CH4: The Others
The train quietly whirred over the tracks as I pondered over what had happened with the High Table. They were sacrificing us, I’d have to be naïve to set that aside, but it was equally a gamble for them too, and now that could be used to our benefit. Vulcan may be a dangerous man […]
CH3: The High Table
“The High Table? Whatever for? They never deal with the likes of us. What possible reason could be there that they would want to meet you?” Kellan asked, looking dumbfounded as we stood in a near-empty station waiting for our shuttle. But I couldn’t fault him for it, I was equally surprised to hear from […]
CH2: The City
Back when Earth existed there was an abundance of knowledge; books, paper, and records dating to the very beginning of mankind. Of us, our origin, and our home. The collapsing star burnt it all away with its heat. A planet soaked in its rich history gone away in a crumble of rocks without a single […]
CH 1: The D.I.G.G.E.R
“Remember by no means is the D.I.G.G.E.R capable of getting past multiple gas pockets. One or two is alright, it can handle it but anything beyond that is pure madness.” “Miss Tanning?” “Yes?” “What happens though? What happens if we go further than two?” Her face looked grim as she gazed back, “It will explode […]
The Cold: The End
I had no idea what was going on in this place, I must have been walking around in circles for hours and there seemed to be no end in sight. It was brutal weather out here with the cold winds battering away at my face. Surely, I should have reached the main building by now […]
The Cold: The Bunny
I have always enjoyed the scent of fear, the very taste of it. How does fear taste, you ask? It has a metallic tinge to it cut with a sharp, acidic twist of sourness. Must be a mix of blood, sweat, and tears. But it’s what accompanies this taste that amuses me, the begging, pleading, […]
The Cold: The Girl
“Kids! Get out quickly! The fire is spreading!” Mrs. Jane looked scared as she rushed everyone out. But I didn’t want to leave, I couldn’t leave because if I left… then HE will keep following me. I was SO stupid! Mommy always said not to pick up someone else’s things, but I didn’t mean to! […]
The Cold: The Sister
My eyes shot open as soon as I heard the screams. What…? What was going on…? I am still so sleepy. Isn’t it too early to be up? “…Mom? Is that you?” I called out drowsily as I sat up in my bed. The room was still so dark, only my unicorn lamp glowed lightly […]
The Cold: The Mother
Both of us looked at Mr. Bunny at the same time. Its eyes seemed almost menacing now.
The Cold: The Father
It had been ages since I had taken my family on a vacation. There was hardly any time for that, what with work and the kids having tests and club activities but this time my wife had insisted that we go on a trip. “The girls need to spend some time as a family, we hardly […]
