Alone.
I never knew silence could be so frightening. As I sat on the curb on the main street in my small California desert town, my screen crawled with goosebumps at the utter silence surrounding me. I woke up this morning to an empty world. No people, no animals, no insects... nothing but empty buildings, empty streets with empty cars. I was alone ( Read more... ) -
Freeform fic, anyone?
Just 'cause I'm in the mood to write I was wondering if anyone was up to a freeform fiction challenge. Basically, I'll start off a story, give a basis for a world and my character, then the next person picks it, introducing their character. You can expand on the world as you see fit, but each person who follows you must incorporate elements that ( Read more... ) -
Happenstance
There hadn't been time to call in any of my new team, and frankly, at this early stage, I wasn't entirely sure that I could rely on them in a situation that I hadn't planned out and strategised thoroughly.

Away from everyone and everything for a change. Honestly, I don't know how Methos does it. Standing by these people day in and day out, pretending to be "Ben ( Read more... ) -
Cara-cali.
I hate this planet. It assaults my senses and its inhabitants are filthy, violent creatures. Not all of them, but most of them. It is more technologically advanced than I would have thought, given the natives' penchant for self-destruction. I'm amazed they have survived this long ( Read more... ) -
A scene from Nowhereland: Thoughts of home.
I sat and stared up at the stars, pondering a hundred questions. The same hundred questions that had been plaguing my thoughts since we got here. The whys and the hows. But mostly I wondered about what we’d left behind. Then movement behind me broke through my ponderings. The scent carried on the night breeze was Wesley’s ( Read more... )
