Striker: a R. A. T. H short story

LotsChrono | psychological | Complete

What are comrades who run on code? What makes an artificial creation designed to fight alive? Taking place before the events of 'R. A. T. H', this is a short story that focuses on the character Shana Striker with a brief glimpse into her past as a Captain within Alos's army. It is best read after having read up to at least the end of chapter 23 of the main story, though chapter 30 is more preferable.

The First Display - A Legendary Moonlight Sculptor Add-on

Bigy Tims | comedy | Complete

This story adds details the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, Volume 1, in which Weed goes to the Lair of Litvartwith the regiment led by Midvale. Yes, I understand it's a really obscure and forgettable moment. It's really short, so please read it before judging it. It's probably best read in conjunction with chapters 6 and 7 of the first volume, since there's a lot of overlap. If you've read this far, then thank you for giving this obscure little thing a chance. TL;DR It's a short story to add details to LMS Vol.1.

Echoes of the Mind's Eye: 13 Speculative Fiction Short Stories

Victor D. Lopez | psychological | Complete

[Synopsis from the book's web pages at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords] This book is a compilation of 13 contemporary science fiction and speculative fiction short stories whose range extends from the innermost dimensions of the mind to the outer reaches of the universe. The stories touch on both timeless and novel themes including philosophical questions as to the meaning of life, the nature of reality, the power of love, the catastrophic consequences of looking for truth in all the wrong places, scientific hubris, and the superlative strength and wrenching weakness of the human spirit. Themes include hard and soft science fiction, horror, humor, romance and literary fiction in both traditional and unusual combinations. Several of the stories in this collection can be classified as "dark fiction" that pose all too disturbingly feasible ways for human beings to destroy themselves through bad decisions--and perhaps even our corner of the universe. But these are tempered with humor and with the hope that springs from humanity's ability to cheat fate through its ingenuity--and, more importantly, to learn from its mistakes. These stories are intended to entertain, but also to leave the reader thinking long after she/he puts down the book.
