  1. Happy St. Paddy’s day all. If I was a week or so ahead in my story posting, my next story, which refers to the ‘Unicorn Song’ might have arrived tomorrow. The story was done before @wildone made this post. Honest. I guess maybe my comment after the chapter won’t be necessary. You’ll all be familiar with the song already. Maybe I should post chapters 1 & 2 today and tomorrow so the reference is fresh. 😁
  2. One was explained, Baxter, for having a characteristic a lot of people may have; liking hurting others. Perhaps it’s simply prejudice. My thinking in not divulging it was simply to make the Centaurians more mysterious and unlikable. I.E. humanizing them, in a way.
  3. So much for WORLD Wide Web. Perhaps this will help: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0734684/?ref_=ttep_ep_24
  4. Thanks. Maybe I need to do a sequel where Ross 128 b’s dominant species is something really annoying. I’m thinking trillions of mosquitos.
  5. Sorry I made your head hurt. But it wouldn't be science fiction without a little, you know, science.

    Thanks.
  7. Right, I haven’t made his life hard enough, gotta bring Uncle AssHat back for an encore. Or do I?
  8. Interesting. I really didn’t think that. The eating aspect, like a lot of things in my stories, aren’t planned too much in advance.
  9. Perhaps some influence there, but if I were to use a Twilight Zone as an influence, it would be “Time Enough At Last.”

    Unfortunately, true, and for sure not in our lifetimes.

    Cool.
  12. The cousins? Yes. But they’re 8 and 9, not twins. I knew something was weird when I thought I published “Journey,” and it was still unpublished a few minutes later. Wasn’t expecting this one to be published too. Oh well, I can integrate my editors’ comments afterward…

    Aha, my magical fish-hook is successful again.
  14. After the Halloween party and the sexcapades immediately after it, the boys all fall into a rhythm. There are still the occasional meetings of the Shower Jerkoff Club, slightly more frequent iPad porn nights, pool, weight room, and track visits and of course the boring 'going to classes.' One new activity has been added to all the boys' lists though. Gene occasionally gives one of the group a blowjob. Needless to say, Gene has become a very happy boy. There were very few days Gene didn't get his
  15. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" NASA director Murray Ward watched the video of Centaurus 1's travel. Theoretically, the craft should have been able to attain the speed of three times light speed. It disintegrated at less than half that speed. Six months of research and billions of dollars were wasted. Perhaps not exactly wasted; lessons will be learned from the failure that can be addressed in future attempts. Twenty years later, Centaurus 3 attained the speed of eleven times light speed. The time had
  16. Act 1 - Arrival at Proxima Centauri b "It's behind me, isn't it." "Yeah. Don't move." "No shit!" Lieutenant Trevor Gold had just turned around after we heard a crunching noise behind us. He was ten meters (~33 feet) in front of me. I’m Corporal Vincent Schmidt. Private Stuart Cooper was ten meters behind me. Whatever "it" was, was between Stuart and me. Obviously both curious and fearful, I queried, "What is it?" Trevor was somewhat of a wise ass, "Gee, let me check
  17. Prompt 263: First line: "It's behind me, isn't it." Centaurus 4 is the latest mission to Proxima Centauri b. Three attempts to reach the distant planet were unmanned. The main reason for that was that Proxima Centauri b (PC-b) is 4.22 light-years (1.3 parsecs) from Earth. Recent advancements in space travel have reduced the travel time to 153 days at ten times light speed. The story takes place roughly two hundred years in our future. Centaurus 4 has a crew of 16. The first three members of the crew have recently exited the ship and started their survey of the immediate area. What they experience is shocking, to say the least.
  18. Hardly know what to say, sorry you had to go through this.
  19. No spoiler really, but when we get to chapter 15, okay will be quite an inadequate description.

    If he isn’t three chapters ahead of us, he wouldn’t know, yet.

    It’s no secret, we can’t hear you singing over the noise from the water.

    Fewer people want blowjobs while they’re driving? 😇

    Settling in well. Fort Lauderdale is a real nice place. Vacationed there a few times when my birth mother lived in, wait for it, Davie. I suspect the boys are going to do very well in the restaurant business. Living on tips, at least they’ll start rebuilding Alec’s bankroll right away.
