Surface: Doomed Planet-Excerpt 8-DJ Skyline

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...

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 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...
