“What thinkest thou of the execution?” A chill ran down Reva’s back as she remembered watching the corporal get sucked out the airlock. “It was… unpleasant,” she said, understating her own horror. “Indeed, but ‘twas also necessary,” Gulchina told her. “Mutiny is a disease which must be purged. Every soul which doth not fulfill his… Continue reading Captives in Obscurity — excerpt 6

“Shh! Someone is coming!” Without warning, Reva pulled him back into a passionate embrace. His hands migrated to her hips of their own accord, and as she lifted her chin, he buried his face against her neck. The feminine curves of her body reminded him of how he’d found her: lying naked in a cryochamber,… Continue reading Captives in Obscurity — excerpt 5
