Into the Valley
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. In fact, the Valley hadn’t always been the Valley. It had once been the southern cape of Viol Four, a world overwhelmed with lush, verdant landscapes, snow-capped mesas, and a purple-blue sea that wrapped two-thirds of the planet. Then a colony had found Opalex in the caves off the cape, and Respublica had shown up with their mining fleet, stripping Viol Four of the precious mineral, shredding the tip of the forested cape down fifty miles below the surface, leaving the Valley. Her jagged schorl cliffs ran fifteen miles long, terminating to the north and south in magnificent waterfalls, from which the oceans fell and fell to the sizzling black stones of the planet’s mantle on the Valley floor. At eight miles wide, the Valley was hot, humid, and bleak, inhospitable for all but the hardiest creatures.

the kate project
Sarah hated getting lost in her own damn house. It had only been her house for three days, but she felt the walls moving and the doorways shifting, the contents of rooms rearranging in the dead of night. On day one, she’d stuck her head in the hall closet to put away an armful of hangered coats, only to turn around to find herself in the soon-to-be nursery. A second later, the doorbell had rung, pulling her happily away from her worrying thoughts. On day two, she’d stood up from putting a frozen pizza in the oven and found herself on the front porch, staring at the labyrinthine stained glass in the rose window above the door.
