An Embrace on the Wooden Porch
"Thank you very much for the ride, Sir. Please keep the change to buy coffee on the road."An incredibly familiar woman's voice broke the tension that had been choking the afternoon air. The passenger door of the black sedan was pulled open slowly.David Vexley exhaled the breath he had been holding in his throat. The tense, stiff muscles of his body slowly relaxed. The grip of his right hand on the handle of the fruit-peeling knife loosened instantly. The small knife fell clattering onto the wooden floorboards of the caravan porch.It was not a secret agent from the remnants of the corporation stepping out of the luxury car. Nor was it an assassin sent to collect his family's lives.The person who stepped down carrying a tote bag filled with food boxes was Elena. His wife had just returned from her job as a convenience store manager in the city center. The shiny black car was merely a premium-class ride-hailing vehicle that happened to pass by on the app because regular transport car
Days Without a Crown
"Dad cut the skin too thick again."Arthur's cheerful voice broke the afternoon silence on the creaking wooden porch. The autumn wind gently blew dry leaves across their front yard.Six months had passed since the Antarctic sky stopped burning their sanity. Time seemed to leap forward, burying the past under a pile of mortal routines. There were no more magnificent glass palaces, no more uniformed servants, and no more cosmic energy shields. They now lived in a very cramped rented caravan on the quiet outskirts of town. The white paint on the caravan's outer walls was peeling in many places, revealing rusty metal decaying from the weather. Their front yard was not a garden filled with rare flowers, but an expanse of hard, dirty, and dusty rocky ground.David Vexley sat leaning back in a worn plastic chair. A sturdy oak walking stick rested against his knee. The man's body, once worshipped like a Greek god's statue, was now covered in thick scars stretching from
Sunrise Over the Ruins
"Everything was truly swallowed by the earth. Disgusting and relieving at the same time."Mei Lin's voice, hoarse from dust and exhaustion, broke the silence of the dawn. The warrior woman sat catching her breath, staring straight down the hill.The long rumble that had been tearing the earth apart finally subsided. Below the hill where the five of them took shelter, the magnificent AgriGen facility had vanished without a trace. There was no more glass tower to be Chancellor Vane's pride. There was no more underground laboratory where Arthur was tortured. All that remained was a giant, gaping crater, swallowing all the corporate concrete, steel, and deadly technology into a black mud that still emitted hot steam.Morning began to break the night on the eastern horizon. The first rays of sunlight pierced the low-hanging grey clouds, illuminating the dew clinging to the tips of the wild grass where they lay helpless.There was no victory music playing from
The Remnants of the Troops
"Hold onto my shoulder tighter, Dave! Do not let go!" Elena screamed.Her voice was almost swallowed by the roar of concrete grinding against concrete. The ceiling of the executive room began to crack lengthwise, dropping chunks of cement and white dust onto the carpet. The floor beneath their feet tilted extremely, as if the entire building were being pulled into the belly of the earth.David Vexley gritted his teeth, forcing his right leg, whose knee was shattered, to take a step. He leaned most of his body weight on Elena. Every movement triggered an incredibly sharp pain from his bullet-riddled stomach. Blood continued to seep out, soaking Elena's waist as she supported him with great difficulty."I am burdening you, El. Leave me," David groaned hoarsely."Shut your mouth, David Vexley! I will not let you die in this place!" Elena retorted with an anger filled with panic. She dragged her husband through the thick smoke beginning to fill the room.
A Father's Trembling Hand
"Die, you Bastard!"Elena's stifled scream broke the suffocating silence inside the executive room. After the brutal and sickening struggle that had just occurred, there were no more words of arrogance from Chancellor Vane's lips. The middle-aged man had bled to death on the carpet. The only remaining sounds in the room were the crackle of fire devouring the remnants of the drone near the glass wall, blending with David Vexley's breathing. The mortal father's breath sounded extremely harsh, rattling from his throat exactly like a broken whistle clogged with thick fluid.In the corner of the room, the security guard who had pinned Elena down earlier was still shocked to see his commander dead with a torn neck. That shock became his fatal weakness.Elena didn't waste a single second. The Mafia Queen, her survival instincts rekindled, grabbed a solid ceramic flower vase lying near the table leg. With her remaining desperate strength, Elena swung the vase and smashe
The Bite of a Wild Dog
The burning heat tore through David Vexley's stomach. Two lead bullets pierced his flesh, mercilessly shredding his intestines. The former ruler of the world coughed up thick black blood into the air, his utterly ruined body finally collapsing beside Arthur's operating chair. His right hand clutched the white carpeted floor, which was now turning into a puddle of deep red. His breathing was short, sounding like a whistle clogged with fluid."Dad! Dad, wake up!" Arthur's hysterical scream filled the room, mixing with the cries of Elena struggling in the arms of the remaining conscious guards.Chancellor Vane did not laugh. He no longer radiated the calm authority of a politician. His aristocratic face morphed into a mask of anger covered in cold sweat. He stepped forward, his expensive leather shoes crunching on broken glass, walking toward David's helplessly sprawled body."You truly are an incredibly hard insect to kill, Miller," Vane hissed, his voice tremblin
