Leila Kaur's lungs burned as she darted through the glowing streets of the coastal city. The bioluminescent plants lining her path pulsed urgently, their light brightening and dimming in sync with her rapid heartbeat. The hum of drones grew louder behind her, a reminder of the ever-present threat.
She pressed a hand to her temple, activating the neural interface.
"Samara, I'm near the lab," Leil...
10 days since last contact.
My dad was famous around our base for his weekend high jinx. One time he turned up after a particular exciting outing in Commander Crush’s cargo hold. A peace officer dropped him outside on our doorstep. I still remember the smell when I opened the door cause my dad had shit-stained pants. All in all, he was gone 5 days that time. Never 10.
His watch GPS last pinged ...
TW: mentions suicide (following the prompt. Have a good read!)
Greenery covered the various skyscrapers as it took over the world. Cars were flipping upside down, buildings were abandoned, and I was isolated. 100 years ago everyone over the age of 18 disappeared from the planet without a trace. People died because of them.
It’s all their fault for leaving us like this.
_No it’s not! Don’t talk ...
Honestly my whole life has been a serendipity, I was sold to the Jedi when I was 2. Then I almost got kicked out of the academy several times on the accounts that I was “fucking around and finding out,” then order 66 happened and I lost everyone I loved. Almost, I still had Zeke and Alvera. And clone force 99 to help us out. Then I met Tech, my beloved. Finally after all the adventures we went on ...
“Fire“ shouts the commander. Instantly the spider like creature was lit up by blasts. As the laser met it’s body, it swept its head from left to right and let out an agonizing scream which let a shudder erupt on even the strongest solder. But the pain didn’t seem to weaken the beast, instead, it seemed angered held itself steady.
“It won’t back down“ said soldier 2.1.1....
The loud blasts of these laser guns are disorienting. The president’s soldiers dressed from head to toe in protective, futuristic armor surround the Mothership that arrived on our planet only hours ago. My eyes well with tears. I have to stay alert. I grab Rei by the scruff of her shirt and jerk her closer to me. Emily stays nestled behind me. The mothership’s large legs knock at least two dozen s...
The Operator sat twitching at their post, anxious for the order to come through. They’d been somewhat dreading it for their life, or what they could call life, as technically they had been doing this very job at this very position for as long as they could remember. It was pretty simple, they awoke from the bedchamber, not that sleep was needed but it was considerate of management to provide it as...

Day-71
this is 71st day of this treacherous journey. Mark has been encouraging me to start writing about the days as he has just in case something happens to us out here.
the violent winds and cold weather isn’t helping with the fact that food is scarce. it’s just scaring all of the potential prey away.
today we saw a flock of birds migrating to a warmer place. i wish...
We’ve been here for ages and nothing seems to move. Back and forth we go with no progress. I’ve become beyond exhaustion that I’ve lost track of the days. My duty has been to serve those that have been injured. We do not see death just injury and close to death. Before they arrived we developed armor and healing technologies that prevent death. Our assumption is that they arrived for these...
It was her first time entering the metaverse. It’s something she dreamed of her whole life, but the law didn’t allow anyone under the age of 10 to enter.
As she approached the portal, her excitement switched to fear. She had seen and heard and read about it a million times, but the reality of it was completely different than she expected.
“Will this actually work? Is it safe? How can this be...
