“Crashed” Part 7
“Crashed” Part 7 There she was. Standing in the doorway. Glowing. A fiery orange aura rippled off her skin — or rather, off the suit that clung to her like a second layer of light. It pulsed for only a few seconds… then faded completely. Ken and Patty stood frozen. Then, without a word, they […]

“The Coffee Shop”
“The Coffee Shop” Beth and her co-workers — James, Sandy, and Cecilia — decided to try the new coffee shop that had just opened across the street from their office building.

“Crashed” Part 3
“Crashed” Part 3 The knock came just after 10 a.m. Ken opened the door to find a tall, clean-cut man in full uniform. His posture was stiff, expression unreadable. “Mr. Miller?” the man asked. Ken nodded. “I’m Lieutenant Hayes, United States Army. I’d appreciate a moment of your time.” Ken stepped outside. “I figure you […]
