Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“A long time ago, the universe was created. The universe was fine until intelligent life began to bloom. Life soon began to realise that maybe the universe wasn’t as good as it seemed. Of course, blame was sought. “The Serpent of Space wanted nothing to do with blame. She after all only created things. So … Read more
They’d walked for a long time through the wilderness, being led by a convoy of powerful, muscular Banikans, each one of them probably powerful enough to take on a tank, let alone the Temthan, Ksithan, Kronospast and Skyavok they’d captured. The Banikans were of a multitude of colours, mostly warm hues of yellow, red and … Read more
“What do we know so far?” Kohra shrugged as he watched Timik pace up and down. “Not much. Atmosphere is mostly oxygen and argon, with high amounts of carbon dioxide and oddly low levels of nitrogen. Weather seems to always be clear, with clouds not really forming. I don’t recognise any of the stars in … Read more
Arkadin smiled as the facility swiftly began to burn and collapse. Normally he didn’t enjoy this sort of thing, but this horrible place was one of Yisini’s little ‘secret bases’ where she gathered up huge amounts of genetic material to use in her experiments, so Arkadin was quite happy that he got to destroy everything. … Read more
“I’m getting worried…” Phovos muttered as the three beings hid inside an air duct. “Worried about what?” Kayen whispered. His eyes were closed, they had been for a while. Between the lack of food, the running around in the dark and the things that seemed to be following them, Kayen was exhausted and quickly reaching … Read more
“That looks bad…” “Trust me, he got the best deal out of the four of us…” Kayen and Phovos glanced up at the fleshy machinery above them, Phovos signing in disbelief and Kayen feeling too embarrassed to ask what the machines were actually doing. Tubes and pipes fed in and out of rose-tinted cells, each … Read more
In the hours (or was it days?) that Kayen had spent wandering around this facility, he had seen some awful things. Freshly cut up corpses. Live births of monsters and beasts. The farming of organs and tissues. The testing of horrible substances, from powerful sedatives to seizure-inducing poisons. The creation and destruction of new forms … Read more
Everything was sticky and horrible, but at least Kayen could move. The little Skyavok had no idea how long he’d been lying there on the ground. He remembered passing out, but that was about it. He’d had some sort of dream about some sort of organic machine trying to suck things out of him. Or … Read more
“This is fucked up.” Everything in the house was coated in a horrible, sticky substance that trapped and entangled anything it touched. Particularly sentient lifeforms, gluing them to the ground and stopping them from moving. More sticky substances blocked out the windows and locked up the doors, preventing any sort of escape from ever taking … Read more
“Are you alright, Kohra?” Kohra looked up, then further up. He’d forgotten how tall Kayen was. Kayen wasn’t tall, but he was now taller than Kohra. “No.” “Do you need, like, some water or something?” “No, no thank you.” Kayen shrugged as he sat down next to Kohra. “I’ve not seen you like this before. … Read more
“Why is there a motherfucking queue in this fucking piece of shit building to undergo this retarded procedure?” Out of the four of them, Kayen didn’t expect Phovos, the Raptor of Palaestra, to be the neurotic, overly swearing being when it came to telepathic mind links. Although to be fair, the little Skyavok was sitting … Read more
Phovos looked down at her own chest, then compared it to the busty look Kohra had pulled out of goodness knows where. He certainly looked like a female Temthan. Probably too much like a female Temthan. After a long, awkward sigh, Phovos glanced at Timik, who was sitting on the sofa staring at the floor. … Read more
“Hey, I need your help.” Timik had a rather horrified look on his face as he slammed a pile of leaflets on Phovos’s coffee table. He, Kohra and Kayen had all been staying at her place for the last few weeks, simply because it was the most secure place around. True, it wasn’t safe and … Read more
“I didn’t think I’d be seeing you all again so soon…” Timik stared at the little Skyavok in front of him. The Skyavok stared at a plate of toast and slices of smoked ham in front of Timik. He didn’t reply to Timik’s words though. The two of them were sitting on a sofa in … Read more
Timik was having a bad day. He was supposed to have gone home, put on his nice armour and then gone out for a morning piss-up at his favourite bar, score some chicks, get laid and then spend the afternoon in the back garden, lying in his inflatable jacuzzi with whoever had decided to stick … Read more
