Defiance by AndresMorenoAbrego

I was sitting on the floor in my living room watching the TV with my dad and sisters. When mom appeared on the TV wearing a black bodysuit. She held a javelin, she was standing in the middle of the arena. Looking directly at our sister, who had a sword. Athena my mother ran towards her with the javelin aiming to kill her. She ducked and ran across the arena falling on the sand. Athena approached her with the javelin poised in her right hand. My sister cried on the sand, she kept saying the same thing over and over. "Mommy please don't hurt me, please, I love you, we don't have to fight, please!" She pleaded, my mother just walked over and brought the javelin down straight through her chest. Stopping her heart. "Oh there she goes straight for the kill" laughed Liem. Mom just started laughing clearly enjoying the attention. That was her last kill, she just won the games. I woke up screaming and crying realizing it was a dream. I just rocked back and forth on the floor. All I could see in my head was my sister's face pleading with our mom for mercy.

Grand Theft Spaceman by bcoulson84
4 parts Ongoing
In the FAR-FLUNG FUTURE OF THE 64th CENTURY, the free use of SPACE has been OUTLAWED! It has been many years since the GREAT SPACE WAR between the COMMONWEALTH OF SYSTEMS and the COSMIC STAR EMPIRE ended in a tenuous ceasefire, with the EMPIRE given complete authority over regulating all space travel in the galaxy. Now, the EMPIRE has tightened its grip, effectively banning any space travel outright for all but the most privileged of the EMPIRE's citizens. No more SPACE EXPLORING, no more SPACE MINING, no more SPACE PIRACY, and most of all... no more FLIPPIN' SWEET SPACE BATTLES! How bogus is that? But even the ironclad laws of a monolithic, galaxy-spanning empire cannot stop a budding rebellion that believes SPACE IS FOR EVERYONE, nor are they any match for the long-prophesized return of the enigmatic SPACE MASTER. He is the SPACEMAN, and this is his SPACE STORY...

Season 4 of The Virus Within Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again. When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun.
