2025-04-17 02:02:13 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to know how the hell that asshole got on the video feed, and how the hell he was able to do his hypnotic routine through a screen like that. Only I didn’t want this guy or CORVAC to know...
2025-04-14 20:37:07 +0000 UTC View PostThere are kisses and then there are kisses. Some people are terrible at it. Some people think opening their mouth and jabbing their tongue is all it takes. Some think opening their mouth like a gap...
2025-04-13 17:29:58 +0000 UTC View PostFialux looked so beautiful strung up in an antigravity field I'd placed in the lab for just this occasion. Coupled with the stasis field and the extra juice from my lab’s matter-antimatter reacto...
2025-04-10 14:50:31 +0000 UTC View PostSelena looked over her shoulder and frowned. Clearly she wasn’t happy about being followed.

2025-04-06 03:51:25 +0000 UTC View Post"Office hours" for me usually involved leaving behind a small transmitter tied to my wrist computer that I could use to determine when someone was knocking on my door. From there it was a matter of...
2025-04-06 03:05:45 +0000 UTC View PostI sighed. My shoulders slumped. It looked like once again Fialux had won. Just like she’d won every round so far, assuming that Fialux and Selena Solare were the same person.

2025-04-06 03:05:09 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t want to bring out the big guns, but she left me with no choice. So at the start of the next class I fished inside my desk and pulled out a small orb.
I let go and it floated ...
2025-04-06 03:04:24 +0000 UTC View PostIt was time to get down to business. The only problem with that deceptively simple and obvious plan? Nothing would draw her out and the class became pure torture as the semester wore on.

The human resources drone shuffled some papers uncomfortably on her desk and ...
2025-04-06 02:43:12 +0000 UTC View PostHer eyes narrowed. I wasn’t sure if that was her being annoyed with me for implying she swung that way or if she was annoyed with me for fishing for information.
Either way it’s not like ...

2025-04-06 02:12:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe wind whipped through my hair. CORVAC was always going on about how dangerous it was for me to have my hair out like that. People could grab it in a fight. It wasn’t aerodynamic when I was fly...
