Having an archangel visit me in my office slowed down my plans for the day, especially given he practically ambushed me, but it had to be done. Finally, I’ve finished our discussion, and we’re ready to go. I step out of my chair and grumble under my breath. "Well, in any case, I believe that…
I keep rubbing my arms, trying to wake them up, but no matter what I do the cold won’t go away. I’m in my regular clothes now, the same jumpsuit every other person on Earth wears, yet I feel so distant from them. They aren’t like me. They walk down these white halls, staring at…
My eyes open up as the morning dawn peeks through the window, and I unleash a mighty yawn, feeling every muscle in my body crackle as I stretch. Sarah isn’t in bed now. She tends to wake up and slip out of bed early a lot lately. It’s annoying, if you ask me. Then again,…
Lora slides out of her chair and walks away from the bar, leaving only Steven for me to stare at.

"I met Steven Feldmann during a lunch-hall meeting. I walked in to get myself a nutrition bar, and to my surprise, the Supreme Commander’s son was standing with a group of miners, listening respectfully to their complaints. I’ll spare you the boring details, but after I walked over and talked to him, I could tell…
"Mister Feldmann can be a bit eccentric." Amy mutters the cautious warning as we approach the door to a rooftop elevator. Amy landed her ship on the landing pad several dozen feet behind us, and now this small building, back on Earth, is the place that will take me to whoever calls the shots. ‘Mister…
I move the file across each nail slowly, deliberately, each pass a work of art, every movement done with purpose. I am a beautiful, divine being, and performing even the most menial task must be done with dignity and grace. When it comes to my personal hygiene, no expense must be spared, no amount of…
