The hike to the radio tower was every bit of three hours, an hour longer than John had thought it would be. When we arrived at the summit of the hill, we found what looked to be a vacation resort. There were several, two story, large blue painted...
Isolation-Excerpt 37-Back To Start
I'm not sure how long I spent on that floor, but when I woke up, it was to the sound of gun fire a little ways down the hall. Though my brain felt like it was on fire and moving made me feel like I would throw up, I picked myself up anyway. I had no...
Isolation-Excerpt 36-The Devil's Face
I'm not exactly sure what happened after that as I began to drift into an out of conscious. I could hear the tank crushing rocks above us, though I couldn't hear of the electric motors so I assumed they were still disabled. A few of the rocks were...

A Dragon's Tale: The Star's Journey- Chapter 22- Range Time
Hudson and Kaslur were waiting for us outside. Hudson was still in his leather jacket and blue jeans, but it was thicker looking than it had been, my guess was he had stuff on underneath it. He had a Colt 1911 in a holster on his leg that was hooked to...
Isolation-Excerpt 34-True Intentions
For the next couple of hours, nothing much happened. We had dinner, took showers played a bit on our PDA's and talked about what we needed to do to keep Martin as delayed as possible and keep Sarah in enough resources to find a vaccine for Red star at...
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...
Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 17-Augmentation
I'd been shot, cut, blown up and stabbed before, so I'd sort of been down this road already. I'd grown used to the feeling of bullets ripping through me, however, getting something severed was a completely different ball game. I'm not sure I have words...
