flared town fair fireworks before going grainy and dark, and somewhere, dimly, he felt blood gush from his nose. He gasped, sucking droplets in along with a ragged lungful of musty afternoon air. His vision returned enough for him to see the son of a bitch in the middle of another swing, this one was aimed at his gut.
