Memories of a Cyborg

When the explosion erupted, I threw myself behind the cover and glanced over the edge. In a field intersected by hills and trees of a sparse canopy, a red blinker flickered. Clouds darkened the day, and the fog hovered around the crater downed Stratagma fighter jet made. The radar did not show the presence of …

Children of Gliba (story and critique) FREE

Children of Gliba By Shawn   A fuzzy-haired boy slammed a tin plate with a crowbar atop the ruins. When he made a sizeable dent, he looked at the abandoned buildings. The hollow structures whistled with air. He wiped his nose with the back of his arm covered in festering wounds, gazing into the mist …

Children of Gliba (announcement)

Passengers rocked with the movement of the train. Most were on the phone, immersed. A chubby black woman looked neither left nor right, stared out the window opposite her seat, and a drunk in the back yelled verses of a song I didn’t recognize. Someone coughed. Everybody glared at the homeless man asleep over four …

Memoirs of MBT Arthur (story and critique) (FREE)

I counted 18 425 days since my activation. Time flies when you are seeking the next mission. My front deck crackled above the cooling heart of 1 500 horsepower, while the core status flashed red.

Immortals (story and critique) FREE

The noise beneath the window woke me up. I pushed the curtains and glanced at the street below. Miller yelled at some poor guy who jumped in front of the car. He didn’t say a word, he just kept staring at Miller while walking away. Bystanders acted unfazed and got moving when Miller showed them …

Shadow Star (Reloaded)

Stories. I loved to hear them from my grandfather. He always had something fun to tell, and I always had a will to listen. Everyday he would climb the hill after the supper and spend an hour on the top, watch the birds fly, see the second Sun setting behind the vast plain and wait …
