    The Second Commandment Don’t make for yourself an image of God, Of heaven, earth and what is beneath it This image is illusion, not the Lord Phantom of the mind, painted bit by bit By imagination and corrupt wit And the painter’s artful execution Don’t bow to an idol, don’t worship it Do not fall for a self-made illusion The colorful image is just a plot Drawn to draw you in and tempt your spirit Ignite and stir desires, keen and hot, Fuel the daydream that you have painted Until

    Space Pioneer 4 Akar Kazbek The Horus returned from a trip to the Mohic Empire and landed on Cyrus, the space hub for many illegal or half-legal transactions in space. The ship was directed to a hangar and the men got off, except of Galven and Forrit who performed an engine check and supervised the refueling of the tanks. A hovercraft tanker was directed to a hatch with inbuilt fueling tubes. The fueling crew plugged the tubes to their vehicle and Helium-3, necessary for travel in real sp

    Ember Days

    Dolores Esteban posted new chapter in Ember Days

    Ember Days “This old mansion looks like a palace in a fantasy movie,” Sally said to her husband as they ascended the stairs to the wide entrance of the hotel. “Uh,” Sally cried out when she stumbled. Her husband, Tom, jumped forward to stop her from falling down the stairs. Sally took a deep breath and smoothed down her jacket. “A broken step,” Tom said, pointing at the step, then took another bite of the turkey sandwich that he had bought in a diner on their way to the hotel. “Eat th

    Sally and Tom won a stay in an expensive hotel. The hotel looks like a palace in a fantasy movie, but something's wrong there. Sally feels scared. A huge shadow is flying by, a bat of tremendous size. Something horrible happens.

    Many thanks for reading. I'm glad you liked the story, although it's indeed somewhat strange. I'll continue with another short story, Space Pioneer 4 - Azar Kazbek.

    Chapter 14

    Dolores Esteban commented on Dolores Esteban's story chapter in Chapter 14

    Thanks for taking the time and giving the story a try. I'm sorry it didn't meet your expectations. Space Pioneer isn't a romance series in the first place and wasn't planned as such. Future installments will focus even more on the hard science category of the genre.

    They arrived at the planet seven days later. The Horus went into orbit and the computer scanned the planet thoroughly. The sensors detected no life forms were, but discovered the remains of an old town. Lest decided to land on the planet and set out and investigate the old city. The Daglon warship landed in a plain, half an hour flight away from the town. Lest, Jeff and Corr took a shuttle and set out to explore the ancient city. The men were stunned at the sight of monumental buildings that w

    Okpara led Lest and Jeff down a corridor. He stopped in front of a wooden door and pulled an iron key from a pocket of his robe. He unlocked the door and they stepped into a small chamber that smelled heavily of cinnamon. Lest and Jeff suppressed a sneeze. The walls were clad with violet wall-hangings. An ancient violet carpet covered the floor. Wooden sideboards stood against the walls. Six candles were arranged on each. Another wooden sideboard on the wall opposite the door was covered with

    Space Pioneer 3 The Yanara Archives The Horus stopped on Ephos, the Las Vegas-like planet at the edge of the Daglon solar system. The crew parked the warship in a hangar and rented a smaller and less striking ship to fly to Daglon. They landed in Amun, the amusement park, that was built in the style of the old days. Many buildings were sky-scraping towers that were made of steel and glass, others resembled Egyptian pyramids. The crew got off the ship and departed. The men went to pursue

    After visiting Daglon, the Horus crew is in search of a new job. The Society of Yanara Archives offers a search contract and hires the crew to find out about the origin of the Yanara people. Ancient documents tell of a journey through space and point to an unknown planet. The Horus crew does an elaborate research, finds a possible candidate, and sets out to explore the planet. What they find is shocking.

    Thanks for featuring my story and the great review. Cold Case is one of my favorite stories. I was inspired by one of the weekly prompts. Many thanks to comicfan for Prompt 122.
