《Promise》Drive
Advertisement
It's a long drive home after work as my weary body can barely function due to stress and the surprisingly instant cold tempature. I should have expected it cause the last few years we didn't get show at all but it was supposed to reach a high of 37° Celsius bet its more like -27° and I'm feezing my balls off starting my Camaro that I had recently bought after getting a promotion to District Manager after working at my job for over 10 years. Pulling out of the parking lot I almost hit Roland who's second to me he looks as eager as I am to leave work and go home before we're hit with anything more severe, as I wave for him to go first he thanks me and waves as he leaves the parking lot I turn on the radio to listen to the News but only got static or the occasional low hum of a nearby channel trying to come through. I continue driving as I get onto the highway I notice the darkening sky above and a harsh wind that seems to be hitting the car head on which hindered me very little as my car pushed through with easy but the bigger vehicles started to slow down on the highway most caught onto this quick as the first drops of snow pierced the skyline. A grim sight as we were entering a thick fog on the highway, it wasn't even 5mins into the fog when I heard commotion up ahead and I slam the Breaks as I slid on the frozen pavement into a 18 wheeler skidding across the highway from the other side taking out the front of my car as several were hit by it spinning off down the slope of the mountain we were driving through I was one of the luckiest of few pushed off as we were still near the base of the cliff. There was a forrest to catch many of the cars as we were caught by the old strong oak trees the Semi's weight pushed through them like they werent there, a few cars swerve off the road every so often even watched a cop on a motorcycle get his skull crushed as his bikes came crashing down the hill, due to the fog all I could see was his bikes lights flashing as a very vague silhouette slammed into a very wide birch tree. I passed out due to a panic attack or maybe head trama as a ford nearly drstroyed whats left of my car.

I awoke maybe 3 hours later it was so fucking cold I had to get home it was about a good 7 miles North east but besides the howling cold it was eerily quiet I slowly made my way up to the highway the road was empty besides the wrecked car and a large blood stain that travels a good 15 feet infront of it as if 2 people were ejected from the front seat but no second vehicle or any at that point but something did hit the cat as the whole front caves inward like it wrapped around a pole but no sign of anything I hear distant thunderous crackles f thunder or I hope it is at least, I start my long walk home through this frigid coldness hearing the occasional Screams of people probably who also went off road but their screams cut off shortly after they start. I can't move my fingers due to them turning purple from frostbite and it seems to be getting colder I'm coming up to ny house I share with my brother, his wife and there younger son.
in the front yard I see what I can vaguely call a moose I think its huge with antlers, It looks my way with its disfigured face all crooked into a grotesque human like smile as it shuffled backwards into the forrect like a flimsey empty sock puppet I make a made dash up to the house to see a massive hole in the front wall where the front door was, I venture not to far to see the back room door closed covered in a deep red sludge the smell of rot very faint as my nose was frozen closed but I feared to look. Making my way to the front porch to vomit I see the massive creature watching me from a good 50 feet away as the fog lifted somewhat it was very much Bipedal standing up around 13 feet it opens its decaying mouth into a disturbingly Smile it watches me in some perplexing way for amusement or curiosity. I turn to look upon the house when I and The Uncanny Watcher both hear the sounds of laughter coming from deeper into the woods a deep eerie silence fills the woods...

Beneath No Sky: Chronicles of the Atmospheric Sector
After bringing themselves back from the brink of annihilation, humanity's future seemed bleak. However, it's remnants, throwing aside the old order and donning a new mantle of progress aimed to rise above their ancient disputes and go forward as one. Once the Earth reached it's natural limit, and colonies around Terra and Luna had shown promising results, humanity finally decided to make the move to the stars. Believing this to be the start of a new age, they eagerly poured across the solar system and further beyond, greeting what space had to offer with hope and optimism. It was misplaced, however, for humanity's traditional quarrels soon resurfaced and engulfed a now interplanetary empire of many races.As the Earth Empire burned and an intense depression overtook the once optimistic people, some held out hope. They theorized that their problems were born of an inherent sense of home and, in order to rid humanity, now comprising of the Terrans as well as all the other known species of the galaxy, of this burden, decided to move far away from civilized space, into uncharted depths, to start anew. Some 200 years have passed since then, and those hopeful ones have finally found a place to settle on. Firmly planting their flag in paradise, they called this untouched land "Eden" and declared the beginning of a true new age, the age of After Eden.Trouble, however, seemed to still be hounding them, as barely three years after its founding, Eden finds itself at war with a seemingly uncommunicative and uncompromising enemy that far outclasses the odd pirates they were used to facing. A new era of peace, marked by an immediate conflict. Time will tell if Eden, the Grand Experiment, truly is as great as it's supposed to be. ---------------------------------------- This is a sci-fi, character driven, military space drama. Multiple POV protagonists and lots of unnecessary detail. Somewhat psychological. My first work on this website. Cover is AI-generated, cover font is Salvar Font by Salvar on fontspace (https://www.fontspace.com/salvar-font-f42807).
