Scifriday Stories

Pete is the captain of a generation ship that has traveled the lightyears from ruined earth to its destination system. He enjoys the privileges of his rank, unwilling to risk them by attempting a landing on the planet they have been orbiting for years. Ralph, his younger brother, has spent his life in Pete's shadow, tinkering with the half-forgotten technology of their starship. And he is eying the planet below them with longing. He decides that it is time to start the descent. The starship's name is Last Hope. The final steps of its journey and the first steps on new soil are a deadly dance to the tune of a conflict between the two brothers. -------- Cover composed using art by PLRANG ART and Dean Drobot under license from shutterstock.com

The Earth has changed It all began with an unexpected collision with a star. The Earth our own very star has become a wasteland and many have died, those who are alive need to survive. Soon humans began to discover that disaster, and extinction weren't the only things the star had brought. Some have begun to develop inhuman abilities. Enhanced senses, telekinesis, mind reading. The rarest of all are elemental who have taken over this new Earth into their own hands. I am a survivor and an elemental, the most dangerous one alive. I have chosen to stay in hiding with the humans, that stayed humans, because I knew I would be loved or hated, and given responsibilities and expectations a 17-year-old like me shouldn't get. A new threat is arising, however, the animals that survived have become savage evolved along with their knowledge. Led by the previous smartest animals who have gotten smarter and evolved from dolphins to owls or monkeys. Land, sea and air are no longer safe and the animals are planning a takeover. Now I'm sucked into something I never wanted, fighting against savage animals to save our new earth and on the run from the elemental ruler and the law. My life is coming apart thanks to a human an inhuman and a very annoying elemental that I have to count on to be safe. My name is Venus follow me as I show you what happens when stars cross.

A noirish look at a nuclear winter. Every Tuesday he climbs outside their tunnel and through the old bus and sits on top, in a beach chair, to remember. And today the snow's falling. He remembers how his family was killed in the cold front when the military finally found their rebel hideout. . . The land is covered in snow - who knows how, maybe a bomb, maybe the ice caps melted (highly unlikely), whatever the cause, the snow's freezing to the point of burning. Come, won't you visit this land for just a moment?

It takes approximately thirty seconds for almost all of the Earth's population to fall asleep. This is not usual. One man stays awake. This is even stranger. He's not a hero. This is considerably more normal. Because really, why would you want someone who actually knows what they're doing to save the planet?

A youth is placed into cryostasis. The person who wakes him up isn't the person who promised to wake him up. Disclaimer - I don't own Bleach. One-shot is written for the sixteenth sci-fi challenge.

To me, stories are like sparks jumping out of a fire. They are lightening flashes, which last for a second but leave you dazed and dreaming for more. Every now and then I get these brilliant flashes in my mind which I feel compelled to share with anyone willing to read. I feel Wattpad is the perfect platform for short stories and I’ll be updating this collection randomly. Be sure to check back. I won’t be writing in a specific genre. Everything goes. I will be having fun and you all are invited to join. Feel free to comment and tell me how you feel. From me to you, I open a window into my mind. Hope you like the view.

A woman is trapped on a mysterious island and doesn't remember anything. Will she restore her memory and return home?

A combined list of all my short stories.

How do we really know if these are all just a dream that hides us from the real nightmare...

Winter is not brief now. The cold lasts months and months. I've never known fall, and summer is just a myth. Ever since the war, nothing's really the same. And it's partially my fault. For #SciFriday's Nuclear Winter Contest

Here is where I might publish some bits and pieces of what I have written. They may become more, or maybe they won't. Please check them out. Perhaps if you tell me to, I'll elaborate on one sooner than later.

This is a short story I wrote for a writing prompt competition through SciFi Competitions. They wanted you to write a short story with 'Escape' as the theme. http://www.wattpad.com/73202740-scifi-competitions-challenge-1-the-one-page-wonder Hope you enjoy it!

(For the Scifriday challenge). Years ago, biological experiments got out of control, allowing genetically advanced specimens to escape. The rich hide behind their city walls in lands where the augmented species can't survive, leaving the rest of the fertile world to their own devices- and the mercy of the war lords who rule their territories with iron fists.
