Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons: Crisis Final Part
Doctor Fawn looked for the umpteenth time at his patient. He was relieved to see that the enormous stress seemed to have eased. The heart rate seemed to have slowed too. When the President had been brought in, it had been pounding fit to burst. He was just about to turn away when patient stirred slightly. That was a good sign. Fawn now knew that the President was in with…
Shot in the Dark (16,17+18)
Chapter 16 Jeff could do nothing but stand there blinking as his mother leant gratefully on Parker’s arm as the faithful servant helped her down from the plane. Luckily, his son had slightly more of his wits about him, and, dropping the bags he had been given, Virgil hurried forward. Taking his grandmother’s arm, he carefully steered the old lady across the hanger and back towards his father. No sooner…
Vodka: Pt 1 (Moonlight and Vodka series)
‘One UFO, Commander. Travelling slowly.’ ‘Exactly how slowly Lieutenant?’ Straker’s hand rubbed the bristles on his jaw. The sixth incursion in twenty-four hours. He wondered if it would end the same way as the other five. In failure. Different approach patterns, different speeds, different directions. There was no consistency to any of the attacks. ‘Speed S.O.L. zero decimal five.’ There was a pause, ‘It’s increased speed ..,’ Another pause, longer…

The Highwayman
Based on the poem. all things UFO belong to someone else. All OC’s are mine, mine, mine … yeah, a little possessive there <laughter> PART ONE I THE wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding— …
The Croath Journals

Identified: Drabbles
1. AnDelenDir The world turned into a merry-go-round, then he was thrown clear of the car and watched it burst into flames. Was that a bloody hand scrabbling uselessly against one of the window-panes? He rolled down the incline, a sharp pain in his wrist as the briefcase was yanked off the chain, and the coppery taste of blood in his mouth. Pain in his chest, the acrid smell of…
Überlebenstraining
Er hakte hinter Fosters Fuß und brachte ihn aus dem Gleichgewicht. Foster krachte auf die Matte, Lew Waterman über ihm. Bevor er reagieren konnte, drückte Lew ihn mit seinem Gewicht auf den Boden und gab ihm keine Chance, sich zu befreien. „Gibst du auf?“ presste Waterman zwischen zusammengebissenen Zähnen hervor. „Ja, ja, lass mich los“, keuchte Foster.
