Kyrie sat just outside her tent, enjoying the humid midsummer night. The moon was full and bright, and everything was illuminated silver and white, except the deepest shadows. She had reckoned on it being a hot night, given the heat of the day, but she hadn’t counted much on not being able to sleep because of it. She had stripped […]

In 2048, a new country has declared its independence, calling itself Pacific Aqua Americans. Like any peoples who try to break off from traditional unions of power, causes quite a problem. Three of the leaders of this so-called nation were citizens of the United States, who knew nothing about these people building such an enormous project. Especially without their knowledge […]

I walked down the dingy alleyway, checking all the numbers on the doors. Half of them didn’t have numbers anyway.
