Playlist for this Post Sweat rolled down Andres back but it wasn’t just the heat. To say he was nervous would be understating the situation. He was terrified. It wasn’t everyday he was called to speak before a closed meeting of The Order. The reactors that supplied the artificial luminary had been shut down… Continue reading Pure – Part 6

Pure – Part 5
Adela could feel herself re-materialising, each DNA strand being restrung and wrapped around the next until she became solid again. It wasn’t exactly painful. It was just odd. When she opened her eyes the first thing she noticed was that the room was similar to the one she had left.
Pure – Part 4
Andre Russell had backed himself into a corner without even realising it. He’d sacked his old team and recruited another, thinking that it was just old school thinking that was preventing them from finding the solution to the rising heat levels. Since the start of February the new team had worked tirelessly, trying a dizzying array of different measures…
Pure – Part 3
The projector whirred and stuttered. Commander Anita Grey scowled at it just daring it to break down again.
Pure – Part 2
In an underwater world sealed off from its past the Keel could never be anything but incongruous.
Pure – Part 1
Zed Zone was the arse end of nowhere. It housed the downtrodden workers from the protein plant and those unfortunate enough to require a stay at the Reset, Rehabilitation and Decriminalisation Unit just across the road. It was a dreary place no matter how clement the weather was; all corroded chemical barrels and blocked drains spilling gloop from every punctured orifice and grate.
Metaman
I often find myself wondering how long humans have been fascinated by time and history. There are those who would suggest that it’s the unknown, the unobtainable that drives our hunger. And perhaps they are right.
The loss of our home world seven centuries ago was indeed a catastrophe beyond all imagination. We were at the very zenith of our technological achievement when the asteroid hit. It literally split our planet in two, sending one part careening into the heart of sun whilst the other disappeared into the far reaches of the solar system…

There are some things you just instinctively know without needing evidence. I guess you could call it intuition. Others might describe it as a sixth sense. But I don’t believe in any of that crap – usually.
Tsilbora
Yet again Tsilbora attempted to scan the star ship as it hung motionless just inside the ghostly nebula. She tried to punch a way through the electromagnetic interference it generated but it was no easy task. She watched through the view screen as lightning lanced out from the towering clouds of gas, it’s jagged brilliance playing across the bow of the stricken ship. Unknown energies pulsed within the nebula, spewing deadly bursts of radiation into the silent vacuum of space.
The Space Janitor
Moving through the corridors the janitor went, cleaning up the odd spill here and gathering up a stray piece of garbage there. It was a lonely existence since his two fellow workers Now and Then had been sent to work over in Elsewhere but it gave him a sense of purpose in his old age. He did his job well – always had done in fact. Few aberrations or blooms got past him for very long…
