《MIDDLE GROUND》2
Advertisement
Coming back onto each campus you have to show ID and be signed in by the guard, usually Leonard, at the front gate. State side wasn't as safely guarded. People coming and going all day long for whatever reason: potential student tours, family or friends visiting, an event being hosted by the school, and so on.
Here I had a maid and a full kitchen staff. I would miss them most of all. These people had become my family. The same few people everyday doing my laundry, making my bed, bringing me tea and biscuits, all my meals prepped in the dining hall. Oxford is truly a nerdy girls paradise.
I sighed thinking about how much I'd miss this place.
With my ID ready to go, Leonard stands at the gate for me. It must be near 2am when I greeted him.
"Home safe and sound I see." Tipping his hat to me.
"Have a wonderful nigh-morning? Leonard." Was it AM or PM. Wow I am drunk. I'm glad my feet knew the way.
"What about your friend miss?"
I took a step into the first of 3 locked gates and shivered. It wasn't cold but the temperature dropped as the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and a chill shivered down my spine.
Liv isn't with me...

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
