Christmas Day, 2100. As people living in the United Nation of America gave presents to their friends, children, and grandchildren, something sinister was underfoot. Only the top brass military knew any specifics, but even they weren’t sure of the full extent of the conspiracy. Deep underground, in the heart of North America, in a small…
My heart slammed in my chest, pounding at speeds that would make a cheetah blush. I quickly rolled out of bed, still wearing my armor, while I stared down at the drowsy little girl. She appeared to be wearing a nightgown, though how she obtained it when she didn’t appear to have brought any extra…
As usual, when I fell asleep, I was once again standing in front of Arthur. Interestingly, he was not wearing the kingly garb from the last two times I saw him. Instead, he now wore a warm and comfortable appearing rabbit-fur white robe, with little spots of black dye here and there. He appeared to…
I think she’s mad. She won’t say anything, but I’m pretty sure she’s quite angry with me. Punching her in the face filled me with a lot of guilt, but also a lot of satisfaction too. I feel guilty because I caught her totally off guard, and also because I do feel a bit of…
Amelia punches me so hard I can almost feel it through my suit’s dampeners. Damned impressive, when you consider this suit should be powerful enough to protect the occupant from a supernova at point blank range. "Amelia, stop!

I knew this was going to happen. Damn my luck! As I walked, I felt drops of water dripping downwards, as the sky bared its fangs at me, dumping a light torrential rain over my head. Fantastic. This is what happens when you live like mongrels in the middle of the 21st century and don’t…
Paris… a beautiful city in the past, but one that has been reduced to rubble three times in the last fifty years. Parisians have it hard. Even with the massive worldwide remodeling that took place, Parisians of all people were very fearful of technology after the nanobot hacking incident in 2027. They had the highest…
I remember when I was a kid, someone told me "Trust nobody, not even yourself." It’s kind of ironic, given my entire intelligence division is staffed entirely by my clones. Also, Harold’s wife, Helen, she teleports down here occasionally. But generally speaking, this place is only for myself. Each clone is their own person, but…
I groaned as I slumped into my bed, back at my underground base. Taking off my helmet, I set it to the side as I flopped down face-first onto the comforting material. It was so soft… I just wanted to lie there with my face pressed against the white pillowcase and the cotton comforter and…
