Member-only story
Captain Rooney is a fugitive from justice — having disobeyed a direct order, an act that was all for naught as the order was still carried out. When he is finally about to be caught, he, in desperation, enters the Great Void in space. No one ever comes out of the Void.
And yet, Rooney comes out of the Void, to a universe vastly different from the one he once occupied. He meets Cita, an alluring woman who becomes the pilot of his ship. One job leads to an encounter that they both will not forget.

“Either I’ve been alone to long, or I could swear that I hear footsteps.” Captain Rooney Smith said this to no one in particular, as his quarters were empty. He stared up at the worn ceiling. “Nope, I heard it again.” He sat up with a start, and grabbed his gun, military issue, chrome plated. He moved along the torn up floors toward the bridge of the ship- the ancient USS Commodore, built in the 22nd Century.
He pressed a button and the door to the ship came down, and he stepped outside into a barren wasteland devoid of any life whatsoever. This used to be the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, laid to ruins by years of war and conquest.
