“Stop!” Aryton shot out of bed, falling roughly to the floor. He grasped desperately to rip something off his head which he had felt there moments before. His breathing slowed, and he felt nothing out of place as he traced the stubbled curves of his aging face. His eyes slowly scanned his surroundings, struggling to see objects clearly as though he was learning to see for the first time. His nerves settled, the blood rushing through him slowed, and all at once the world snapped into place around him. He took a deep breath to calm himself and...

I.Enclosed in a remote valley of a barren world was a small lake brimmed by an ever-luscious forest of beautiful trees. Tucked sporadically between pines were quaint buildings decorated with flowers and connected by perfectly maintained paths. The buildings stood innocently one-story above ground which masked the depths of floors that stretched down deeper than their surrounding mountains were high.The complex was one of a few such structures in the Outer Arm that intended to position themselves outside of Kentrolian jurisdiction, O.A.C. jur...

As Jaims watched the flaming carcass of a ship plunge into the depths of the forest behind his house, he was reminded that the mundane routine of life could be interrupted at any moment. Sometimes people do it to themselves, other times it is done to them. Jaims kicked his feet against the wall above his bed and dangled his head over the side of it. He held his gaze out the window for only a few moments and decided the latter had just occurred. His mind went back to being absent until a small hum of a song he had never heard began...

I“Are you there God? It’s me… you might not remember, it’s been a while, but I’m still here. And…and…and I… Damn it!” He yelled. “I don’t know how to do this.”The moon shone too bright for the tormented fog that encircled Ari’s mind. He stood on the edge of his balcony overlooking the finance district of Chespi and felt nothing but shame. It was his district, it was his actions that moved mountains in the market, it was his glory that made him feel so validated through years of managing the highest returning portfolios in the galaxy. His car...

I woke up with a violent gasp of breath and a sense of urgency to discover my surroundings. I looked around in a panic that blinded my vision as I was engulfed in a darkness that felt unfit for my haste. My memory was absent of where I was or how I got there, but my mind was certain about one thing: I could not stay put. I got onto my knees and scrambled across the rocky, dust covered ground, feeling for anything that I could protect myself with. Despite being within the damp grasp of an enclosed cavern, I felt endlessly exposed. The thought...
