Isolation-Excerpt 33- A Chat
The map Jacob sent me may as well have me wandering around the entire Biosphere Complex. By the time I finally found the new base, it was 4:17 in the afternoon. The corridor where the lounge was located was similar to the one we had left, minus the...
Isolation-Excerpt 27-Jourmungand
When we made it back to the lounge, I couldn't help but notice that the lights in the stairwell and on our level were back in operation and the few security cameras we had were once again online. James, Allen and Tyler were standing outside of the...
Isolation-Excerpt 25-Ghoul
I found myself awake later that night due to thirst. I was laying on my back with the heavy blanket pulled up to my chest, but I was still freezing underneath it. My sight was still a little fuzzy and my head was pounding due to the fact that my...
Isolation-Excerpt 22-Primal
I was taught when I was younger how dangerous and horrible Primal Xenomorphs could be. Due to their hive minds, they had no sense of self, had no free will and would fight to the point of their deaths to ensure that their hive and queen would survive....
Isolation-Excerpt 21-Loss
I woke up in a lump in the corner of a prison cell. My entire body was wracked with a stiff, sharp pain that seemed to reside in every cell in my possession. My vision was blurry and my head was pounding like someone was hitting me with a...
Isolation-Excerpt 17-Asphalt
Even at 100 miles an hour I could feel how much the car was having to fight to pull itself through the heat. The air was so humid that I was leaving a vapor trail and there was steam coming off the black tar of the road. The ride itself was rather...
Isolation-Excerpt 16-Hetawave
When Sarah and I came back to the lounge, she showed Jacob and Tyler the few pages of data that she had printed out. They had similar reactions to it that she did. "Bastard is up to something", Jacob said flipping through the data. "But what?",...
Isolation-Excerpt 9-The Basement
Once I was done eating I grabbed my gear, had Allen put the map to the basement on my PDA and headed out. Since the power was back on, I was able to walk down to the stair well without too much trouble. The stair case went down about 40 feet or so and...
Isolation-Excerpt 8-Vents
Mike laughed at my comment as I helped him up. "That was too close", Allen said, "there were at least four dozen of those things." "Seemed like there were more", Mike said wiping dirty, bloody sweat off his forehead, "is there a working shower...
Isolation-Excerpt 6-Survivors
I didn't get much sleep that night. I had several nightmares that I was back in captivity that almost made it seem like I'd never escaped in the first place. Add that in with the constant low moans and scratching of whatever creature happened to be...
Isolation-Excerpt 5-Outlet
I'd slept on the hunt before, that wasn't new. Sometimes the target would prove too smart to find and kill in the span of one day and when that happened I would retreat to my ship for the night and pick up the trail in the morning. This time was...
Green Fairy Excerpt #1
Sol was only reading a news story about a college student who'd killed himself, but the student had been gay, so when the young wolf's fur prickled with the feeling of someone staring at him, he hid the story behind the picture of a car on a local auto...
