A writer, a nurse, a legal aide, and a bellydancer. This should be the setup of a dirty joke, Clancy thought, not a hiking party. Or what was left of it anyway, with Danger Dan, the party leader, dead, his lower half back on Earth, the rest miles back dissolving in amber.

I was relieved to see I had another hour to sleep so I pulled the blanket over my head and tried to drift off. I could hear the shower running in the background and tried to tune it out.

You’re murderers!” the young man shrieked as he was led to the guillotine. The blade cranked up again, the ropes arguing with their strain as the sharp edge of the metal gleamed. The steel had gained a pale red tinge, for having been stained with so much blood. “Shut yer yapping,” Carlossen the executioner said Continue reading The Gloaming ‘All I want, is to go to the moon’, thought Colin for the hundredth time, as he looked at it in the sky, absent-mindedly twisting the ring on his finger. Suddenly, there was a resounding crash. Colin whirled around. A big red spaceship had appeared in his garden! He watched in amazement as the door opened Continue reading Colin’s trip to the Moon |
