Stranded In Space Book Novels & Stories

Everyone jumped. Carla immediately rushed into the room. She saw Amanda covering her mouth, her eyes red as she stared at the floor. "Mom, what happened? What..." She walked closer as she spoke. Then she froze. The long straw was lying on the floor and broken in half. "It broke?" Her breathing became shaky. A terrible feeling settled in her chest. She and Amanda looked at each other. At the same time, they remembered what the fortune teller had said years ago. "These straws decide life and death. The short straw represents the younger son. The long straw represents the older son. If one breaks, it means that soul has been destroyed."

She's nice about it, giving me a look of pity before scanning my boarding pass and motioning me down the hall. I clamber down the aisle of the plane-this one much larger than the one I just vacated-covered in sweat, face beet red, and panting like I just ran a marathon. I do the walk of shame to row twenty-one as people make disparaging remarks about my disheveled look and my inability to plan more time between flights. By the way, I did not book this flight. It was booked for me. I'm embarrassed, thirsty, and need to change clothes, but relieved I made it. That is, until I find my seat, put my suitcase in the overhead compartment, and plop my tired ass down next to the most beautiful man I

Luckily where they were now was far enough away from the children, so they wouldn't be tarnished by Jane's words just now. "You see that? That girl is nuts!" Eros shouted at Marcell. Marcell just smiled faintly while taking a deep breath. "Ah, your hips have gotten bigger too!" Minie chirped, which immediately made Jane close her eyes tightly. *** "Just take me to Sam's office, I'm bored," Luna begged as they left the orphanage. "Okay," said Marcell briefly. Luna shifted so she could sit facing Marcell, the girl did sit in the front because she wasn't used to sitting in the back seat.

Let's go. "Is Isabella not there, then?" Marlo questioned. "No. Someone abducted her. She must have left Earth long ago and been somewhere in intergalactic space." Aleksander kept his eyes on the radar screen, but as soon as he gave him instructions, his thoughts began to wander. Marlo walked quickly. "Yes, they are in a compartment with their favorite foods. Again, Aleksander breathed heavily. His mood transformed to awareness as they reached the galaxy. He kept staring at the radar.

Eve shakes her head making me worry but she says, "I mean he's okay. He and Bob met and they were in the safe place but everything there was all red. It was like they were in a garden but all red." "That's no ordinary place," Elphaba commented. Eve nodded, "Exactly. It seems like Esther's paradise." Esther and I's eyes met. But Elphaba spoke, "Esther's paradise appeared when she was born. Dollera has nothing like this." Aunt Narniah and Elphaba's met. But I, breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Art was surely safe. "Unless..." Eve trailed off. "Unless?" Sarah asked obviously guessing what Eve meant.

Big and bold. Kael scoots over, creating a small sliver of space for me, and I fold myself awkwardly onto his tiny bed. My body contorts, cramped into angles that feel more like origami than comfort. I open the book, and of course—it is about space, just like the rest of his room, where planets dangle from the ceiling and stars scatter across the wallpaper. At least it’s educational, though that’s little comfort. A groan slips out before I can stop it. Which fool bought this monstrosity? Then realization crashes down like a cruel punch. It was me. I cursed myself with this. Never again will I encourage bedtime reading.

“The soil there is still viable. It was meant for our new world.” With a strength that seemed to come from the seed itself, she led them. Sela, Leo, and Arin helped the weak and disoriented, offering sips of water, a steadying arm. The walk through the ship’s corridors was a slow, solemn procession. They passed viewports showing the endless, star-dusted blackness of space. Some of the sleepers flinched from it, the reality of their isolation truly hitting them for the first time.

CHAPTER 6: Zara’s Pov BOOK 3 - Alien Ovipositor Probe "Houston, this is Salvage Runner Seven. I'm breaching the derelict now there's no signs of life, no power readings, let's do the standard sweep and scavenge." I cut the comm before Houston could respond with their usual safety protocol bullshit. Three months alone in deep space meant I'd stopped caring about regulations somewhere around week two. The airlock hissed open and I floated into darkness that smelled like metal and something organic. The scent made my skin prickle.

Sure, he’s felt cold and his skin hair stood up due to fear but he’s never felt the need to run away. Then he heard the cafeteria door open. _________________________________________________________________________ Red reached the building. It was abandoned, something that the file didn’t note. In fact, the file told her that Anna had many friends here. What happened? Contemplating if her travel here was wasted, Red sees a car parked nearby. The car was run down and old but it was functioning. Approaching it, Red uses a folded piece of cloth to touch the exhaust pipe. After a few seconds, she notices that the cloth was still warm.
