They hunt each other down, of course. One Last Dance: (Steampunk) For seventy years Catarina Bamforth has harboured more guilt than any person should ever have to live with. It is time for her to finally let that guilt go. When Catarina was 24, she was the most elite entertainer the world had ever seen. But she harboured more than one secret. She was also an inventor. And inventor with hopes and dreams bigger than any anyone had ever known. It's on the day that she reveals these secrets, at a ball held in her honour, that Lucas - a cruel and unlikable man - sees her for what she is, and begins to despise the woman who dares to show him up. Join Catarina as she remembers the day that changed her life forever in the short story One Last Dance.

Murder Upon the Last Airship: (Steampunk) Captain Jones is the Captain of the last airship in existence. Times are tough and only the richest the poor being shipped to new lands by the government can board The Pegasus in such trying times. As such, murder upon the airship is not uncommon, though Captain Jones does a good job of keeping his passengers content. Murder is usually the doing of the poor wanting to gain some of the splendor of the rich. Not on this journey though. On this journey, only the elite and highest in stature are aboard, and yet Mr Jameson Crudley is found with a single small stab wound in his neck. Upon his friend's body, Captain Jones finds a gold medallion and is told that this medallion is said to hold the power of life. But such things are reserved for fairy tales and fables right? Not aboard The Pegasus. Fatal Love: (Post-Apocalyptic) A new world? A new order. And new beings. The Voleran's and the Alkaran's have been at war for centuries. But love heals all wounds right? Wrong! Sometimes, love can be fatal. Population Zero: (Dystopic) The Earth fell, but it rose again. Though, it rose under a new rule. A rule which wants to wipe the population out. Will some remain, or will the population become zero? My Mechanical Heart: (Steampunk) Aline is a fairy, but not like any fairy you or I know. She is made entirely from spare parts.
