The sensation of floating was dizzying. Zee’s body ached, especially on his left side. His helmet’s heads-up display was dead, his only visibility now was a small window through his helmet’s shaded visor. His eyes finally began to focus, brain registering the illuminators above him. He began to attempt to rise off the ground, [...]

Finals Suck

Tim — Wed, 05 May 2010 18:04:27 +0000

Ah, finals. Quite possibly the most distressing and mentally exhausting times in a college student’s life. It’s upon us again, and the universe, in all it’s glory, doesn’t seem to want to give us any breaks in such a hectic time. I’m at work, and I feel like my brain’s oozing out my ears from [...]

Busy Busy!

Tim — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 12:51:56 +0000

I know I’ve not updated in several days. As you can see by visiting around here, I’ve been writing some of my story (chapter one is a prior post to this one), I’ve been trooping, I’ve been working, and doing a ton of stuff. I figured I was overdue for a post here, so here I [...]

Chapter 1 – “Zee”

Tim — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:51:05 +0000

Bolts of scarlet hate flew past the wall he was crouching behind. The smell of ozone penetrated his white helmet, invaded his nostrils, swirled in his brain and mixed with the cacophony of sights and sounds and strategies and data that already occupied his thoughts. This was a risky situation: Rebels had barricaded themselves within a building, knowing their fate when their terrorist cell was located, of all places, here on Coruscant – the heart of the Galactic Empire, and his home.

Whew…
