Endless Thirst New World Novels & Stories

desire and need build to a desperate point as the alien trembled. Sloan gulped the fluid that flowed from the alien. He tried to pinpoint the taste. That wasn't jizz, and it wasn't saliva. Raspberries? Sloan licked and tried to place that particular essence. Raspberries and cool refreshing water. He drank and drank. He needed the water, and he savored it like this was the most delicious thing he'd ever had slip over his tastebuds. The flavor was like life and light. His mind seemed to expand with every suck.

I spent the rest of the night without a drop of water or a whiff of food. The next day came and went the same way. By the third day, I was almost at the verge of death. I kept myself alive with the rats I caught and fed on. I was so weakened from hunger and parched with thirst that I couldn't move a single muscle of my body. Finally, the third day arrived. The New moon festival would end, and the three guest packs would return to their respective territories.

We were falling through a tunnel of dark matter. As the darkness consumes the vault, Lyra hears a final, mechanical chime. A screen flickers to life in the void, displaying a world she doesn't recognize a lush, green planet with two moons. A text prompt appears in her mind: "New Game Initialized. Players: 4. Objective: Survival. Warning: The Broker is still among you."

She wasn’t going to completely trust this man not to do anything sneaky. She stayed awake the entire drive. Hours went by and it didn’t seem like the mercenary was stopping for anything, not even to take a piss. Her mouth had gone dry. She’d already been thirsty back at the caravan and she was now parched. Her lips were peeling with how dry they were. She was to the point she thought she might do anything for a drop of water. Thirst was the first thing she found that made her desperate. The hours passed much slower than when she was riding in the back of the caravan. So slow that she was starting to lose her mind. All she could focus on was the touch of the mercenaries hand on her stomach an

A rim of cool metal presses against my lips. Liquid sloshes at the barrier of cracked skin, cooling, life giving. Water. The moment I taste it I realize how thirsty I am. My throat aches with dryness. I drink greedily, gulp after gulp, until the cup is empty. I'm panting when I'm done, my throat burns. “Easy there. That’s it,” the voice murmurs, “slow breaths.” I inhale, shaky. My vision blurs, then begins to sharpen.

"But remember this: the Architects aren't the only ones watching the Spire. There are other cities in the Ash. Other Kings. And they aren't going to play a game for what they want." The First Drink An hour later, in the lower tiers, the first of the clean water fountains began to spray. Elara watched as a line of "New Breed" children, their fur matted and grey, drank their fill. Kael sat beside her, wrapping a thermal bandage around her ribs. He didn't have a spark, but the heat of his hand was enough. "We won the water," Kael said softly. "What's next on Rhys’s list?" Elara looked at the dark horizon, where the blinking silver light of Julian was the only star in the sky.

Martha was still there, slumped against her pillar, exhausted but alive. ​The mercenaries who had been following the water—men in black tactical gear and breathing masks—were floating in the water, their weapons useless. They weren't dead, but they were trapped in the shimmering, thickened water, unable to move. ​Alaric looked at his hands. He looked at me. He looked like a god who had just remembered he was once a man. ​"It's over," he whispered. ​"No," I said, looking up at the skylight. I could hear the helicopters circling above. I could hear the Council members screaming into their radios. "The flood was the end of the old world. Now, we go to the surface and start the new one."

I don’t want to dirt his bed. "There's nothing like this in our village. I'm just used to street games," I said while looking at the words 'Game over' on the screen of his big television. "Street games, huh?" That seemed new to him. I turned to Luxious. "Street games like: chasing, hide-and-seek, heaven and hell, and more. It's fun especially when you have a lot of friends." Luxious went silent. "Why?" I was nervous at the expression on his face.

The Hive Queen's citadel crumbles as the roots consume it, her screams cut short. Eden gasps, his skin splitting into bark. "Go... before it... anchors..." The Hunter drags me back as the roots spread, weaving a new world over the old. Eden's body disintegrates, his smile the last thing to fade. The hunger never ends. But now, it's *ours*. --- **Kelly Thompson's POV** The new world isn't kind. It's *alive*.
