《Sasha》32. ~Echo~

On his back, Yatsu opened his eyes and squinted at the dark purple sky. Strange, he couldn't recall a sky like that, ever. Yatsu tried to raise his head to check himself but was unable to move. Immobile, he observed the strange sky, while black and grey clouds floated by. Time didn't seem to matter, two seconds, two hours or two days, he couldn't tell the difference until footsteps echoed toward him, feet dragging across rough pavement. A boy about his age walked right past him, Yatsu attempted to call out to him but the boy’s arm... thick red liquid dripped down from his shoulder his arm wasn't entirely attached to his body... Still, the boy kept walking and it wasn't long before he left Yatsu’s view and his footsteps ceased. What happened to him? Yatsu shrugged. Time passed and more footsteps approached, this time they came from the opposite direction and they didn’t drag. Yatsu recognized both approaching people. Braxton, Eva's boyfriend, approached Yatsu. Brandon stopped back a ways, barely in Yatsu’s field of vision. Unlike the guy that dragged his feet, Braxton walked right up to him. No blood dripped from his arms, he was all intact. "Yatsu," Braxton whispered, his wide eyes still roamed the landscape. Brandon's head turned side to side, watching for something. The unusual behaviour made Yatsu shiver. "The Queen comes for you," they whispered together. "She is not far." "She will devour what is left and toss you away when you are completely dead," Brandon stepped forward and walked away, leaving Yatsu's vision. "Heed our warning, Yatsu..." They left as quickly as they’d arrived, one step at a time. It wasn’t long before Yatsu heard something new. Instead of slow moving people, something scrambled about. "Where are you~" The sing song voice reminded him of two different people, one definitely Sasha. "Where are you~" The scrambling sound continued. "I'm here, Sasha!" Yatsu called out. The scrambling grew louder and a female figure suddenly stood over him. "There you are~" said the figure. Her voice belonged to something not human. Her eyes blinked black, her single pink pig-tail, bobbed side to side, and extra limbs extended from her back. Three hands held knives that she rose in the air. A fourth held something else, she opened her hand and a third eye, pure white, stared from the palm. "I found you~" Yatsu panicked and screamed but couldn’t move. Three knives came down, stabbing Yatsu in the chest.

Galactic Economics
Humanity enters the galaxy and makes First Contact, only to begin to realize that not everything is at it seems. It appears that the galactic alien community has forgotten to invent some rather important economic concepts that human civilization has taken for granted. This is a look at a hypothetical galactic scale barter economy, how that would work, or how as one of our main characters Sarah realizes... it doesn't. And as the galaxy falls apart at the seams, it's up to the best and brightest in humanity to put things back together. Story contains a lot about markets, logistics, development, and the best and worst of human history. Not so much Space Marines nuking aliens. If you enjoyed the trade negotiations and Senate politics in the Star Wars prequels, and wished that there was an entire standalone story consisting solely of those parts, this might be for you! Galactic Economics is also posted on reddit here.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0
