Thread title's a lie. There's just one story I wrote a while ago. Important things to know: it's sci-fi and long enough that no one'll read it.

Relevant link: Lament's Contrition

What site is that? Haha. Anyway, I have no idea why it's smaller than you'd think it be - maybe no fancy figures like ya might find in a lab write up.

Houses is just like a plotless intro to the setting (it was more of a prototype and people've told me it's kinda boring 'cause there's no plot to it, so I didn't include it).

And inb4 you find this too, there's a 3rd story there called The Golden Valkyrie: The Forge of Hate that's incomplete (and sadly, I haven't worked on it in over a year now).

I fail at documents I guess >.<

Glancing through all this, they're all part of the same universe? I'm getting more curious as to how everything fits together. Houses felt almost like an intro of sorts, and I noticed all three share some buzz words (at least, what I've seen at a glance). Just how long has this been uh, in your head? :P

[StyxNStones]

Yeah, it's the same universe. Houses is a sort of intro. Forge of Hate's a sort of prequel to Lament's Contrition.

The universe is, in a rough sense, an adaptation of some stuff in my imagination that can probably be traced back to when I was like 8 or 9.

And how must we be disappointed, when we learn, that this connexion, tie, or energy lies merely in ourselves, and is nothing but that determination of the mind, which is acquired by custom, and causes us to make a transition from an object to its usual attendant, and from the impression of one to the lively idea of the other?
....
Most fortunately it happens, that since reason is incapable of dispelling these clouds, nature herself suffices to that purpose, and cures me of this philosophical melancholy and delirium, either by relaxing this bent of mind, or by some avocation, and lively impression of my senses, which obliterate all these chimeras. I dine, I play a game of backgammon, I converse, and am merry with my friends; and when after three or four hours’ amusement, I would return to these speculations, they appear so cold, and strained, and ridiculous, that I cannot find in my heart to enter into them any farther.

Sorry, but sometimes really, really bad writing makes for a better story.

Spoiler

DOOM: Repercussions of Evil

John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons.
"This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!"
So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons
"I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the demons" he shouted
The radio said "No, John. You are the demons"
And then John was a zombie.
