Story 39
By Andrew Hawnt
Graham Kelshaw stared
at the bullet hanging in the air and wept. He stepped around it, the
gun still in his hand, staring at the impossible thing. He prodded it
with a finger and it wouldn't budge. This was crazy. He'd pulled the
trigger and waited for the dark, but all that came was silence. The
bullet had stopped on its passage out of

Story 38
By Andrew Hawnt
My skin is partially
burned off now. My core 'feels' the cold against the exposed sections
of my metallic skeleton through the hundreds of receivers planted
throughout my body. My suit, an all-in-one black bodysuit that is

has been damaged. I am no longer invisible.

Story 37
By Andrew Hawnt
Midran had always faced
North. His armour and multi-purpose bladed spear known as the Kelear

The Mist was alive with

Logan and Charlie had
been falling for twenty minutes, but in those minutes of swift

from the loss of Jacob, Alice and Freya, the other three
Dimensioneers, at the hands of the Triumvirate in the

They are my treasures,
and they have been hidden for long enough.
Discarded by life, they
joined my depths at various points over the years, each of them being
drawn by my current into the central abyss at my core.
I was not always like
this. I was just a lake once. Just a mass of dirty water that people
shoved shopping trolleys into

The Passing of Jonathan
Spring
By Andrew Hawnt
Jonathan Spring was
freezing, but he had to endure a little longer.
He had watched the full
moon for hours as it passed across the sky, and had marvelled at the
strange weather conditions that had cast the world in hues of magenta
and deep blues as night conceded to the first slivers of morning.
Jonathan glanced down
at the heap of clothes, his

Story 33By Andrew HawntThe Versus Space was
fully automated. You would arrive on the neutral moon that it had
been built on, checked your vehicle in, signed the waiver and went
inside to kill your enemy. Two vehicles would be in the dock, while
only one would leave. The other, along with the loser's effects,
would be sold off. Two would enter the complex beneath
