Sahra was on the opposite side of the station to Ore Processing when it
blew up. For a tunnel rat and a slave, this means nothing but trouble.
But for Sahra, that’s just the beginning.
Her people need a Saviour
to lead them to freedom, but no such person dare volunteer with the
Masters’ guns ready to fire at all times. What harm could there be in
doing a few things to help the Saviour finally turn up?
As it happens… quite a lot.
Between
lockdowns, angry masters, the mistaken actions of the Rebels, angry sibs, and more rules in home and at work, Sahra has enough to deal with.
But when she returns to an area that should have killed her the first time, Sahra discovers… something… special.
Can she get the Rebels to listen to her when she can barely speak?
Can she help the Saviour arrive at last?
Can she find enough food for her family (Nineteen members and counting) every day?
And, more importantly, can she trust her brother to keep his big mouth shut?
She’s humanity’s best hope.
Hevun help them all.

Challenge #00863-B132: Shattered Fables

It turns out that some species’ mythical creatures are almost identical to real creatures found on the home planet of another species.

K’karik almost forgot to breathe. There, sitting in the enclosure of the Terran zoo, was  clearly Skybear. It was grey like a storm cloud, and sitting up against a tree. Its ears were the white puffs of high stratus clouds.

Just like in the stories.

Legend said the song of the Skybear was a marvel to behold.

Legend didn’

The downside of being flexible. Part 20 Bajillion

As it turns out, having come fresh from seeing an expert, my foot problems are 100% related to me being hyper-flexible.

Loose ligaments FML.

I am now the proud owner of some orthotic inserts that make me feel like there’s an extra pair of socks in my shoes, and some instructions to go find better shoes.

The shoes I am wearing are bad for my floppy feet. Hu-freaking-zah. I need stiffer shoes with a firmer grip, but that still have shock

Challenge #00862-B131: Escape

Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting.

Our Glorious Leader, Membrixel Spite, has decreed that he shall make
ours a perfect nation. And to that end, he is correcting and eliminating
the Anomalies.

If you find this after I am gone, you will know. Not only did I fail, but I have also been found Anomalous and taken for
correction. Or execution.

Did you notice? Are you reading my words
any more? Does it even matter that I put

Challenge #00861-B130: The Inadvisability of Truth

The greatest truth in the universe is that the truth exists. The hard part is admitting we have no idea what it is or even where to begin finding it. I am sure we will eventually invest something that will let us invent something so we can discover something that will let us invent something that will give us a clue as to what we might need to invent to figure out what direction we should start looking for advancements in order

Challenge #00860-B129: Cue Maniacal Laugh

“Oh no, he’s won! Now the mad genius is going to destroy the world!”
“What? No. Why would I destroy the world? I like the world. It is where I keep all my stuff.”

“But– You’re going to destroy the infrastructure. The economy. The Pax Consumerist!”

“Nonsense,” sad Mad Doctor Valerie. “I’m just destroying the part of it that keeps people down. Translation, I’m unseating you and all your upper-class ilk by distributing all wealth evenly.”
