Her text read, "Hey girl. Sorry I've been ghosting you… Vance and I have been a little busy. He's magnificent by the way (I'll have to tell you all the deets). Would you want to come catch up? The stray compound has an amazing indoor pool with a fantastic view. You should come see it!" Lucy was thrilled she could see her friend again. She texted back right away and started to clean up the table after finishing her coffee. She was looking forward to talking with Sara. Perhaps Sara could give her advice on the topic of mates. ***** Later that morning, Lucy pulled up to the stray compound realizing this was her first time visiting Gabriel's home. From what she understood, the strays who had bee

My wealthy parents, Derek Miller and Veronica Wright, worry that my brother Wilbur Miller and I will abuse our power and status. To prevent this, they assign us to their aviation company, forcing us to work the longest and most exhausting flights. During one flight to Kampland, a riot breaks out in the country, and the return flight is canceled. I call Mom and Dad, begging them to send a plane to bring Wilbur and me home, but they rebuke me coldly. "William Miller, fearlessness in the face of danger is the most basic quality of a flight attendant! Stop thinking about running away from your problems! You will return only when that return flight does." Desperate, Wilbur and I pull every st

“We both know how old they are, so take extra care of them, you hear? Do whatever it takes to get them in front of this computer carefully.” “Okay,” he said. “Should… should we try for Friday? I think that’s plenty of time, yeah?” Eva’s nose crinkled. She didn’t know when Friday occurred any longer, or really when any of those days occurred. But it didn’t matter. “There aren’t any day or night cycles out in space,” she said. “Instead, just figure out the best time, and then send me a message how many hours away it is. I’ll do my best to stick to that time. I’ll let you know if we have to change or rearrange.”

​The Ghost in the Cradle ​"Not a ghost, little one," the woman replied, her image shimmering with the immense processing power of the Cradle. "And not quite the woman you remember. When I realized the Sterling Board was going to turn my children into data-slurry, I didn't just hide the Mother-Root. I uploaded my own consciousness into the Deep-Space Relay. I’ve been out here for a hundred years, building a nursery for the end of the world." ​The Respiration docked with the central hub—a sphere of living wood and crystalline glass suspended in the vacuum. Kael, Nora, and Elia stepped out into an atmosphere that felt like a warm summer evening on Earth.

He pushed off the wall, grabbed a loose metal strut, and swung it at the artifact with all his strength. The shard cracked. Blue energy exploded outward. The illusions shattered. The station alarms screamed. “Warning. Orbital destabilization. Core breach imminent.” They were out of time. Damian grabbed Alex, propelling them both toward the emergency pod. They barely made it. Strapped in as the pod ejected. Behind them, the Cradle station bloomed into a silent fireball against the black of space. They tumbled through orbit in the tiny pod, Earth a blue marble below, the artifact’s final pulse still echoing in their veins.

New Dawn drifted through deep space. Eight thousand refugees. Wolves, hybrids, humans. All fleeing a dying world. But they were not safe yet. "Life support is failing," the chief engineer reported three days after the jump. "Hull breaches on six decks. Oxygen recyclers offline. Water purification systems critical." Nova stared at the damage reports. They had escaped Earth only to die in space. "How long do we have?" "Forty-eight hours. Maybe less." "Can we fix it?"

Perhaps Tina was already dead! Just then, my phone vibrated. The call went through! "What's going on over there?" I asked hurriedly. "Mister, it's really you! Help me!" It was Tina's voice. She was still alive! She then described her current situation: she was dressed in red and hanged from a beam by a rope. She had used her foot to press the hands-free function. Her mother was also there, but her hands and feet were tied. What was going on?

Ji'lahni said looking at the spaceship as it got further and further away. “Ji'lahni what the hell are you talking about? Granddaddy? Whose granddaddy is trying to kill me and why? And why is O on another planet? How long was I gone and am I actually dead and living in some kind of limbo hell, because what the fuck is happening around here?” Trixie said, looking around at everybody making sure she wasn't really dead. “Oh God you have no idea what has been going on. We don't have time to tell you everything, not yet anyway. We wanted to wait until you were well, your injury was really bad and we didn't want to stress you out or make you worry while you were injured.” Ji'lahni said as Trixie l

The stars outside the viewing window began to stretch. At first, it looked like a simple distortion, like the universe itself had been pulled into thin glowing threads. Then the ship shuddered softly, and reality folded inward around them. Lyra grabbed the edge of the console instinctively. “…That’s not normal.” Adrian held onto the railing beside her. “For space travel, I’m not sure we know what normal is.” Outside the window, the stars vanished completely. Darkness swallowed everything.

After they completed the challenge and got their rewards, the Three Energy Space started to collapse, surrounding everyone in distorted space and sending them somewhere else. Thankfully, Fane had the special token, and a thin thread surrounded Lourain's body. The two of them were sent away, but not separated. After they were sent around for a while, the distorted space slowly stabilized.
