HATSSSSS Chapter Twenty-five
It had actually been some time since Leo went out to chop wood. A bit humid for it at the moment. Nothing Leo couldn’t handle. The process was strangely fun as well, triggering all the little instructions in his head to cut things up into nice, even...
Scars Chapter Six
The port was essentially the same as the last one. The grandiosity of its large ships and wavering sea was slightly lost on the second time around, even still, it was a fantastic sight. The sun had set, leaving a sea of purple, gold, and blue in its...

“OK!" Missy started. “Bedtime!" She was sitting on his bed, holding one of his pillows. “Right, so head on over to the couch," Leo replied, motioning back at the living room. “Nope. You already forgot about our deal? I get you to sleep with me! It's...

Box after box, Leo went through and dug up any reusable junk. Wires, batteries, ancient software disks. Though that was just the technology stuff. Then came the more random bits of useless memorabilia like books, VHS tapes, and novelty shirts. “Wow, is...

BitS Chapter Eight
“You said you weren’t a spy, but you sure know how this whole spy satellite thing works,” Joshua said. He held a volatile tool in his hand, equivalent to a blowtorch in his own lexicon, spinning it around by the finger guard. “I suppose, in a manner...
HATSSSSS Chapter Eight
Leo awoke properly, just before his alarm went off. He quickly slammed his hand down to shut it off a mere second after it started. Leo got up and stretched, then quickly glanced back to see if Missy was there. Surprisingly she was gone. Certainly she...
