SciFi-Stories

Venus was the most miserable planet in the system, peopled by miserable excuses for human beings. And somewhere among this conglomeration of boiling protoplasm there was a being unlike the others, a being who walked and talked like the others but who was different--and afraid the difference would be discovered. You'll remember this short story.

He has a chance to make things right, but he's not sure what that means.

A story in the A True History Universe
This is a continuation of the series - there is a prologue, but I recommend reading Books One and Two first. There was a rocket, but the occupant wasn't a baby. A young man (Cal) is the sole survivor of his planet, crash landing in Kansas in 1984. Cal is found by a farmer and his daughter, and learns what it is to be human. NOTE: Any names and/or other similarities between people, living, dead, or fictional are purely coincidental (maybe). Posts every TWO Weeks!

Posting chapters will be every TWO weeks, and one week behind SOL. If you purchased Book One on Bookapy, updated, edited versions in MOBI and EPUB are available. Nothing plot-wise changed, just cleaned up some formatting errors.

I happened to notice that the chapter released today for my second book is about the middle of the story (size or words wise) if you group all three books. If you are enjoying John's tale so far then ... more

I've almost got enough buffer built up to start posting Book Three. I don't have the prologue ready for it yet, so I recommend just going back and re-reading Book One and Two. :) (Maybe even voting fo ... more
