The day the Missles hit changed everything. On the 42nd of Menae, it was a pretty normal day. I was in school when it happened. One minute we were mixing chemstat solutions, and the next we were all watching the feed.

Luckily we were not there, but students and teachers alike stood in shock as massive Cylinders fell from the skies onto the local transit centers. Upon hitting the ground these Meta...

I was going about my life, hefting a large piece of space junk through the grey wasteland. I had to keep situating it between my four arms to keep it from hurting. I had just put it down and turned to get another one when something red darted past me, crating a large cloud of dust. I looked to the source, only to see a large foreign space shuttle lowering to the ground, creating waves of dirt.

I...

The vehicle - it must have been a vehicle, though one without wheels; it was shiny and metal and still rumbled softly with engines even as it smoldered in the crater - the vehicle let out a whine and a piece of it slid aside, revealing a hollow interior. I fluttered backwards, I couldn't help it, but I steeled myself. Someone needed to know what was going on. I dedicated my compound eyes to taking...

Billy peeped out of the window at the armies that were storming their houses. Mum and Dad had left him alone, giving him very specific instructions about what to do while they were gone. While they mostly told him to ‘wait at home and stay out till we come back’, they’d told him that if they weren’t back, he’d have to wait till the next morning and call Gramma.

It had been three hours since then...

I was putting my son, Sarek to bed one night, telling him his favorite story, of how Eldredth the Two Eyed gave peace to our planet when he vanquished the Oola race for good, when all of a sudden, the house shook, and his favorite model space ship fell off his shelf and broke.

He looked up at me, his three eyes wide with fright. I tried calming him down, but another rumble shook all calm out of ...

“We are coming up on the planet of Zartho, General,” stated the Lieutenant standing next to the Captain, who was focused on piloting the ship. The General looked out of the window at the front of ship, seeing the large purple body coming up in front of them.

Then, the General told them, “Just don’t forget Zartho’s moons that go around the planet fast enough to cause serious damage if we collide ...

Galèa rises to her feet from her crouching position, and takes a deep breath in the early evening air. She looks out, admiring the large expanse of land filled with any plant they could need for food, medicine, or any other purpose. This is her happy place: the smell of the dirt and plants, the feel of them between her bare toes and the sun shining down on her skin, warm and comforting. She feels ...

We had always been a welcoming people to any other planetarians, no matter what planet they came from. We allowed a crew of Martians stay for a few weeks when their spaceship broke and they had to repair it before returning to Mars. We nursed Neptunians back to health when they crashed against our mountains and we helped them find their way back. We even gave three ships to Saturnians when we foun...

She’d had this dream, or a variant, many times over the three-and-a-bit decades since leaving her mother’s womb. Like her birth, she was naked, surrounded by a crowd. Unlike her birthday, however, there was more than a little embarrassment. She gazed down at a sagging stomach no amount of sit-ups and jogging would fix. She woke up already flailing at the travel alarm, knocked it onto the stone flo...
