Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 9-Unlikely Ally
We didn't wait to load up and head for the Hotel. There were still more than 18 hours of daylight left and the last thing I wanted after the fiasco yesterday with those mercs was to get caught out in the fucking dark. With mike at the wheel of the...
Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 8-DJ Skyline
Alcatraz and I loaded up with Mike early the next morning to make our way to the radio station. The sky was a dull gray with the sunlight just barely coming through it. Almost everyone inside the tower's fences was still asleep and snoring was clearly...
Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 7-Speculation
When we made it back to the lifeguard tower, we were greeted by Marco and Matt as they opened the gate for us. Chy pulled the Ford into the parking garage and killed the engine as the rest of us stepped out. "Take that stuff into Sarah", I said,...
Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 5-To Kill Time
I could tell by the time we were at the bottom of the staircase that finishing this help sign was going to be a chore. Never mind the fact that it looked like the tide had ruined what had already been done, but the beach head where Chy and Sonya had...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 6
6 "Stop this at once!" someone bellowed so harshly that, for just a second, Ander thought it was the thunder itself speaking to them. A single drop fell on Ander's forehead, deliciously cool, then another and another. He opened his eyes and saw the...
Ander - Part 1: Subchapter 4
4 It would have been difficult for them to make their way through the jostling crowd if they didn't have Banno. Those that noticed his massive form quickly squeezed together to let him and his brothers by, while those that didn't were simply shoved...
Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 4- This Hell Sure Looks Like Paradise
Mike, Jacob, James and Allen were in the back of the truck helping Sonya hand out the food when we came inside. The simple fact that the AC was back on and that there was food, no matter how little, seemed to really be lifting spirits, especially in...
Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 2-Chy
"They.....they shot you!", I said, tears coming to my eyes under my visor, "I watched them put a bullet in your head! I watched you die!?" Chy looked up at me, a smile on her face. She pointed to a huge crack scar in her visor, the exit wound. She...
Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 1- Marooned

Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 15-Progress
The longer I was stuck on the planet, the less I liked it. About half way back to the hotel, a really bad rainstorm came out of...well hell if I know. Once second the sky was blue, then about five minutes later it was like someone in heaven had ripped...
Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 14-Martin's Harvest
About half way back to the hotel, Ryu came over the radio, sounding rather....displeased. "Skyline", he told me, "relay this message to your tank commander, do not come back to the hotel, go straight to the resort maintenance office, your friends...
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...
