Assorted multi-colored cables hung above my head. Nah, I think smart drones are just too expensive for Forward. And a built-in survival mechanism comes for free. It costs too much money to get a really smart computer system, and no one wants to waste that on something that could be blown up. Drones would probably do fine ninety-nine percent of the time, but the one percent would get them. Well, when it comes to Forward, it's always money. You're probably wondering why they don't just use drones. Lots of credits spent on the drive, computer systems and anything that kept the ship flying. So far they had been able to stay on the right and safe side of the razor thin line between things going quite wrong, and spending a decent amount of money on the ship and crew. Forward Horizons, the credit pinching bastards I work for were greedy, not stupid. No, not going there.įine, I'll check out the fireworks, and make sure nothing else blows up in this cheap-ass ship. Then there were the rumors about the Chaison-Glenn expedition. Heard stories of what happened to folks with drive problems, they're lucky if they come back barely living. Most of Severs' time was making sure that the quantum-flux drive kept us in the same universe. Actually, more than a little water, more like a small flood. He would say,”Problems with your porn again? Don't you know that reconners that work for the cheap pricks at Forward Horizons always have a physical stash? That always works if you have light, eyes and idle hands.” The disdain would drip through the comms like a splash of ice water. For a moment, I thought about calling Severs, the engineer, but the image of his tired brown eyes and even more exhausted voice made me consider what I wanted to do. Nooo! Took a look past my half open door to the small shower of orange sparks in the hallway.Īs usual, power junction three was acting up again. The image from my holo-projector flickered then faded to black. T'chara was going to show off her three breasts! I leaned forward, and then something sizzled in the hall.
Hey, maybe they'll enjoy it.įinally, I was going to see what I've been spending hours on my Holo-vid. HOWEVER, I will post my narrations here to show you that I value your submissions and will narrate them as and when I get time!įinally, this isn't necessarily a requirement but if you are narrating someone's story, then you should probably let them know when it's uploaded. If you have a narration you'd like to post, i recommend a sub-reddit called /r/CreepyReadings where you can post. This is a place for stories to be posted. While it's nice to see dope ass short horror stories, single paragraph stories are usually low effort and sacrifice detail. Your story MUST be longer than one paragraph. So title your posts with something like " I got shreked by my grandmother" and if it isn't so true, then post something like " I Saw a scary spooky skeleton in the closet" You must label the stories that you post here with whether they are true or not.
