SOTM is back!

“Twenty-Three,” Honee said, backing away slowly, “Put the phone down.”

Twenty-Three had the kitchen phone in her hand and was nervously dialing the police. however, she panicked and dropped it to the floor when ordered to. She was squeaking and mumbling nonsense to herself. The four-armed robot had a large kitchen knife in her hand, and was regarding the strange man before her with cautious fear.…

rocket's red glare....

The colossal strategic, political, and social failure of Operation Cesium left the remaining members of the Mechaniki Dead Man’s legion ordered to scramble and report back to the nearest friendly base as soon as possible. Called the “Black Hour Command,” this order was given to all legions in a time of distress. As refurbished “zombie” robots, they knew that the robots’ military institution cared…

montezuma plans to fight!

A machete hacks through a thicket of leaves. “Bee,” says Montezuma, gazing out at the large structure before them, “What the hell is that?” Montezuma’s flying assistant, who, like the rest of the marooned robots, was alive, but quite battered from being stuck on Earth for so long. The Pyramid was still unflyable, but  repairs were progressing. Monty predicted that they would be off the ground…

a new update of "burnpile"

Thunder cracked. It wasn’t raining outside. I was having a dream, a sort of dream that you have when you’re half awake. I let the dusty black door of my Olds clap shut, kicking up a puff of grit into the air. The sunlight was raining down harshly on my back as my heavy cowboy boots crunched on the gravel beneath my feet. I walked slowly into the dusty mining town, gun in my holster. It was so…

SOTM has returned from summer hiatus! a new Burnpile is coming soon too!

Pursuing a lead out into the countryside, Conan, who by now was used to the ups and downs of espionage, doggedly chased Hamperton and any shred of him. He was a good detective, too. Although he never acknowledged it, the spy’s growing resistance to his medicine gave him a creative edge on his artificial colleagues. Conan was an actor and C0N4N was his role. However, his bipolar disorder hampered…

we're back with a crazy battle!

It was a showdown: a powerful battalion of Mechaniki robots was about to face off with the Royal Republican Army. They had been firing potshots at the stranded units of Profilians before, but they were scattered and emaciated. Now, the Pawns had gathered their forces and were counterattacking. With the Dead Man’s Legion surrounded, Xavier would have to fight to the death and cause as much damage…

I swear, there’s a new update coming soon. Probably getting published tomorrow.   Sorry for being on hiatus for so long.

a different story about a strange man and his girlfriend

i’m sorry for not posting stuff recently.  i could give you a rambling list of reasons why I haven’t posted much here, but that’s not needed. thankfully, a new SOTM entry is almost done and should be up soon. until then I have this: Burnpile. Burnpile is a spinoff writing…thing that I’ve been thinking of. it didn’t really fit in with SOTM because it’s too weird. i’ve never written in 1st person,…

armature brandishes the big red button!

Xavier and Greaser’s group were ordered to push farther into the city, where they reached heavy resistance from the Royal Republican Army, along with fast, guerilla attacks from the Insurrectionists. The Profilians were desperate to keep the capital city of Bonkrood from falling to the robots, who were taking heavy casualties. The buildings around the robots were gray and empty, with random…

we're not taking this sitting down!

The Bruno Military Complex was a small RRA base hidden in the southwestern mountains of the Bonkrood area. It was small and in a state of disrepair, as it had not been consistently used until the invasion. Originally it was meant as an emergency hideout for the monarch of Profilia in case of attack. However, as modern military technology and construction methods became better, the royal palace’s…

a break from the battle

Seventy-One, who was almost impossible to anger, sighed and gripped the thin metal steering wheel of the automobile as it floated down the street.  Nighttime was quickly manifesting itself on the skyline of Bomberg, even though it was still fairly early. Glowing, palatial zeppelins and small spaceships loomed ominously in the clouds, and as the car dipped down an exit ramp into the tightly woven…

a short post

Pavel’s new toy rumbled down the wrecked cobblestone boulevard, carrying him and an arsenal of deadly explosive ordinance towards the inner city. The robot was fully connected to the smoke belching metal behemoth, with full control over the weapons systems and the drivetrain. The inside of the tank was spartan yet functional, with one overhead lamp illuminating the entire fighting compartment. Up…

we're back again. it's been a long week

“Yes,” said Seventy-One, leaning on a table, “She’s…Extremely intelligent. I can’t even keep up with her sometimes. Most of the time, actually.” C0N4N, whom the governor had specifically requested to be his bodyguard, was at his side. C0N4N was the only person at the gathering other than Twenty-Three and S111 that 71 actually liked. Some politicians had gathered in a fancy private room of a…

something very different

Do you remember the night we went to Navy Pier?   It was midnight and nobody was there.   The city was behind us, and all of its complicated things… The buildings crammed together… The white windows… The sound of police cars and ambulances… The darkness shrouded trees illuminated by the full moon…growing in the center of once packed boulevards…   It was all behind us. We stood on the end of the…

summary of a meaty story!

How does a man who works in a delicatessen go from a lunchmeat gladiator to a superpower’s sneakiest spy? The tale of Conan Merriweather, an alien on the distant moon of Sesiqui, is a dice roll tale of courage, cunning, action, multitasking, and uncanny luck. Conan was a young, able-bodied man. He wanted desperately to enlist in the Royal Republican Army, so he could help repel the swarms of…

Currently Strength of a Thousand Men is entering its second year, and a few readers who are first beginning to read it are probably quite confused. The story takes place in a completely independent universe with a completely different set of rules. The main protagonist of the story is Conan. He’s from Profilia, an alien nation on the faraway moon of Sesiqui. He’s a Pawn, a timid breed of…
