Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Arkay “Xentress! Xentress! Wake up!” Lenik rushed over to the small, cushion-filled chamber, narrowly avoiding a low-hanging pip he could have easily smashed his head on. He slammed his fist on the door a few times, rudely awakening the sleeping beauty inside. “XENTRESS!” The door unlocked slowly. There must have been four or five locks on … Read more
“So he’s not coming back?” “As far as I am aware, no.” Kass was struggling to explain the situation to his team mates around their team’s kitchen area. Vel sat curled up in his chair, Kohgrah was angry and Abius was naked as usual. “Gath has left us to deal with everything ourselves?” Kohgrah snapped. … Read more
“Ah, what a beautiful day!” Death exclaimed loudly, both pondering to herself and trying to catch Tenuk’s attention. “The rivers are flowing, the skies are clear, the silver grass is gently wafting in the breeze… Perfect…” She took a long sip from her cup of tea, then put it down on a table made from … Read more
Hai! I should probably start this with Dear Diary, like the writing before this. But that was the old me. I found this by accident and started reading through it, and decided to add my own entry, you know, for old time’s sake? Really, the guy who wrote this is really different from me. We’re … Read more
Dearest Brother, I am glad that you made it home alive. I had many a restless night worrying that you would never come home at all. But of course, I am very, very sorry for the loss of both your friend and of your unborn child. I cannot understand why you did not speak up … Read more
Arkai twiddled her thumbs as she sat in the dark room, the only light being a rather pathetic light bulb hanging a great height above her. Between her and the lone door into the room was a basic table and a seat for someone else. The chairs were basic plastic stools, as unloved as everything … Read more
It has taken me too long to arrive here. I have been sidetracked by other events going on elsewhere. It seems as though my attempts to protect both myself, Psivee-En and my own kids has been for nothing. Arkay is gone. Where he has gone, no one knows. Of course I had to take a … Read more
“You said you’d be home today!” “I’m sorry, Elksia. Something came up.” “What thing?” “Family stuff. I’ll call you when I can.” Tenuk closed the call on his communicator and turned to face the ten beings who had just teleported him from the space port to where he was now. A large, echoing room, with … Read more
“Thank you, kid…” “No worries, Retvik. Least I can do considering…” “Don’t.” “Sorry.” Retvik waved as Kass dropped him off on the little path to his partner’s home. Kass revved the engine of his little hovercraft, wished Retvik well then sped off into the distance, probably back to his own little house on the other … Read more
Dear Diary, This is my final entry here for now. I’ve been sitting here in my room for about an hour trying to work out what the fuck to write. Still struggling. The special someone I met was Elisia Redspine. She is the current empress of the Temthans and rules over a good twenty billion … Read more
Dear Diary, I feel much better now. The Temthans have accepted me into their ranks. Now that I am no longer fighting them, my body is taking to the various medications I have been given. One of the… tests I faced was unusual. It hurt quite a lot, but it completely healed my body of … Read more
Dear Diary, Today has been horrible. The Raptesses locked me in a room with two of their members, their leader Neraida and a younger one called Troma. They administered some kind of drug that let them look into parts of my mind. I don’t know what they saw, or even if they saw anything, but … Read more
Prime Minister Aesop Korinna was having a very bad day. Glaucia was ranting again. “… And now we are expected to cover the costs of the other races for their stupid illnesses! When will it end?” There was an uneasy cheer among the many ministers and members of parliament. This was a weekly joint session … Read more
Dear Diary, I never used to write in my old diaries every day, but I kinda have to. There’s so much… going on? Not that I truly know of. Secret things. Lurking in the background. Schemes and plots. Never been a fan of schemes and plots. The Temthans are not fans of them either. The … Read more
I sigh as the ship sails away into the unknown. On it are the bodies of four Raptai, a plant-based race of beings that were killed by Stasis. They suffocated, starved to death from the carbon dioxide they so desperately needed to live. We intended to bury them at the Hall of Heroes, like any … Read more
