“Throw yourself into the unknown // With pace and a fury defiant // Clothe yourself in beauty untold // And see life as a means to a triumph” -Gang Of Youths, Achilles Come Down-

James and Zhu crept forward as the massive door screeched open. Metal pistons squealing and hydraulic hissing as the door peeled itself apart and exposed a sliver of a space on the other side that looked like an elevator shaft that had never heard of OSHA. He kept low and be...

Okay. So.
This is the last chapter of book two. This, naturally, leads to some questions. So just to cover as much as I can now : there will be a book three, I don't know when because I'm trying to stave off burnout. My current tentative plan is to, in a week, begin posting a new story for a while, which I plan to only be a single book. When that's done, I'll look at going back to consistent App Chaps, but until that time, I may post advance book three chapters a...

The Daily Grind - Chapter 244
“It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness. Every day, we are confronted with the knowledge of further destruction of Earth at our hands: the extinction of animal species, of flora and fauna . . . things that took five billion years to evolve, and suddenly we will never see them again because of the interference of mankind. It filled me...

The Daily Grind - Chapter 243
“In the stories my people tell - the old ones, the ones that matter - the hero loses her mentor. She lives, grieves, and moves on to save the world. … It should have been me. Not her. My hero is dead, and all she wanted, all she fought so hard for...was just a home. The simplest thing. The smallest.” -Ajani Goldmane, Release-

James felt prepared for basically anything when he walked into the back briefing warehouse. A space that really needed a better name than ‘briefing warehouse’, since they only occasionally used it for briefings as opposed to other verbs like ‘planning’ or ‘researching’, and they never used it as a warehouse.
He wasn’t prepared for a crowd.
Not ...

I've been having a really, really hard time writing this story lately. I'm gonna try to press through to the end of book two, but I might need to take a break. I don't honestly remember if I've said this before.

Mid afternoon of the next day, after an amount of sleep that didn’t quite feel right, a breakfast that made him feel like needed another six hour long nap, and petting a friendly dog at his door, James returned to the Lair.
And then, once there, he found he had very little to do. 2023-06-24 22:36:03 +0000 UTC View Post
