Larry The Talking Wall
If walls could talk conversation would be eternal. New stories are generated at approximately ten times the rate any yarn could be spun from our closest and most unavoidable friends. And if anyone is a talker, it would be Larry The Talking Wall. His life started simply enough. He was cast out of concrete, timber, aluminum and pure sweat. A foundation that was sure to last two hundred years. It was somewhere around 1910, when he was erected in a span of a couple hours, at perpendicular angles to his closest friends.

The Dragon's Acquisition
Syanvatharhna was known for being exceptionally intelligent; even among the Greater Elsiem Dragons. The Greater Elsiem Dragons had long been revered as the smartest dragons to spring from the ever creating womb at the center of planet Elsiem, when they emerged some one thousand years ago. Syanvatharhna (or Syan) was also known for being as cold as she was brilliant.

Journey to the Center of the Galaxy
"Dude WOAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kevin said. Kevin was clutching his leather jacket to himself so tightly it might as well have been his own skin. The last effects of worm-hole space played out. The tunnel of space-time shifted to a red color, before finally disappearing completely and spitting them out directly into physical space. New constellations, never before seen by eyes from Earth, could be seen plain as day.

Comfort
In an attempt to get a wonderful cross-breeze going I request to keep a second window open in the summer Two measly feet are all that can be yielded

Journey to the Center of the Galaxy
Kevin inspected the right arm of his favorite leather jacket. The tear by the cuff had gotten worse during the maelstrom at McGuiles. It was now the only memento of planet Earth he had. The man in the trench coat had blasted them through the solar system, and they were now floating pleasantly past the heliosphere, on the beginnings of interstellar space. The Oort Cloud (that surrounded the solar system Earth was in) was beginning to come into view.

Journey to the Center of the Galaxy
Kevin woke up in his room, starring up at ceiling, and the harsh sunlight of 4 PM. He was still wearing his clothes from the night before, and was laying on top of his unmade bed.

Sound Waves
John Lennon said "Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans." He died a long time ago. Sound Waves don't last very long

Journey to the Center of the Galaxy
Sillan Octavion switched on the video screen of his newly improved Alentian space ship. He turned on the display, but kept his end unconnected. He let it ring twenty seven times before answering it. He already knew who was calling him.

Aaron and the Void
This story is a continuation of "Driving For Mr. Chen," which was a finalist in the Vocal+ Fiction Awards. Aaron, Mystic Dan (returned to human form) and Janis took the "SpaZZ" using sublingual ingestion; which meant they put it under their tongues and then spent the next twenty minutes trying to deduce what they were supposed to feel. That anxiety was quickly put to rest when they began to engage in a spontaneous, euphoric and engaging game of free word association. Mystic Dan had the clear advantage. The whole thing ended with them spilling out of "Limited Acres" and onto the nighttime streets. The rain had stopped and the sidewalks smelled like fresh laundry. Aaron eventually put his concerns to rest and let the spirit of the night take hold; as Janis had suggested.

The Last and the First
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. What was there before was a mystery even beyond the power of myth. Lennel was the three hundred and fifty second heir to the Dragon Valley Blade lineage. She followed her mother, grandmother and great grandfather. Before that, all of the tales of the Dragon Valley Blades were shrouded in mist; further back from that were the great myths and legends. Stretching back to the days of old battles; when the sky was filled with dragons, massive magic flying ships and battles of such grandeur that one was left with a haunting sense of what the universe could be.

Aaron and the Void
This story is a continuation of "Driving For Mr. Chen," which was a finalist in the Vocal+ Fiction Awards. It was after the breakup of his 19th band when Aaron Villenivue moved to the "Limited Acres Apartment Neighborhood." One of the first questions he asked the building supervisor who gave his rental interview (besides how much a month and is there a laundry machine) was "why is it called that?" He had asked around to some newer friends (before the interview) who lived in the area; to which they replied, "they had no idea."

They're Taking The Hobbits to Alderaan
Back at the Wall: "So we are still in the Andromeda Galaxy," Dr. Who (David Tennant version) explained. "But as to what star system, I have no idea."
