Short Stories

AntiMatters
Robert Moriyama
Al Majius must deal with a tiny little world-threatening problem caused by the secret weapon conjured by the College Masters. And Githros can't help him with this one…

Atraxes the Bold
Sohrab Koohpaima
Atraxes, the bravest of the brave, must risk everything to destroy the Leviathan before it can crush the city and all who dwell within. All he asks is to stand out from the crowd just once before he dies.

Chris Harris

Mark Griswold

Songs of Steam Lungs (Part 1)
D. D. H. Lee
War is hell. But for a Wright or a Smith, learning to listen to the metal could make things a lot easier.

The Day the Leash Gave Way
Trent Zelazny
Little Etchy had it all: a dog to play with, a Mom who would always be there for him. Mind you, Sam McKenna thought it less than ideal that Mom and dog had both been dead for quite some time…

The Man With Two Minds
Donald Sullivan
