I slowly packed up my apartment, not wanting to put things away, but knowing that I had to put at least some things in storage. Our wedding was three days away, and the launch

I rolled over in bed, and open my eyes when I realized I was alone. I grabbed my housecoat and walked into the living room. Looking around, I noticed Craig standing by the pa

Six transports sat on the expansive tarmac, ready to lift off for a new home. I walked by one, amazed at the size of it…I’d been on ocean liners that weren’t as big! &nbs

We were nearing the end of the first week of our ‘detour’ when all hell seemed to break loose. Craig and I were enjoying one of our infrequent times together, just laying

“There it is,” Craig whispered in excitement as he pointed out the observation deck window.
I looked at the small orb in the distance and smiled. After four lon -
The planet, called Srizaer by some long gone settlers, was beautiful. Trees were a deep green and the grass a lighter shade, almost emerald in the early morning sun. &nbs

Every so often, my uncle likes to send me ‘suggestions’ for what he thinks would be the perfect article. I look them over, usually disregarding the notion before I’m even

Last week of my first archaeological dig…what a disappointment.
In the past twenty-one days, we had assuredly gathered a large amount of garbage, and only the real archaeolo -

I was on my fifth revision of the Performing Arts Center…fifth of the day, that is. I had lost count of how many total changes I had made in the past week. I would

I stared at the hills behind our home, watching as the last remnants of sun slowly faded away and dusk moved in. I took a sip from the beer beside me, and leaned back. I closed

Craig stared at the people he had been working with for the past year; people who were his friends. He sat on the corner of a desk in the main room of the Agro-offices and -
