On a desperate mission of self-preservation, a colony spaceship from Earth encounters an abandoned vessel belonging to the Tlatoani - A species hell-bent on using humans as guinea pigs to their biological and medical experiments. Spotting a priceless opportunity, the humans board the drifting vessel to find more than what they bargained for.
Personal Note:
I have always wanted to write a Sci-fi story, especially since I binge-watched all the 1990s Star Trek shows a few years back. However, I never felt that I was ready for it. In my mind, writing sci-fi would require loads of research regarding, well... Science! Nonetheless, I do not think I will get far if I do not try. Therefore, I have posted this short story in an attempt to do just that, and to learn as always. This story will be told in three parts.

Your Wings Will Betray You
In a distant future where humanity has abandoned Earth in favor of colonizing the entire universe, the dangerous job of piloting ships has been delegated to androids. When one of those pilots goes on a murderous rampage, it's set to be decommissioned by the Magnus-Barlowe corporation. Unfortunately, this AI is self-aware, and the engineer is an idiot. A scientist staging a prison break steals both a ship and the android to be its pilot, hoping to escape the claws of capitalism. An opportunity to do just that is presented when the mismatched crew is presented with a task: rescue the kidnapped daughter of a black-market salesman and be granted safe passage to a planet without a single MBC colony to bother them. Even though making deals with thieves is generally regarded as a bad idea, there doesn't really seem to be a choice for these wayward souls. With a crew made up of human and synthetic criminals, getting one measly kid from a space station full of scientists can't be too hard. Right? on hiatus
A Number of Wrong Turns
Being given the task of investigating Nevada's bordello's should be the dream job of any young man. But Faré isn't an ordinary young man and this particular brothel has more than lace behind the curtains. The clientele isn't human, but then, neither is his girlfriend, employer or closest friend; he's not a bigot. The problem is that the bordello is being operated by the Andskoti, a group of aliens who don't have the best of intentions for the human race. They're also strong, smart and the fact that they look human makes catching them a whole lot harder. That's a lot to land in the hands of an 18 year old. Fortunately, he's only expected to find them; once he has, Linith, Rheda and Ayjer can come in and clean house. But there is a snag in the plan. Faré has the worst kind of luck. (This was a semi-challenge on my part, to see if I could write a short story. I set myself a target of 7000 words and... failed miserably. Nonetheless, it's a fun tale and the kind of lighthearted style I've been trying to get back into for a while. I hope you enjoy)Complete
Crafted Origins
They've kidnapped many. None have escaped. All have been killed before they can do so. Except for one. Ty, the only person with a successful experiment in months, somehow manages to escape. He then warns the first person he can find- Adam. They start a journey, which at first is only to warn more people. An animal lover, town council member, wanted thief, crew member of a spaceship, hunger games champion, and innkeeper. All of this while trying to protect the few people they can from the main enemy. Ty eventually decides to turn back and attack. To destroy them before they destroy humanity. (I made the cover myself. I know Seto is no longer a member of Team Crafted, but he was when I started writing this book, and I am NOT stopping a book because a person is no longer in a group. I am aware I left out the production crew (DeceptiBonk, BlueMonkey, and WeedLion). They were not included because they are not members of the actual team. There are no ships in this. All characters, unless otherwise specified, are 100% human.)Complete
Book of the apocalypse
"Every book is written by someone. They write it with their love, their hate, their life, their passion, their dreams. Never take another person's work too light." What would you do if you were the last human being on an earth filled with flesh eating monsters and happened to stumble upon a strange book that seems to draw you in? Would you read it? Or would you leave it? A youth who calls themself Don, has found themselve in this situation. After finding a strange book and meeting someone calling himself Don's 'imaginary friend', our protagonist's life of constant survival has been turned upside down. Content warning: This story contains body horror, psychological horror, depressing theme's and gore. Also spiders play a part in this story. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
Fallen Star
This is my take on those stories that have only one human male on a planet full of anthros. You know the ones, where a nuke, virus, or/and war that destroyed the human race except for one and for some unexplain reason ten years later furries rule the earth with a fully functioning government and technology. Oh, and sometimes this human has all the powers of comics and mange for also unexplained reason or another. With every character is spelled out on these bio picks before you even read the story, ruining any suspension or mystery the story could have. Sorry, went on a little rant but I have a hard time reading those kinds of stories, so I decided to make my own. So the actual story; A human crash landed onto a alien world where the dominant species are ten feet tall female wolves. Now he have to survive this warrior world that seeks to use him or destroy him, but under his meek facade is something much more then any one could imagine. Hope you enjoy.
Lost in Time
Commander Nia, of The USS Nebulus, follows a cosmic trail to find her captain, who is kidnapped by a Type V civilization in the Epsilon Carinae System of the Carina-Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. She descends into an H II cloud, breath bated, unaware of what awaits her on the other side. What she finds sends a shockwave that shudders her very pillars of existence. *Fun Fact* This story began as a short story I wrote a while back. But then I thought, what the hell, couldn't hurt to try and make it a ten-volume novella. That's why the first part is quite long spanning about 5,000 words. But the third part onwards I have eased into a more Wattpady...format. So enjoy! And guys, don't forget to comment and vote!
Corporate Pigs
This is a story about businesses. More specifically, businesses run by pigs. In the year 2112, the world is ruled by corporations which are, in turn, run by pigs. It is up to one man, his friends (and maybe a few enemies), to see if they can't change things for the better. (I wrote this for NaNoWriMo, so there is some MAJOR editing that will need to be done later. If this story gains some popularity, I may post the edited version online.) (For those of you who have read some of Corporate Pigs before, I realized that it would be a fairly lengthy process to go chapter by chapter, posting sections of the story. I have decided, therefore, to post the whole story in one shot. I apologize for any spelling errors or if things are worded oddly. Enjoy!)Complete
Escaping My Shadows
The novel started as a short story that was submitted to a writing contest (didn't win). It is very loosely based upon the Babylon 5 Universe (telepaths, shadows, plethora of different races, etc.). I still continued to think about the story and how it ended without a final resolution (though the story did have an ending, it left a lot of questions about the protagonist). Thanks to the obsession and compulsion I have with writing (it's a blessing and a curse) I decided to continue the story to final resolution. This is it. A race called the Chitoxan came from an unknown area of space and declared war on the races making up the Earth-Alliance. More technically advanced than the races they encounter, the overwhelming power of the shadow vessels results in most battles ending in complete defeat for the Earth-Alliance. Only by massing fire on an individual shadow vessel or, in extremely desperate situations, committing suicide with a ship's reactor overload, can a shadow vessel be defeated. Earth and Earth-alliance colonies are slowly being conquered and occupied by Chitoxa. The humans on these occupied colonies are enslaved and forced to serve the Chitoxan's every need. A young man volunteers for the Space Marines during the Chitoxan war. Upon induction, he discovers that he is 'blessed' with unique abilities. However, these abilities cause his life to be changed drastically and terribly. He is taken away and forced into a never-ending nightmare. After a quick and violent encounter between Earth and Chitoxa, another Earth fleet is beaten and is almost wiped out. The surviving ship gets a lucky shot at an attacking shadow vessel, slicing off one of its appendages. The pain and shock of the loss does something to the human controller of the battle crab....Complete
