Looking over the railing, Marco could feel the wind on his face. Funny, looking down at everything from up there. Those little square patches where people lived and died, fucked and cried, it all seemed silly. Feeling a soft warmth squeezing his arm, he looked over at his companion and decided he liked that view… Continue reading XVI Alex

Gram XV
Gram walked speedily through the streets, weaving through the after work rush fluidly as he overtook them. Normally he felt exhausted after he finished his shift, but today was different. He could hear the distant chirping of birds. There was a certain beauty in the way the haze refracted dusk’s light giving the air a… Continue reading Gram XV
XI Eli & XII Lioncourt
The carriage looked opulent, but Eli would have appreciated if more work had been put into the heating system as he rubbed his hands together. It had been the most expensive looking carriage he was able to book. Always lead with a good foot forward. The meeting had to go well. If he could get… Continue reading XI Eli & XII Lioncourt
X Gram
“Alright, buddy, listen to me.” Gram was almost finished with his second bottle of wine (still couldn’t taste the leather) and yet managed to speak as clearly as with the first glass. His speech, if nothing else, merely accelerated. He went over details and contingencies and counter-contingencies and counter-counter-counter-contingencies. Every time he came up with… Continue reading X Gram

Planet Graggazzit, as previously stated, is a terrarium world, its native intelligent race, the Glorbs not well suited for the types of control the Malflorians implement on their development worlds (pet worlds). As one side is bathed in constant light of its star and the other constant darkness, it is a planet much less averaged… Continue reading The Last Wilderness III: Planet Graggazzit and its “People”
The Last Wilderness II: A Brief Adventure
I have now spent my first day and have much already to tell. The day, of course, being of earth duration as told by my trusty Swiss mechanical watch stolen off the wrist at a cocktail party and replaced with one of superior alien make. Due to the orbit and rotation speed of the planet… Continue reading The Last Wilderness II: A Brief Adventure
The Last Wilderness I: Hello and Goodbye
And so it was the illustrious race of man found themselves as pets. I was in college at the time. Really you would be amazed at how little of a drama it was. They arrived in advance of their light stream hitting earth. World Governments were caught with their pants down, not that it mattered… Continue reading The Last Wilderness I: Hello and Goodbye
