Ethertravel report #2, received February 12, 2417.

I, Johnny Tavaros, am an ethertraveler. I went out in one of the early groups in 2416.

I arrived into the world in a confusion of darkness and pressure. Was I not born yet?

I wanted to be born, and then I was. I burst out of what I realized had been an egg. I looked at myself and was surprised to see that I was myself. That is, I was still the human Johnny Tavaros. I arrived in the world fully clothed, in clothes I had owned on Earth. How was this possible?

“I just met your driver, Sebastian. He’s quite a hunk, you lucky girl.”

“I’ve never noticed, Yvonne. He is very helpful and could be described as good looking.”

“Says the girl who he takes home at night.”

“But, Miss Yvonne, he has a chaperone in Max. We’re never alone!”

Here's yet another immigrant from TG Storytime, this one is still ongoing, though. It'll come here in blocks of three chapters every couple weeks (people who aren't an American Idiot like me would call this a "fortnight"). It's a slow change, almost painfully so. At the moment, the whole story is 30,000 words, but that may change depending on how much more I write. The length is still surprising me because I expected it to be 10,000 words at maximum.

Either way, let's begin!

Nikki, part 15

“I shall see you on Tuesday!” Hannah giggles as she drops me off outside my former college. “Give my love to the rest of the ‘Teen Angels’. Oh- and enjoy your long, loooong weekend!”

“Will do!” I laugh, straightening my short skirt and opaque black tights as I step out of the car and stride into the dining hall of the large building. I breathe a sigh of relief that my work is over for another week- not that I don’t still enjoy it, of course, but it IS hard work, and I’m REALLY looking forward to three free days to spend with my friends… Especially Sarah.

Badasses Of the Multiverse: Book 5: Volume 2: Chapter 04

Lee would think that he might get at least on evening's peace. But, no. The girls crash the Deco.

Though, Lee still has a gig to do and that is what he is going to do. Fortunately, the way the lighting is on stage, and with his back turned to the audience, the girls don't realize he is the piano player, entertaining them that evening

The only trick is Lee figuring out how to get out the building and away from them, without the girls discovering he is there.

Then, Lee was walking into one of the strangest situations of his life. And Lee learns there are such beings as alien science fiction and fantasy fans.

Also, there other factors that Lee did not know to take account before. Both good and bad, that Lee will have to handle, one way or another.

For Lee is caught in the rat maze, and now he must workout how to escape before he is captured.
