Garnet (part 8)
I didn’t realise that I’d drifted off to sleep until I woke from that sticky dryness I’d come to remember as thirst. I tried to exercise some discipline by checking the time before sating myself, but the bulb was still … Continue reading
Garnet (part 7)
I shook my head and slumped forward. Hu’s intransigence made my fatigue that much harder to deal with, and I realised that I’d need to rest sooner rather than later. “Doctor, I really would like you to help me. It’s … Continue reading

Not sure I like where this ends, but it’s midnight so up it goes. — Tam started when the voice rang out, nearly falling backwards off her chair. It rang out a second time, harsh and peremptory, barking out orders … Continue reading
