For those wondering what this is, we over at Speculative Fiction Authors group started a game of sorts where we try to develop a story line by line. It works like this, one person write a line of a story in a thread and the next person writes the next line of the story. You can write however you think the next line might go. We continued adding lines until we had this story, or until the weekend was over, whichever came first. [more]

A collection of speculative stories about desperation, love, and human nature. Blood and Wires: After technological advances began to blur the line between man and machine, the world was unprepared for The Flare, an astrological event that left the atmosphere scorched and the world’s digital infrastructure severely crippled. Now, functioning mechanical implants that used to be common are the most desired commodities in demand. People fight for them. Kill for them. But as Adam and Thomas Carn find out during their search for their estranged father, there are worse things than marauders to be faced in the Post-Flare world. Of Mice and Men (and Cats and Rats): Aidan Chandler might be crazy, or he might be completely normal and it's everyone else who's totally mental. At the end of the day, he doesn't think it really matters. What matters is that the people only he can see, like the memory of his father's cruel words, won't leave him alone. But even that doesn't really matter now that he's got a plan. It's a plan that's brilliant in its simplicity, a plan that will silence both of his torments forever. Primary Directive: Judgment Day has come and gone in this second apocalyptic tale, and the verdict wasn't good. After a nuclear catastrophe wipes out most of the world, ailing roboticist Carlisle Evans and one of his earlier creations are among the few left in a world of marauders and ruins. [more]

Lise is a young female Novo Homonid or Novonid, a member of an artificial humanoid species created on Planet Varada for slave labor. Novonids originally were created as farm laborers: to harvest pomma, the staple grain on Varada. Novonids are genetically engineered with green, chlorophyl-rich skin to derive nourishment from sunshine; and this made them perfect for working in the fields. Now, as their population increases the Homo Sapiens inhabitants of Varada are finding Novonids useful as low- and no-wage labor in the cities. In the capital city of Vyonna a run-down sector called the Green Zone has been set aside as a ghetto that serves as housing of last resort for Novonids. Some residents are slaves of unscrupulous owners too miserly to provide housing. Others are renegades and runaways hiding from bounty hunters. Lise has been sold to a benevolent slave breeder who rents out her services as a nanny to a Human, middle-aged single mother. Through no fault of her own Lise clashes with the police who believe she is a renegade slave. Lise also becomes the object of a forbidden romance by Thomm, an ex-slave trader who now is on a mission to improve the Novonids' treatment and eventually to emancipate them. At the same time, an uprising in the Green Zone threatens to bring retribution from the planet's brutal ruling authority. Lise discovers her Novonid boyfriend, Tagg, is involved in the insurrection and tries to use her relationship with Thomm to intervene. Thomm, however, has his own agenda. Lise is a character-driven, coming-of-age story in a science-fiction setting. It continues the story from The Lost Colony, volume V of The Earthbound Series. [more]
