Out In Space Novels & Stories

“This day had practically dragged. So much work that we still have to do. But we’ve managed to solve the system’s problems. Some strange malware just infected everything. But we are almost finished. Now I’m here, in my room, preparing for a boring meeting, and all I think about is you. Sweetie, you’re the only image in my head. I feel like I’m seeing you in this room, naked in my bed, making sweet love to me. I wish I was there, with you. I wish you were here, with me. Being away is driving me insane. I’ll be coming home soon and I swear to you that I’ll never be apart from you ever again.”

Joshua started heading for the stairs. "Lock the door after I leave. There are only two master keys, and you're holding one of them. If the door is locked from the inside, it can only be opened from the outside by one of the master keys. Keep the hatch closed and locked too." Joshua instructed while climbing down the stairs. "When will I be able to go outside?" Miranda asked. Joshua turned to her when he reached the door. He shrugged just slightly, and Miranda sighed. Of course she wouldn't be able to go outside.

" No, I can't move out. " " You can, okay, hold my hand. We need to get out of this, it might blast if there is any fuel left in it. " He said, sliding open the door and pulling me half on my feet and then pulling me once again to get me out of it on the wing of the plane. Then holding me in his arms he jumped and let me slide against his hard body. I landed on the ground but kept standing there in the comforting safety of his strong arms. I wanted to cry out of relief. But just then he released me and rushed us away from the plane, holding my hand.

Your wife's at home having a baby and you're out globetrotting. [Seriously, what was the excuse this time?] Jasper had replied underneath: [I told her a once-in-77-years planetary alignment opened a time portal and I got sucked through.] [Man, only you could come up with something like that. Aren't you worried she'll lose it?] [She's put up with it for three years. This time's no different. She'll be at home waiting for me like she always is.] Three years of patience and forgiveness, and all of it had become a running joke between him and his friends.

Just the scattered, blinking chaos of a society stumbling through the dark, wondering where the lights went. Sarah joined him, stumbling onto the gravelly surface of the roof. She was looking up, toward the sky. The stars were out—bright, uncaring, and entirely organic. No interference. No satellites beaming instructions. Just the vacuum of space, staring back at them. "We did it," she whispered. Anji looked at his boots. The soles were half-melted, stuck to the gravel. "We didn't fix anything, Sarah. We just made it everyone else's problem now."

The Edge of Space Inside the Ares, the sky had turned from the bruised purple of the Lagos dawn to the absolute, star-studded black of the edge of space. Jade felt the weight of three atmospheres pressing her into her seat. Through the cockpit glass, she could see the curve of the Earth, a thin blue line of fragile beauty. "Nearing apogee," Caspian’s voice came over the internal comms, sounding strained but steady. "We’re dropping back into the atmosphere over the Alps in T-minus ten minutes. Jade, get the 'Black Box' ready."

Behind me, I heard Sandy's sweet, sickening voice. "Don't leave me, Colin! I'm so dizzy. Take me to the hospital, please. I need to feed Oliver soon!" Their footsteps grew distant. Colin carried Sandy in his arms and headed in the opposite direction.

He breathes out. " I already miss those guys. " Kane said as they both stared into the morning sky. Agent Wills and Helen were nowhere to be seen in the sky . They had both long vanished into the thin air. " I need to freshen up. " The director said. " And obviously, we can't stand here forever. Let's go inside now." " Yes. We have to. " Kane replied. Both men turned and slowly walked back in.

He shivered when he remembered how brash his daughter was, and couldn’t wait for her to be another person’s problem. “This is where we part ways, God of War. Remember what it is you must do.” Two men stood side by side in space. They weren’t on any planet. They weren’t anywhere in particular. There was no world anywhere close to them. There was only darkness; stretching out as far as the eye could see. Yet these two men had no problem surviving in unsavory conditions of space. They floated calmly in the same spot as they shared their thoughts with one another.
