*START HERE!* After a long kiss with his wife Anna, Syrus turned to his eldest son, and stretched his fingers with the crack of hands that had been fighting a very long time, before pulling a cigarette from his coat pocket, putting it between the wiry whiskers in his beard, which totally obscured his lips, and lit it with a flame from the tip of his finger before making eye contact. “Zakary.” He spoke in a calm if restrained tone, one expected from someone used to barking out orders, for a longer time than it could be reasonably expected to deliver a conversationally toned briefing, continuing “Except for your answer right here, right now on this porch, you are to enter monk mode, and keep up with me, it shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes for us to reach the southeast gate. And another 20 to reach the path to the ruins. Now let’s get moving. We’re burning starlight!”

*Serialized Fiction* Derrin Listron is an ordinary steelworker living an ordinary life in Pittsburgh—until one night changes everything. What begins with a glimmer of hope for a better future soon spirals into mystery, danger, and revelations that challenge everything he thought he knew about himself and the world around him. As hidden forces emerge from the shadows, Derrin finds himself drawn into a reality far stranger than he ever imagined.

Soon, newborns will be engineered through a "collective" effort - and not necessarily from parents of different sexes.

"The grieving period is far from over. However, Ma'ite, Eywa is with you. The great mother has a plan for all of us and it will soon be revealed. I pray that you believe in that." After Mo'at spoke, she moved aside to allow her daughter to be alone. In her absence, Neytiri saw as one lone atokirina floated lightly above her. Almost dancing around her head before drifting off. This was a sign. It had to be. (Disclaimer that this is somewhat an alternative drabble of events that have happened in the universe because I have not read the comics. This does not strictly follow the storyline at all.)

Masharn followed him. He made it all the way back to the desert that he entered this world from. This time he knew where he was going. He got back to the village. He now recognized some things that he didn't recognize before. He followed these things that he recognized. and gound where his kingdom should be. No, not should be was there, was there. He saw a tunnel that led down into the ground. Gor'sht came out of the tunnel into a cavern and he saw a massive castle in the center, Devoid of all life. Gor'sht walked up to the castle and was in awe of what he saw. "I feel like I should be happy to be home." Gor'shr said out loud. "But i'm not because my soul mate will only be able to spend part of her time here with me. I know you are there. I knew you were following me since the moment I left your friends house" "Honey, You will be ok. As long as I know you will be here waiting for me I will always come back to you. My King." "My Queen."

The lab sat beneath a stretch of desert that never made the news. No signs. No maps. Just heat above and silence below. Commander Carlos leaned over the glass partition, staring into the chamber. “Why do they call it the Black Box?” Rachel asked. Carlos didn’t look away. “Because no one knows how it thinks anymore.”

"What do you think is in there, really?" Elias whispered, his eyes never leaving the monolithic slab of matte-black carbon fiber that dominated the center of the subterranean server farm. It didn't hum or whir. It just existed, a perfect, absorbing void. Sarah adjusted her technician's headset. "A neural network that can predict corn futures in 2042 down to the bushel. Why?"

I was standing in my living folding clothes when I saw who I thought was Micheal come in through the front door. I said to him I thought he was out back with the boys. He told me he wasn't Micheal and that his name was Mike. This is when I realized there were differences. I should have noticed the differences a long time a go I thought. I started to holler for Micheal. But Mike already had my mouth covered and he was dragging me to the bedroom. He threw me on the bed. He said “you are going to pay for your husband making me lose my Dani.” I mouthed “your Dani” He started undooing his belt. I started trying crawl to the other side of my bed. But he grabbed my legs and pulled me to him and held me tight and started to unbutton my pants.

A person confined in a sterile pod in the year 2084 reflects on their isolation under a controlling group called the Saviors, who promise eventual rebirth in a “new Eden.” Surrounded by others in similar enclosures, they begin to question the imposed beliefs of obedience and endurance. Through silent communication with a neighboring girl who still holds faith, the narrator realizes their own skepticism has grown too strong to ignore. Rejecting the doctrine, they seize a symbolic plaque and shatter the glass barrier of their prison. In an act of defiance and self-determination, they choose uncertainty and freedom over passive confinement, leaping into the unknown.

A high school senior has to re-do his life time and time again until the 'system' thinks he did it right.

This week, I worked on my vehicle templates for my Savage Worlds game. I made a slight change to the way things are built in the Science Fiction Companion. Adding Rarity to give a rough idea of whether this would be something heroes could buy or have to find, plus a couple of other things.

The first chapter of my story. Character‘s in chapter: ghost, blitz (formerly speedster), the execution (alien)

I received feedback on the last post where I talked about my enhancements to Savage World: Adventure Edition, specifically that DNA Splicing is overly powerful. I made an effort to correct that. These are the details of that.

Having found an apprentice candidate, Olorin visits his home and discovers something shocking about the candidate's dad...

This is the first emtry to the story im making starring levi lochwood (ghost) and evan fleet (speedster) . Credits to my friend for making any art in the story

When a powerful energy blat destroys a probe hovering above Great Red Spot of Jupiter the Interplanetary spaceship the Arcturus is sent to investigate. A wormhole is discovered embedded within the wormhole leading to the far reaches of space.

In my world of Xethos Lands, I felt the cybernetics, DNA splicing, cyberdecks, and general netrunning needed an overhaul from the standard of Savage Worlds: Adventure Edition Science Fiction Companion. This week, I will express what those changes are.

Disgusted by the state of the world, the main character, Olorin Adegoke, looks for an apprentice and finds it in an unlikely source.

The prologue to the story I'm writing. Pretty basic, nothing notable. It's basically meant to explain a little bit of the main character's backstory, as well as explain where their powers came from.

I plan to use Savage Worlds: Adventure Edition for my RPG system while I develop mine in the background. I want to get developing the world sooner rather than later because that will take the most time to build a rich and inviting world of adventure.
