Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Phovos “So, before we go off gallivanting across the universe in my ship, we need a plan.” Phovos was clearly a little excited. She’d invited everyone round to her newly rebuilt home, ordered in some sort of takeaway meal for everyone and bought plenty of drinks. “Kayen, what’s the mission?” Kayen looked around the room nervously. … Read more
Teekay expected to come back and find the mysterious yellow Skyavok gone, but as he opened the front door, he realised that Arkay was still there. He had changed his position in the corner and was desperately clinging to a stuffed animal like his life depended on it, but nonetheless he was still there, sleeping … Read more
“… And how long do you want your items to be kept in storage, ser?” “Um… indefinitely.” “So you are aware, there is a one week time fee when it comes to removing storage if you do not set a time.” “That’s fine.” “What about your current housing unit, ser?” “I won’t be needing it.” … Read more
There was a Skyavok-shaped patch in Teekay’s garden that hadn’t been there when he’d left that morning. The Skyavok-shaped patch had left drag marks across Teekay’s otherwise immaculate lawn, then left muddy skids across his immaculate marble patio, before somehow managing to open the back door, lock the back door behind it then collapsed in … Read more
“So you’re… breaking up with me?” Kairos rubbed his eyes, his massive wings aching from a hard day’s work. Phovos sat opposite him looking all confused. Between them was half a rack of ribs, part of an “all you can eat” buffet that Phovos had invited Kairos to. “No… That’s not what…” Kairos continued rubbing … Read more
Kayen spluttered as he woke up, his mouth feeling dry, his throat feeling worse. He was thankfully lying in his own bed, with a glass of water nearby. Also nearby was a familiar face. “It happened again, didn’t it?” Kayen asked. “Everyone else is safe, right, Phovos?” Phovos didn’t answer. It took Kayen a moment … Read more
No one liked Kenon’s home. It was dark and gloomy yet somehow overly shiny and ostentatious at the same time. Golden statues and chandeliers failed to light up otherwise pitch black rooms, while evil shadows loomed around every corner. Even the more public areas that Kenon would allow others to visit fell into this same … Read more
Timik sat under the glass and plastic roof, his ears deafened by the thrashing rain and booms of thunder. He’d spent most of his afternoon there, watching the storms roll in and out. It wasn’t like Timik had any work to do. In fact, he could probably do this any day he wanted, but only … Read more
“Kayen, you in?” Kayen’s eyes snapped open, the knocking on the door giving him quite a fright. “Kayen?” The voice belonged to Phovos, one of Kayen’s few friends. After pausing to wipe the drool off his face, Kayen glanced around the room looking for a clock. The one on the television screen flashed “9:15am” and… … Read more
Arkadin sat at the small table by the kitchen, wondering about the series of events that had led him there. He watched as Kayen hurried around the kitchen chopping vegetables and stirring pots of things, but didn’t say anything. Suddenly Kayen rushed over and stood by his side. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t offer you … Read more
“I believe your brother is dating the Panelix…” Tenuk glanced up from his work. Retvik was standing over him, holding a large file which he was desperate to slam on top of Tenuk’s own paperwork. “So?” “That is dangerous.” Tenuk sighed, then moved his stuff out of the way so that Retvik could put down … Read more
“This isn’t a date.” Arkadin stared off, his eyes drawn to the flashes of lightning. Kayen wasn’t sure whether the Thantophor had heard his statement. “This isn’t a date. Not planned. This is just you and I meeting to discuss when we plan to have our date. Dates.” The Thantophor was still staring at the … Read more
Timik growled as he dumped the huge pile of chocolates, flowers, exotic furs and sex toys on the table. “What the fuck is going on!” “I don’t know…” Kohra tutted. “But did you really have to drop all that on our game of Ones?” “Well where else was I gonna put all this shit?” Timik … Read more
Kohra had been sitting on the beach for a while now. The tide had gone out and the water of the lake suddenly seemed like it was miles away. The sun hadn’t set quite yet, but the light of several closer stars and planets could be seen. A cool winter breeze swirled dirt and sand … Read more
Arkadin breathed a sigh of relief as both life and consciousness returned to Kayen. A few seconds later and he might not have made it. “W-where am I? W-what h-happened?” Kayen shivered. The Thantophor wrapped his arms around Kayen, trying to warm him up. All around them, everything was dark, except for six glass tubes. … Read more
