Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Arkay “Sorry I’m so late!” Kayel gasped as he overshot the door and skidded past the entrance to Ksiel’s room. “Traffic was terrible!” Ksiel tutted, not bothering to look up from his newspaper. “Always some sort of excuse with you.” “It was though!” Kayel protested. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Ayel … Read more
“You awake?” Ksiel grunted. He had a tube in his mouth, going down his throat, sucking out the contents of his stomach. Maybe it was a bad idea to try and kill himself with a bottle of pain killers. Not only had he thrown up, but the dose he’d taken wasn’t enough to put him … Read more
KL0135L is now online. DL0139L is no longer away. DL0139L: You’re finally online. We need to talk. KL0135L: What’s wrong? DL0139L: Ksiel’s in hospital. DL0139L: Attempted suicide. KL0135L: WHAT DL0139L: Said he was going to visit Veeyel. Got a call from Zitel about an hour ago. I didn’t know any other way of getting in … Read more
You’d think, being a race of beings that can travel to other worlds in our solar system (and nearby solar systems), we’d know a bit more about the local fauna and flora on these plants. Well, we don’t. We’re the sort of species that packs its own lunches and does its best to keep itself … Read more
“Fuck me, it is so hot…” Retvik moaned as he leaned back in his chair, flapping a piece of paper in his face in an attempt to fan himself. “Is it always this hot or am I just delirious?” “This is like the seventh time you’ve asked, dear,” Gath grunted. He was busy filling in … Read more
KL0135L is now online 3L0138L: What are you doing online? KL0135L: I have a favour to ask. 3L0138L: You’re dead and not supposed to be in this text channel. KL0135L: Then why didn’t you take away my channel privileges after I died? You’re the channel mod, you could have taken them away. 3L0138L: I assumed … Read more
“Hang on! Hang on!” the grumpy voice shouted from behind the door. “I can’t use my fucking legs, medic! Give me a moment!” Rummaging around could be heard as the being on the other side desperately tried to reach the door. After about thirty seconds, the medic pulled out a key card and opened the … Read more
Arkay stood on the shores of Kinigi, a vast, glistening ocean lapping at his clawed feet. In the distance, there was nothing. A darkness, a one-way path directing the souls of the universe to the Kinigian beaches and the eternal River. Each time he blinked, millions would die. Their souls would wash upon the shores … Read more
“Well, at least we came to a peaceful resolution…” the Veth Prime sighed as Syklos and Continuity helped him put on a familiar set of straps. “How long am I going to be subconsciously running the universe for this time?” Continuity looked up and shrugged. “I do not know, Arkay. But it should only be … Read more
Everything in Kinigi was swirling around, as if a gigantic tornado was blowing through. The eye of the storm was above Death’s home, and that was where Continuity and Syklos had teleported themselves to. There was no way they could walk through the thick, forceful winds that were tearing everything apart. Syklos kicked the front … Read more
“Is it just me, or does this place make no sense?” Iatre asked as the four Veth wearily walked through a valley. Its walls were the same squidgy pink material that coated everything else. The only difference was that this was a valley and not a hill or an open field or something like that. … Read more
Istoria had been watching Death move stuff around for several hours. She didn’t want to be sitting in that awkward, slightly painful chair, but she didn’t want to anger Death either. The last time she had asked if she could move, Death ‘accidentally’ dropped the heaviest thing she could find on Istoria’s feet. But slowly, … Read more
“You horny?” This was the second time Arkay had woken Iatre up. Last time he had a bit of an existential crisis. This time, he seemed to want sex. Which wasn’t too weird, after all, the last time they screwed, Iatre had enjoyed it, even if it had all been a setup so Death could … Read more
Iatre stretched only to find that something was next to and on top of him. He panicked only for a moment, but luckily it was just Arkay, who had clearly fallen asleep and fallen off his little hammock. A hammock made out of the skin of some unlucky creature they’d found. Really, it was Iatre’s … Read more
Iatre had been full of questions, asking everything from “how big is Kinigi?” to “what’s the average girth of a Veth?” As they walked, Continuity had politely answered as many questions as he could, although there were a lot of things he couldn’t answer. Syklos had simply lead the way, remaining silent and just walking … Read more
