I remember the first time I watched AP play ball. It was like watching a hummingbird gracefully absorb all the nutrients a flower has to offer. For a split second, you feel as if you can finally see all its beauty and, in the blink of an eye, it’s gone. His legs moved so fast …
It had never started out as a sham. The visions had been an accident, living dreams that had been made mistakes the moment he had spoken of them to his parents. They had sold him to the Sovereign, before the Sovereign had been known as that and had only been a tall, handsome, ambitious young …
Jensen looked down at the back of the old man’s helmet, his hand gripping the multi-tool tight enough to make his forearm burn. He could end it right now. Laser the back of the helmet and split it open enough so it wouldn’t reseal, let the water flood the old man’s suit and finish the …
When I finished the first draft of the new short story in the World Beyond the Doom universe titled The Assassin I began thinking of ideas on how to make the next installment work. I found that I couldn’t concentrate on it at all. My mind kept pushing me to another world where space travel …
If you have not read the other installments of this series, I highly recommend you check them out. You should start with Strange Weight, then the Tunnels, A Good Life, and The False Prophet. Enjoy! Part 1 Life is meaningless without a code to live by. Most let others choose their code; religion, government, family. …
The Pull Behind My First Sci Fi Novel Sci Fi has always fascinated me. As a kid, I remember watching the Alien franchise, the Matrix, Event Horizon, Star Wars, and being enthralled by them. The world someone has to create through their own imagination, even if parts are flawed, is wonderful. A few years ago …
AP and I took lead. I stormed through toward the front door as quickly as I could. As I breached the opening and reached out for the door handle, I notcied a single tentacle slowly slither over the top of the door, as if letting me know we would not be going through there. I …
The Horrifying Truth of an Apocalypse It may be fun for us to envision ourselves in different scenarios as an apocalyptic survivor, but it is always a horrifying experience. When the end of civilization as we know it comes, it’s impossible to imagine it as a favorable event. Sure, there may be extremists that stock …
The Types of Post Apocalyptic Survivors I’ve alluded to many important people within the post apocalyptic world I created being psychopaths/sociopaths. They are not known as such in this specific post apocalyptic wasteland. They are simply strong men and women without a conscience. The other apocalyptic survivors can see that there is something not quite …
My Fascination with Post Apocalyptic Worlds I’ve always been fascinated by post apocalyptic stories. I’ve read through quite a few that really cause me to think about the way that I would behave if I were put into a similar situation. We always come up with ideas, daydreams even, of the way we would handle …
It’s official! Today is the first day of my early ‘retirement’ from the company. It doesn’t mean that everything has become involvement free. I am sure that over the next couple of months it will require a small level of engagement. We have to ensure that everything is running properly as well as make the …
The house was just a front. Beneath the old, dilapidated building was a massive, state-of-the-art lab. I don’t mean like clear walls, white coats type lab. I mean like a factory, a self sustaining factory, or lab, or whatever! There were tanks, clear and see through with what seemed like artificial flesh being…cooked inside of …
We continued on our way toward the house. Turns out everyone was full of questions, Benny most of all. He was like a mad man, firing one after the other, but it wasn’t like the other two weren’t without theirs either. They all seemed to think that I had all the answers. They couldn’t pull …
