Have you ever wanted to live ANOTHER LIFE...?
A VR addict receives an anonymous letter hooking her on the idea of true love. A starship commander, accused of killing his wife, takes a drug to absolve himself of his sins. An ex-con is forced to kill for sport to keep his captive daughter alive. An astronaut is infected by an alien pathogen that robs her of her identity. An alien race repels human colonization using their unique affinity for mushroom spores. A desert wanderer finds a sentient supercomputer with a plan to restart civilization. And a young man emerges from forty years of cryostasis, cured of a terminal disease, only to find his world has moved on just enough to leave him behind.
MIKE MARSBERGEN has written over a hundred stories, nine of which are featured here in ANOTHER LIFE, his first collection of science-fiction stories. Sometimes tragic and romantic, other times violent and disturbing, each of these nine speculative stories will take readers on a mindbending journey to places they won't expect.

A devastating biological weapon left behind by a supposedly extinct alien civilization begins rewriting the crew's DNA, awakening extraordinary powers - and primal urges.

At the center of it all is you - Ensign Nine - whose unique connection to the crew fuels their strength, heightens their powers, and stokes desires no one can resist. As bonds deepen and boundaries blur, the team must battle monstrous creatures, unravel ancient mysteries, and confront their own evolving natures to survive. Prepare for explosive action, shocking twists, and sizzling chemistry in this reverse harem space odyssey inspired by the minds of @Usako1935 and @ThisPeachIsDirty, and of course Stray Kids. Survival is not guaranteed. Neither is restraint.
A Big Book of Short Stories
A collection of my ideas. While most could have been cared for and nurtured until they grew into fully fledged books, they have only matured halfway, creating a efficient way to get stuck in your head. I'll also post short stories that I may or may not try turning into novels. From "The Kid is Hot Tonight," a story about such topics as high school parties and domestic abuse. To "Just Another Nightmare," a story about a kind of hell you might never have thought of. This collection will likely make you question if something is wrong with me. Spoiler alert; there is. It will also show you the farthest reaches of the world and the furthest horrors that I can write about. If you want an update on how the next story is coming along, you can ask me however you want. Seriously I'm so so lonely...![Stranger In This New Galaxy [Act One: A Life Changed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/386521509-256-k541763.jpg)
