Here's one for the ongoing arc. As promised.
Once the lures were up and running again, clearing the rest of the Incursion was surprisingly simple. We pulled as many antithesis out of the surrounding buildings, exterminated the lot of them, then tightened the perimeter.

Hey all,
As you know I'm trying to figure out exactly what to add to the last two writing slots every week. I've done some initial chapters for a ton of stories over the last year, some have even shown up on Patreon.
Here are a list of the most exciting / most coherent of my story ...

So... Didn't feel like writing the next chapter quite yet, despite what I said earlier. I'm pretty sure part of that is because I need to rework the end of 31 so it doesn't end on such a cliche. I've artificially extended the arc way too much already. It would have been better without all the me...

“Arty what the fuck am I looking at?” I yelled as I dove out of the way of one of the beast’s flailing tentacles.
{Arty: Model Thirteen, a hive protector. It’s much stronger, and more dangerous, than many of the models you’ve faced so far. They’re grown as an extension of...

Hello all!
By now I imagine that most of you have seen my announcement post, and know that I'll be increasing the number of chapters I crank out. One of the things I promised myself while making that post was not to sacrifice quality for quantity, and that got me thinking.
I'd like to...

I stepped out of Skyler’s car into several inches of water. The creek was wide, but quite shallow, which was good, because the trees were so thick that there was no room for us to get out on the bank.
I immediately stepped onto the bank and scanned the area. According to the real...

Hey all! As you've seen, I released a couple chapters off schedule. So what's going on?
The truth is over the last few months, since I started releasing TH, I've been doing an experiment. I set myself a modest goal, and if I met it, I'd try and give writing full time writing a try.

As soon as my projection booth opened, Kass practically jumped on me, pulling me into a tight hug. “You won! I knew you would. How did it feel?”
“Shouldn’t you still be in your booth? The match just ended,” I replied, surprised by her sudden appearance.

“Is it really safe to take a civilian vehicle outside the city to track down a hive?” I asked as Skyler loaded her new drones into the trunk of her car.

Skyler and I were one of the last ones to leave. We followed the pair of girls that had been sitting across the room from us. I was surprised to see the smaller girl didn’t walk, but unfurled an exceptionally long fish-like tail and just swam through the air. That wasn’t something I...

Gonna admit, this one might need another pass. I like the ideas, but I may need to go over the dialog again.

I spent the next fifteen minutes on the examination table filling Leah in on everything that happened, while receiving first aid. I went over everything, from the salvage, to the Antithesis, to the voice in my head.

Stepping onto the pier was a little intimidating. The Redemption was surrounded by a sizable group of Cascadian security officers, led by a handful of people wearing suits. “And you were afraid you wouldn’t fit in,” Skyler whispered to me.

I was jolted awake the next morning by someone knocking on our bedroom door. Loudly and insistently.
“Who is it?” Skyler asked sleepily, as she turned over disturbing Leah who was sleeping on her stomach.

I was honestly a little relieved that there was no one in the ground floor lobby when Sklyer and I pushed our way inside. I didn’t really want to explain why the two of us waltzed in looking the way we did, while carrying enough weapons to level the building. They probably would have set off th...
