This was a science fiction concept I had. I’ll have to make sure I have the concept documented around here somewhere.
The volcanoes of Charak Moor explosively spewed forth their fiery essence in the distance. The dark and violent planet seen through the window seemed an appropriate setting for the meeting. Long plumes of […]
This was written as an exercise in writing a complete short story that focused on classical plot structure (exposition, rising action, turning point, falling action, conclusion). Not finished yet, but getting there. There’s a clear protagonist (the main character) and antagonist (the mountain).
