Almost three weeks had passed since their last meeting. It was precious time that was slipping through their fingers, for they didn’t know how much of it they had left. Artyom Gromov, the powerful cyborg of Project Lazarus, was on his way south to Elysium. Once he reached the city, he could pose a greater […]
“Do you see this? Do you see what I see?” Yanny asked into the silence of the forest. Ghostly mist billowed over the ground and diffuse bluish light pierced the dense trees surrounding her. The place had changed a lot since her last visit here in cyberspace. The simulation was still nearly perfect. However, she […]
Aksinya leaned contentedly on the pitchfork, wedged the prongs between her rubber boots, and watched the goats feed in the now spotlessly clean barn. Ever since she had accompanied Sergey from Neo Yakutsk to his parents’ house, she could not get enough of these animals. From the first day of their arrival, she had begun […]
The sound of the rain that had just begun to fall on the window panes mingled with the soft murmur of the sea. It was a warm summer day. The salty air wafting in from the beach combined with the heavy sweetness of the floral scent that lingered over the entire yacht promenade. Not far […]
What am I really? This is a question that keeps running through my mind. So far I have not been able to find a satisfactory answer. I know when I was built, with what materials, and for what purpose. My skeleton is made of a metal not found on this planet. They are recycled parts […]

Jessica Smith was lying on the desk, largely unclothed, stretched out in a most unmistakable manner toward Yuri, who was standing naked before her, engaged in passionate labor. Judging by his powerful movements, which made the table […]
“Welcome to POWERS! I am very pleased that you have found time to see me at such an early hour. I hope it wasn’t too inconvenient for you, but it’s always easiest for me to make these appointments at this time of day, before the day’s business really gets going. Please have a seat.” Dr. […]
Two nights had passed since the call to Homicide. The sun was still rising when Ralph turned the ignition key to kill the engine. The next step was to apply the handbrake, which made an almost blood-curdling squeal, underscoring once again the car’s distinctive character, much praised by its driver. Then the old punk opened […]
The Duke’s house was actually an abandoned military bunker. During the colonization period, defense facilities had been built on the outskirts of the city, but as the city expanded, they became obsolete and were converted to other uses. Some of these old bunkers were later taken over by the police, others were converted into department […]
