Face In The Bush

RIIIIIIINNNNG!

Chairs screeched back from their tables as we got up to grab our things and leave. Our teacher reminded us about homework but no one really paid attention as we were all giddy to go home. The halls were filled to the brim with other kids who bustled back and forth, I just wanted to get out, so I wiggled, dodged and shoved by.

At the time I believe my friends were waiting for me, yet as soon as I came outside I didn’t find them. They weren’t there. I looked but they never entered my sight. Surely they had waited for me?

Nevermind, I would see them again tomorrow anyway, and no I couldn’t text or ring them as I had no phone at the time, which I would get once I became ten years old (next year). Instead, home it was and not the park. Shame, I was up for some play, that, and it was a sunny day.

Most of the evening I was on my xbox and played Halo Combat Evolved, a great game, one of my favourites. Then, after dinner their was homework. I recalled the teacher who reminded us. Reluctantly I switched my console off, swept my pen of the desk and began to write. Maths…ugh, even at first glance my head banged. The hours dragged by and most of it involved a long, distant stare, I was lost and stuck…and bored. I gave it a break and turned my gaze onto the outside world. My eyes wavered across our street through my bedroom’s window. That was when I came upon it…

The Battle Of Halitheyyya

By Matt

In Sci-Fi, Stories

Halitheyyya was where I trained to become a soldier of the Unity Empire — and on one fateful day, with rifle in hand, ready to shoot upon a set of targets on the firing range; my buddy at my side turned to speak…

BLAM!

My face was covered in a warm substance, my eyes closed out of reflex. I knew what it was yet I sent a hand across my face and opened my eyes.

‘Blood’, I thought.

On the ground lied my buddy, his head strewn by, what I had glimpsed, a green beam. Smoke wisped from the area of impact, it had been blown to bits and the man’s blood soaked into the sun-lit snow. I ran for cover whilst other soldiers in the vicinity did the same, whereas others legged it to the main base. Unfortunately, a select few were shot. Alarms rang, sirens howled and the commanding officers all began to bellow orders. I edged my head round the corner to glare at wherever this sniper was. No sniper stood in sight, only snow and rocky outcrops…and fighters. A swarm of them soared down and fired a barrage of plasma upon us and the base. The AA guns became the first defense to fall. Explosions filled the air and shook the ground. Then, from the last wave of fighters, my eyes lifted and fixed onto a singular object. A massive starship came and broke through Halitheyyya’s atmosphere. A kind of vessel I had never seen before, no one had at that time. More fighters spawned out from that thing, so many waves.

The Seven Lords of Draako

“Lilish, go find Thex. He wants you to go over the hill with him”

“Again?”

“Yes — now pick up your tail and go, and may the seven lords guide you both”

“Yes, mother”

The little reptilian girl did what she was told, she picked up her tail and roamed about the place, packed her things into a bag…double checked to see if she had everything.

“My necklace!”

The little girl picked up her necklace of stone and crystal off from her bed. She had laid it there, earlier. She checked again; food, drink, cowls, binoculars, a map and the necklace.

“Good, got everything”, she thought. Then proceeded outside where a bright sky became too much for her sight to handle.

Lilish raised a hand to give her eyes a moment to adjust. A warm, soft sky greeted her, where two suns hovered and gave there light to lush land she stood on.

A shadow climbed over her, blotted out the suns, and gave her eyes respite.
