Growl! Antoine stood up, clutching his tummy. If his stomach had woken him up, then this certainly wasn’t craving for comfort food. Antoine took out the mobile from his pocket. It was 2 am. Another 4 hours before the morning shift guy would arrive. Antoine dragged his sleepy ass to the elevator landing. He pressed the Up button and waited. The button wouldn’t light up. Antoine moved to the next elevator. No response. It was then that he noticed the emergency lights were on. He thought of complaining to the systems admin; abandoned the thou...

But something told her that unbridled optimism was not the word she could employ in describing her current family situation. She forced a wry smile and meekly said, “We are trying to make him see reason.” Her sister Stephanie said, “Of course! Of course! Once in a while a fling is fine.

“Why are we at the arms market at Frenoiby?” “Because you have been manipulated, Monsieur Zac Efron.” The sarcastic comment hit Zac like a rude slap. He was calm, collected and rational, virtues prized in the 28th century. His partner Doreen looked apparently the same to untrained eyes. Centuries of selective genetics have tempered the emotional traits, but Doreen’s ardent temperament bubbled dangerously close to the surface. Anyone spending a reasonable amount of time with her would certainly get a whiff of it, and Zac wasn’t the one to mis...
