《The Secret Policemen》Nightshift
Advertisement
The man walked down the alleyway, wearing blue overalls and dirty work boots. He was heading to the nightshift at the docks.
The man was going to stop at the tea wagon on Victory Road and get a cup of tea to drink on the 30-minute walk down to the docks. ‘I will get a nice cuppa and smoke a couple of cigarettes on the way down to work’ - he thought to himself.
The man got to the end of the alleyway and checked his pockets, abruptly stopping on Victory Road - he had forgotten his cigarettes.
He turned around and headed back up the alleyway. He lived in a boarding house in the alley; a small room he rented for 50 shillings a month. It was nothing special - just a room and a bed.
The man walked up the alleyway and headed into the boarding house.
‘I forgot me smokes!’ - He said to the man sitting in the manager's office.
The man in the office smiled.
He went to his room and picked up his cigarettes and matches, and then headed back down to the alley.
The man tried again. He was going to get a cup of tea from the tea wagon on Victory Road and then head to work, down at the docks.
As the man was walking down the alleyway he could see a man jogging towards him. He must have been imagining, but the man looked like he had a gun.
Then the man heard someone shouting. They were shouting something about the police.
The man was confused. They must be shouting at the fellow with the gun.
They shouted again. They were shouting about armed police. They were shouting at the man with the gun to put his hands in the air.
The man was confused.
Then there was gunfire. Seven shots.
The man in the blue overalls was laying on the ground. He was dead.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.
