2938: Escape From Astraeus Station

    She peered around the corner, looking down the corridor. One, two, three....four. Shit. Ducking back out of sight, she brought her hand to rest on the light saber at her side. "Where are you," she hissed in a low tone. The sound of lasers echoed in her earpiece, followed by Altyn snapping at her that they were under heavy fire outside the escape pods. Great. Squaring her shoulders, she unsheathed the saber and peered around the corner again. Seven. Well, this just gets better and better.

    Here goes nothing...

She stepped from her hiding spot, and the armored men turned to look at her, reaching quickly for their weapons. A cry arisen, those with sabers started for her, and the ones with guns opened fire. Tuck and roll. She went down, rolling to dodge bullets, and her shoulders pressed to the floor, using momentum to push herself up, and the saber drew out, the faint blue glow illuminating the hall around her. Slashing at the air, she deflected lasers firing her way, dodging those she missed with a spin, and met her fellow saber-wielders with an echoing crackle, pushing back against one, a leg kicking out to knock another back.

   In her ear, she heard the continued battle for the escape pods, and she fought back harder, stepping back with a twirl of her saber before rushing forward, intent on taking down all in her path. One way or another, she would get to her people so they could all escape.

I....Am A Librarian

“Look, I-I may not be an explorer or-or an adventurer or-or a treasure seeker or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am. I...am a librarian.”–Evelyn Carnahan drunkenly explaining herself to Rick O'Connell., The Mummy

    The last book was shelved, the last spill of a drink someone smuggled in cleaned, and the dust of chips wiped off tables. Finally, she was able to relax. Not that her job was particularly stressful, mind you, not when she enjoyed it as much as she did, but the full silence of the building once the rest of the staff had left was peaceful. It was oddly inviting, really.    

    Dropping the damp cloth in the bin, she rubbed the small of her back and gave way to a wince-inducing stretch before looking around the room. There was a comfort in the dimming light coming through the windows, and the smell of the books and wood of the old building mixing with the fading scent of furniture cleaner. Crossing the room, she sank onto an armchair and reached for a book, settling in to read for a while before she locked up to head home. Running a finger down the page, her lips parted as she read on, mouthing the words to herself as her free hand lifted to push her glasses higher up the bridge of her nose. Mummies, curses, near-apocalyptic chaos...she lost herself in a world that would never occur beyond her imagination.     

    

    A pity, that.... reality was so mundane.

It's been a long, long time since I remembered to blog. With a tiny bit more free time now, I've decided to actually make an effort to post at least once a week, most likely just sharing what I already have in my inventory, and a few extra things here and there.

Of course, we all know I've said this before, and I have been terrible with follow through. We'll see if I can actually keep my word this time.

And now, on to the credits.

To Catch A Potato Thief

So there was a photo challenge issued on Plurk, and it lead a list of people assigned to partner up for a photo shoot together of any theme. These photos, once done, would be placed in the Flickr group, Nigel's Mixed Nuts. I've been so extremely slack on my blog postings for a long, long time now...that I decided I would share my photos here, as well as on Flickr.

For the January round of these challenges, I was fortunate to be paired with someone I've been friends with for a long time, Loki. Now, if you haven't seen Loki's Flickr stream, then you should...because he takes amazing photos. Even if you aren't interested, you should still go look, because Loki deserves the views in honor of the pesky potato attacks I've launched on him, forever. Poor guy.

Also, if you don't look at his Flickr stream, you'll miss his photos from the same shoot, which will undoubtedly be a million times better than mine.

Anywho, on to the photos!
