FATED: Part 3
Councilor Ambross leaned back in his chair and gazed out at the warm, flickering night lights of Haven. Decades ago they had once imposed a mandatory curfew when crime ravaged so severely it felt as if they were in a war-zone. But then order was restored and the curfew was removed. People were free to live their lives in peace and without fear. There were still criminals, he supposed. It was inevitable. No matter how advance the civilization, there would always be those who enjoyed wreaking havoc. But then again, he realized, there would also be those labeled criminals due to circumstances. A knock sounded from the door though he continued to stare out into the City.

Zymbac Saves Christmas. Part Two.
Chapter Five. As the night wore on, the blizzard showed no signs of slowing down. Icy wind howled outside like a pack of hungry wolves, shaking the windows with its fury. Inside, little Timmy watched with growing unease as the snow piled up past the sill, sealing them inside a frozen dome.

FATED: Part 2
We spent the whole day at the bedroom window, just waiting for the sun to set. I think we both knew that it was the last time we would ever see our beloved home. I hate to think what must've been going through Dex's mind: did he truly understand that we were leaving forever? Or did he still hold out some hope that one day we could return? Would he ever see his father again? Was he afraid that he could one day forget his father, or stop loving his him? One day, when he's old enough, I'll be sure to ask him. And to tell him the stories of our home so that he doesn't forget them.

Precipice Chapter II: A Casual Stroll
For chapter one, follow this link. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been Nikolai Garcia’s weekly custom since his new position to take a stroll around the quasi-abandoned harbor district of TRUEcit. Not much came from outside anymore. He remembered in his childhood when junk tankers came in from the badlands to sell metal and plastic scrap and scavenged biomass. Now everything was produced in the city’s recyclers and bio-towers by the corporation, so the harbor district slowly starved and decayed to its present run-down and melancholic state.

Precipice Chapter I: The Fall
The first thing Avery Thompson could recall was her body falling through a violent, stormy sky. Below her was nothing but the roiling waves of a disturbed ocean and the shadows cast by each peak and trough. The air was bitterly frigid - slices of cold lanced her cheeks, chest and arms and tangled into her jacket and hiking pants.

FATED: Part 1
Fun Fact: I first wrote this story waaay back in 2017 after a conversation with a friend of mine: we were playing the old 'ring game' to find out how many kids we were supposed to have... I came out with only one girl, and, for some reason, felt very insulted by it. After I wrote the story, I was so proud of it I included it in a small, personal book of early short stories to keep on my shelf. I still have that book, by the way, and was so proud of this one that I posted it's (very) rough draft to the Fiction Press account I kept years ago. Extra brownie-points if you can find it there, haha!
