“We’re going home, Jack!” Rachel yelled over to Jack as he stared at the lines of code on his computer screen. “Sure, see you guys.” He responded without looking over. “You should really get some rest, come back at it in the morning,” Tom said swiping his keycard to open the door out of the… Continue reading The Problem
Sarah sat there staring at the page. The rest of the band had been telling her they’ve been waiting to see her new song for a month now… They had been excited for the new single she had told them she’d been working on and was almost finished… There was no new song. She put… Continue reading The Lie
He couldn’t look down… He was already too high up on the cliff. He knew if he did he’d fall for sure. Normally Fred would have looked up to chart his path, but a thick fog was preventing him from seeing more than the handholds in front of him. This has to be the worst… Continue reading The Climb
Jack woke up from yet another nap. He thought he should probably stop sleeping every day, but he was just so tired all the time. The clock said 3:47PM, and he sighed. Another day wasted. Since he lost his job and girlfriend and moved back home, he felt like everything in his life he had… Continue reading Depression
Richard knew he had said the wrong thing, but too much time had passed. He drank another swig of his black coffee. There had just been so much work and other things to take his attention away, apologizing had been the farthest thing from his mind.

There was a certain normality to eating, he wasn’t sure what he was eating, not to mention most of the people around him were entirely alien, but Arthur enjoyed merely sitting there and talking with the other recruits.

Arthur was still in a relative state of shock by the time that they made their way into the mess hall. The gray alien or rather Admiral Kle, stopped and turned towards Arthur. “I guess this is the second time in a long list of me showing you to places. I hope you can use… Continue reading Defenders (Part 36)
It felt like ages before someone returned. The gray alien along with a tenticale alien that looked like the one who instructed their data-pads to be handed out… maybe it was the same one, how would he know? Arthur stood up. “Please, sit.” The alien said. “A Mr. Pendrew is it?” “Yes.” Arthur answered. “It… Continue reading Defenders (Part 35)
He couldn’t breathe. Arthur felt his lungs empty, and there was nothing but the darkness, and it crushed him down both inside and without until a bright light nearly blinded him. He gasped for air and found he was looking back up into the small gray alien’s face. “Hmmm.” It said looking down at him… Continue reading Defenders (Part 34)
