First Battle With Monsters

The day was a blinding haze of heat and sand. The sun burned white above the endless dunes, but I had made up my mind. Monsters, fangs, claws—how hard could it be?“You got this, Callum,” I muttered, psyching myself up as I adjusted the straps on my suit. “Just another day, another nightmare.”That’s when I heard it.A faint clink. Then a muffled thump from inside the time machine.I froze.Another sound—metal scraping against metal. I grabbed a dry stick lying nearby and edged toward the open hatch.And there they were.A swarm of small, furry creatures, each suspiciously clever-looking, darted out from the nearly-empty crates, clutching handfuls of gold bars and glittering gems. Their ears twitched like radar dishes, and their beady black eyes gleamed with mischief. Shimmering silver fur reflected the harsh sunlight as they scattered down the dunes.Three of the larger ones were struggling with the remaining loot, trying to gather as many as they could when I shouted, “Hey! That’s m

The Red's Heart

The beast lunged.I barely managed to dive aside, sand exploding around me as its claws smashed into the ground where I’d stood a heartbeat ago. The impact sent a tremor up the dune, knocking me off balance. My ears rang. My chest ached from breathing in too much heat and dust.It turned to face me—a towering monster covered in thick, obsidian scales that shimmered like armor under the sun. Three red eyes burned with fury, and its breath came out in steaming huffs that smelled like blood and ash. Every muscle in its body flexed with raw, violent power.I fired.Once. Twice. The laser gun hissed, sending twin bolts of blue light straight into its chest. They sparked off harmlessly, leaving faint scorch marks but no wound. I tried the shotgun next, pumping and firing rapidly. The shells tore into its hide—but it didn’t even flinch.“You’ve gotta be kidding me.”It roared, the sound deep enough to shake my bones. Then it moved—so fast I barely saw it. A claw swiped across my vision, and

The Red Heart (part two)

The red beast’s roar split the battlefield like thunder, shaking the very sand beneath my boots. Its eyes—molten and unblinking—locked on me, and I felt the weight of that gaze like a hammer. Around it, the towering guardians stirred, their muscles rippling like cables beneath scaled armor.Even the air trembled when it moved, carrying a stench of ash and burning oil. The dunes themselves seemed to recoil from its presence, like the land remembered what it had done before. “Alright,” I muttered, tightening my grip on the sword. “Round two.”The red one lunged first—fast, impossibly fast for its size. I barely rolled aside as its claws gouged deep furrows into the sand where I’d just been. The impact sent a shockwave through the ground that nearly knocked me off balance. Before I could recover, one of the towering beasts—a mountain of muscle and spikes—swung a clawed fist the size of a boulder. I blocked it on instinct, the sword’s edge glowing faintly as it absorbed the blow and flun

Fresh air. Actual, real, fresh air. I stepped through the portal and into a world of towering trees and cool wind, and for a second, I forgot how to breathe. The tangled chaos of the desert battlefield faded behind me, replaced by rustling leaves, chirping birds, and a soft sunlight that filtered gently through the canopy. After everything I’d been through, the sight almost felt unreal. “Finally… woods and normal life,” I muttered, letting out a long sigh. I turned just in time to see the portal close behind me, folding in on itself like a glass disk melting away. Gone. Just me and the whispering forest, with a dirt road stretching forward between the trees—and back behind me into more woods. “Well,” I said, pointing ahead. “If the portal spat me out facing this direction, then that’s the direction I’m taking.” I took a step. Something shifted in my backpack. I froze. Slowly, I slid it off my shoulder and opened it. Inside, nestled between my clothes and the SpaceX snack bars
