《Anxiety and the Beginning》Desolate

Desolate
by Sam M. Phillips
Listen unhappily to my thoughts,
A desolate landscape,
Navigation impossible,
No stars, just shifting sands.
Eerie sound,
Keening cry,
A pulse,
Must try to take control,
A hundred strides get me no-where,
Sit and wait,
Will I escape alive?
Sporadic skirmishers,
Nomadic warriors,
A clink of steel,
A grunt,
Blood cakes the sand underfoot.
A destiny,
A picture,
A pestilent horde,
Moving too fast to outrun.
Worshippers around the feet
Of a titanic effigy,
Low drone,
Lascivious and mocking,
Pulled levers and a long, slow whistle.
Thrown offerings,
Bodies crushed,
Mutant beasts,
And broken fortifications.
Brooding black peaks,
A long valley slices between,
A plane in a storm,
Thunder and lightning,
The gods are laughing.
Carrion birds
And sun bleached skeletons,
Deepening darkness
And a superior force.
I let my breath out slowly,
An unspeakable pleasure,
In the face of all this.

Blue Hills
Nothing had ever felt quite right for Alexander Adamson. He'd worked his way up to a job he could tolerate, a few casual friends, and even a nice little apartment that he could call his own, though it really wasn't. The problem was that none of it was satisfying. It was as though he were going through the motions of a life, rather than having one of his own. Of course, it didn't exactly feel right when he woke up in a strange bed in the middle of nowhere. Nor when he was told that he was now the proud owner and operator of a local farm. A farm that had belonged to a late uncle he'd never known. But with the first train out of town a full 'season' away, he had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time, perhaps, to even get to like the strange little town of Blue Hills. I have a discord now. Marvel at my ability to somehow still be antisocial on the other side of a screen! Back from hiatus along with my other fiction. Chapters are on a Thurs/Sun schedule until book 3 of that fiction is completed, at which point I'll be updating this daily. At which point uh.... I dunno what I'm going to do.

Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.
