Sci Fi

The Last House.
A man stands on the doorstep of the last house, at the end of the road. Absolutely, completely unmoving he stares into the space where once terraces stood in uniformed rows all the way across town, now obliterated into dust. Strong winds whip through the cracks of the building, threatening to raze it to the ground but the man stands motionless. Eventually he turns his gaze to a small craft, moving soundlessly towards him, it comes to an abrupt stop outside the house and a droid, about 5 feet tall rolls out.

Exoplanet 1
Alarms sounded all around Private Chester Montgomery. The bright red flashes from the alarms burned his eyes as he fought to open them for the first time in nearly a thousand years. His body tingled from having been in a medically induced coma that had preserved his body and mind all this time. Fresh air rushed into the glass tube that had kept him safe, the hiss of the air bringing some strength back to his body.

Kraya 1
“I’m afraid I have rather grave news,” Captain Fenn said as the crew filtered onto the command deck. Fists clenched by her sides, her blue-grey skin paler than normal. Twenty-three officers filed in and she had to find some way to tell them they were all going to die. Them, as well as the 300 civilians in her charge. Adrian, the only human on her crew, entered last, wearing his oxygen mask.

As he hid in the dark, in an old, abandoned building, he wondered if life would ever get back to normal again.

the Dark Zone

The Strongest Force on Earth
I look over at Jaxson as he sleeps, sprawled out on a blanket in the sand. The sun shining down on his face gives it a radiance that seems to belong there. How lucky am I that the last man on earth is so delightfully handsome? I let my eyes wander over his thin, muscular body, bronzed from the sun. In the year since we found each other, I've explored every inch of that body. My gaze slowly travels all the way up to his sandy, blonde hair. I sigh happily.

The Water's Rising
The fist careens past my head as I dodge in the last second. I’ve lost my practiced boxer’s stance over the course of the bout. Now I’m just bouncing side to side, waiting for the next punch. It’s not a bad stance by any means, but it’s a different kind of fighting. A focus on mobility steals your ability to strike any time. You become defensive. Any mistake can kill you if your opponent plays their cards right. But it also means you get a better view of the whole picture, and that’s good enough for me.

There's No Sundown Here
No one remembered the light, nor could recall the warmth of the Sun, or the fire, its offspring. This world, nor its remaining inhabitants, was no longer built for such necessities. There was no government, no currency, and no technology. Physical beauty, material possessions, and power struggles were rendered futile. All that tied humanity to "civilization" was now extinct. Everything was frozen, and everywhere was darkness.
