Crumbling Mid Air Thief Novels & Stories

The air grew heavy with the scent of burning circuits. The floor exploded in a storm of sparks. The lights turned a blinding, soul-searing white. "Is this the end?" Chalida shouted, pulling Pim behind a marble pillar as the floor gave way beneath them. "It’s just the beginning of the crash," Pim replied, watching as the entire system—their life, their name, and their fortune—began to disintegrate in a cascade of terminal data errors. The floor collapsed. They fell, not into death, but into the dark, churning heart of the city’s underbelly, the roar of the crumbling tower drowning out their final, synchronized laugh.

"And you're reckless." "At least I'm consistent." He almost smiled. Almost. Then the heartbeat came again. Thump. This time, the ground beneath us trembled. I lost my balance. Steele caught me around the waist. "Are you alright?" "Yeah." I looked down. A thin crack had appeared beneath my feet. My eyes widened. "Steele..." The crack slowly spread. Then another. And another. The ground began to split. Steele pulled me backward. "Get away!"

This get away is more of a toxins related one. I need to get my mind off this bullshit. Now. S H A T T E R E D "ASSHOLE!" I grunted while laying another punch to the jocks now broken, bloody, damaged face. He was almost knocked out cold on the dirty alleyway ground as I kept his body pinned down which was almost two times bigger than mine. He pissed me off at the wrong time. I looked up for a split second during my chain of punches and that's when I saw it. The red and blue flashing lights.

He quickly cleared his throat. “I am in the bathroom.” The other person was about to open when they heard his voice. “Sorry sir I didn’t know it was occupied.” It was one of the junior workers and his voice was shaking from fear. I was relieved my momentum was distu…….. I didn’t finish that as his finger went deep inside. He was not even scared we were almost caught. “How are you calm?” “They are called stolen moments for this reason. The adrenaline, the zeal and anticipation should feel like this.”

Something snapped and blood poured from the unwashed miscreant's face. A massive paw held a man with two black eyes upright in front of Aurelia. “Talk,” Zinjo roared next to the terrified thief's ear. Rows of yellow rotted teeth exposed themselves to the princess, and bloodshot eyes opened wide with fear. “I don't know anything,” The thief cried out. He dared to look around the room, “Are they all dead?” “No, they will sleep for a time,” Zinjo growled softly. A delicate hand slapped the gargoyle visage of the thief, “Name?”

The Last Ascent The sky was collapsing. Reality itself cracked like glass under pressure. BOOOOOOOOM! A massive section of the Bastion broke away and vanished into the void below. Thomas barely kept his footing. Cassian did the same. Eryx landed on a fractured platform beside them. All three Heirs stood on unstable ruins of the floating castle. Above them— the eye watched. Endless. Unblinking. Alive. God. No. Fair. Absolutely not.

The sky fractures like glass. Students scream below. The air tears. And for one impossible second Everything freezes. Aidan suspended between light and earth. Choice suspended. Then He screams. Not in pain. In refusal. The heat explodes outward. Not rupture. Not rewrite. Rejection. The golden seam shatters. Light splinters across the sky. The doorway collapses. The lattice disintegrates into nothing. The pressure vanishes instantly. Aidan drops. I catch him. The courtyard is wreckage. Cracked stone.

It crashes to the tile. I drag it to the bedroom door. I wedge the corner of the bathroom door into the crack. A lever. I brace my feet against the wall. I pull with everything I have. CRACK. The frame shatters. The deadbolt rips free of the dry rot. The bedroom door swings open. I sprint down the hallway. It’s empty. Ghostly. I fly down the stairs, skipping steps, my hand sliding down the railing. The clubhouse is silent. Eerily silent.

A kick fluttered against her palm—*alive, alive, alive. The pilot’s voice crackled over the intercom. “Ma’am, we’ve got company.” She jerked upright. Through the clouds, a black jet loomed, its tail emblazoned with the Vanclair crest. The co-pilot screamed. “They’re locking onto us—!” The world exploded in light. **Chapter 15: Gone**

"And you never stop lying." She tilted her head. "I gave you a chance. You threw it away." I aimed the gun at her, cocking it. "This is over tonight." A sly smile rose up her mouth, "Is it?" The ground beneath my feet groaned. I had no time to move out of the way as the entire building came down. Falling into the Unknown The ground beneath us collapsed. I dangled in mid-air for a second before my body fell onto wreckage. Agony burst in every direction as I rolled blindly in the dark.
