Lake New
The lake hadn’t been there when Paul’s grandfather was a child. This wasn’t saying much, though – changing waterlines had been a fact of life for years when he was born. Despite constant raise, mangrove trees grew aplenty. Newer trees by the swampy edges held up their lush canopies on labyrinths of stilts; unfortunate older trees had drowned, leaving behind tangles of dead wood. But even those played host to life, and Paul counted dozens of ibises and mud-coloured crabs among their wrecks.

My First Day of School
I was one of the fortunate ones. I still had my mother, or at least a version of her. She wasn’t the warm, fuzzy funny person I remembered from my Kindergarten days; however, she still looked the same…except the eyes. Her eyes scared me now. They were glassy, vacant, and totally black. But she was still with me at least. Most of the children stood alone, or in small, huddled groups being herded towards the big glass door by their robotic minders.

How I became a super villain part 1
I didn't set out to be a super villain. As far as I know, no one sets out to be a super villain. I wanted to be a hero, come in and save the day from the bank robbers or the super villain or the aliens that were invading the planet, you know the stuff super heroes usually do.

Touched
“Stop him!” As the smoke cleared, they saw me. I turned and ran as far and as fast as my legs would take me. Round corners, past shops, between mothers clinging to their baskets, stepping away from me as I ran through the crowded market. My worn-out shoes caused my heel to make contact with the hot earth, my breath stinging my lungs, gripping the small token in my hand I ran towards home. I could see it just ahead as I came around the old factory wall, our three room cracker-box house with the sunbaked walls, pockmarked by the frequent dust storms. It was the largest in our row. Suddenly I’m whipped around, stopped in my tracks by the tight grip on my right arm. I fight to break loose, the token goes flying from my hand and buries itself into the dust. In a heartbeat I’m surrounded by Enforcers, glaring at me from behind their shielded helmets, pointing at me with gloved fingers.

Falling Aeon
Jav’iin ran through the floating city of Aeon, avoiding the battles that ran hot all around. The angels had saved them from a complete route but they were still going to get destroyed if something didn’t change. Even with their timely arrival they were still outnumbered twenty to one. Unless he could access the Godcore, something the Angels themselves couldn’t do in thousands of years they were toast. A scythe from a Cyberdark Reaper interrupted his thoughts and tried to remove his head, but he slid under it, avoiding the strike and continuing on his way. Unfortunately persistence was in their programming and the monstrosity gave chase. Jav’iin hissed. There was no time for this.
