Just Let Me Die Here (A Serialized Novel) 25
At some point, I do fall asleep, because when I wake suddenly, from a nightmare that I find myself instantly forgetting, left only with a lingering uneasy feeling, it is getting dark outside. I get out of bed and walk to the window. Snow. It’s falling fast. Large flakes blowing at a sharp angle through the sky, covering everything thickly and quickly. Each one that hits the window feels like a crash, a large explosion that rings in my ears.

I lean against the wall, staring thoughtfully at the door across the way. She hadn't come out of her room yet. According to the guard I had posted there last night, she hasn't so much as peaked out of her room.

I opened the bay door of the ship slightly and peeked out. No one in sight. I slipped out quickly and closed the door behind me. I looked around again, but still no one around.

Dead Ringers; Chapter 7
Light tined the inside of my eyelids red, the scent of herbs filled my nose, and there was something cold and wet on my forehead. Slowly, I opened my eyes. I was in a room, well, more of an office.

Mysterious Tidings
Part 1 of the Theia, the Lost Star series Quinn Kahlberg sat in his stateroom, reviewing the contract options for his crew. He was only thirty-six years old, but constant worry had drawn early lines in his forehead and around his eyes. His black hair showed signs of graying. He cycled through the meagre choice of job offers for a third time and wondered how much longer he could make this arrangement work. The contracts were supposedly the best of the job offers available for the Stardiver and her crew; escort some sleazy politician through the shady districts of Capitol Center, secure safe transport for a supply convoy bound for 10 Hygiea in the asteroid belt, or use an ESPer to influence a rival trade fleet to lower their prices. Kahlberg frowned and closed the display on the trade-ESPer contract.
