Robert had never been more proud of his son. From early age through early adulthood, his son Luke had always been a recluse and never one to socialize or make friends. So Robert was ecstatic when Luke came to tell him that he was planning to get married and was so excited to introduce his father to the love of his life.

Say, how are you?

How are you I say?

Have you heard of the town named Tooberaday?

It’s a place not too far

You can get there real quick

My housekeeper gave me a confused shrug but left it on my countertop all the same and returned to her cleaning. I sipped my morning coffee and eyed the brown package suspiciously. Not many people knew what my address was. Hell, even what state I lived in. Something felt off.

I have stopped fentanyl from crossing our borders. I have taken down everything from local dealers to drug kingpins. I’ve st...

The town of Chester was a quiet New England town that had the reputation for being cursed. This rumor had been in existence since the town’s first settlers had burned a witch at the stake and the stories piled on from there. Murders, disappearances, they seemed to happen frequently in Chester. Maybe every town was like this and the stories were blown out of proportion. But then the Vanishing Week ...

Sgt. Ben Markin wiped the sweat and dirt from his face and surveyed the barren wastes around him. After days of warfare against the Zi Clusters, the wretched bugs were finally retreating back into their holes. The ground was littered with miles of carcasses, mostly Zi claws and abdomens but plenty of Markin’s comrades as well.

Let the Zi have this shithole excuse for a planet, Markin thought. Aft...
