The Stranger The stranger emerged from the cool cavern, hair slicked to his head with two days desert grime. For the briefest of moments he thought he felt a cool breeze on face, just a mirage like the water he saw. Hopefully the town up ahead was more substantial, grimacing against the heat he strode into the sun. “You there, woman.

They had left him long ago. He looked out of place, out...

Butterfly “Dam he is messed up” “I know. Think he will make it?” “Too soon, bus was it?” “No a truck, driver fell asleep.” “That’s rough” Ever had those moments in life when things feel disconnected? Almost like you are not in your body-no more not even connected to your life. Its the classic “How did my life get here?” moment. You know the one. Well this was like that b...

The following is the transcript from the audio log discovered about ‘Planet B’ left for us by the great explored Robert Miller. Bobs log number 1. I have crash landed on Planet B, on landing my ship was damaged but repairable unfortunately on my first expedition into the wilderness of this lush green world I was attacked. The creature was hideous with two long hairy tails dangled from its deranged face and what a horror the face was, yeesh. There was a large red eruption coming from the lump in the middle of the face, clearly the atmos...
