Hello, an' welcome to my little thread.. Here, I am going to turn rambling, mostly incoherant thoughts into a rich and interesting story filled with action, romance, intrigue, and perhaps an eerily accurate look at future affairs for our mottley race using a proccess called, "pulling things out of my butt." 
Enjoy!

| | | Or, y'know, for the use of short-stories. Whatever floats my boat. Really, it's more an excersize in creative hubris that will eventually be deleted. Erm, anyways! Lets get on with it!

| | | For Just a Moment
Echoes of every type bounced and whispered along the vaulted ceiling, here sounds from every source were gathered and sent here at the Altar of Ka'Ar'Resh, and it was here that a being not native knelt before the obsidian dais. His solitude was absolute, there being no one to talk to on the entirety of the planet but for the soulless diode stare of a few remaining service automata who were only concerned in his physical needs and nothing more.
How long had it been, he wondered, since the crash? Regretting the thought as the inevitable flood of unpleasant memories forced itself on his mind's eye, his imagination filled with smoke, floating body parts and various undulating masses of fluid clinging to a EVA suit visor long since shattered on an escape pod bulkhead, his wife's scream crackling over the helmet radio more real to him now than the high-pitched keen of the mating pair of amphibious avians enjoying each other's company outside of the ancient temple... his reverie breaking to find warm tears rolling down his face. Surprised at the silent sorrow, he blunk once and then twice, picking himself up at the echoing sounds of heavy metallic footsteps, his brow knitting with a frown as he mentally cursed the various pieces of implanted technology letting his teriplast servants know about his various states of being while at the same time cursing himself for succumbing to such a state counterproductive in solving the mysteries of his newly found home.
(More to come when I feel like it.)

| | | I think that "Just for a moment" would be better than "For just a moment".
It just sounds better in my opinion... |

| | I must say that that reminds me of Star Wars.
It's very good, I'm not sure if "blunk" is a word though.  |

I thought Etherial's story kind of remind me of some fantasy game set in some sort of fantasy world like that of Dungeons & Dragons or Baldur's Gate (I've heard of weird names from those games before so I'm making a guess here ) except that its mixed with sci-fi elements in it.
And by the way, there is no such word as 'blunk.' It should be 'blinked.'

| | | Well, if you read some of the Star Wars novels you'll notice that they're quite similar. |

| | Etherial: You did not indicate if you wanted this thread to be story-only, so I am allowing the discussion to continue within this thread (so long as it stays on-topic). I’d like to point out, though, that some writers prefer a clean story thread with another separate thread for discussion.
As for the word “blunk,” I think its brilliant and intend to use it in conversation every chance I get.
