They slowed down within ten … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Twenty-Three, “Fuchsia Light” – 2nd revision →

Project Super Nex, Chapter Twenty-Four: Quentin’s Wishes

The dust covered Arcaipolis in a dense sheet, shadowing the structures that the explosion had blown apart. The particles began to swirl through the city and pellet the Grimhet carcasses and the remnants of buildings, statuary, and roads. Some were pitted fiercely enough that they crumbled apart even further and were blown off the ground. … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Twenty-Four: Quentin’s Wishes →

Project Super Nex, Chapter Twenty-One: Audeus Maxum

Project Super Nex, Chapter Eighteen: Trust

"The white button, not the red one, you skinny geek! The white button!" Gene's hand stopped whizzing over the dashboard. "Your guidance is marvelously impassioned. Would you like to indulge it?" He motioned to his own pilot's chair. "I'd love to. In fact, I will." Penelope threw off her seatbelt and zipped off her seat, … Continue reading Project Super Nex, Chapter Eighteen: Trust →

"Okay, Sid, I know how much ya love wanderin' 'cross offbeat rags, but ya gotta put that scarf away. For cryin' out loud, it's too twenty-third century!" "The SPACE Union flyer is timeless!"

Traveling to Vestral, weaving through the bustling marketplace with its pungent spices and raucous noises, being greeted by Freye Urewlil — it was familiar for Wyatt.
