Ch. 11 of “Into the Night,” a SilverFlint Space Fic, is up!

Here is a snippet from Ch. 11, The Big Nap: 

Silver stares deeper beyond the hard lines on Flint’s forehead, to the quivering corners of his eyes, to the hint of wetness pooling on his eye lines and infers it has more to do with a form of shame than intimidation.

His smile grows back fond and a little homesick, and he watches Flint’s expression shift from anger to irritated confusion.

“What the fuck are you looking at me like that for?”

Silver sighs away his smile and begins putting tools away into their box. “You remind me of my wife.”

Enjoy a snippet!: 

Silver looks about the cockpit then out to the great bright darkness that encapsulates the Ranger’s windshield. His eyes catch a small blue dot in the lower-left corner of the galaxy and he presses his hands to the glass as if to touch it. “Hello, Grace,” he whispers to Earth with a swallow to drown out his fears of letting her down.

Enjoy an excerpt from the latest chapter: 

John swallows and stares down at his wristwatch, placed carefully in a clear box beside the yoke, ticking down the final seconds.

“Lift-off engaged.”

“I’m coming back,” he whispers, the distant shouts from Grace to stay tethering him back to them as the ship’s thrusters kick off and the force of it pushes him deep into his seat. “I’m coming back to you. I promise.”

“Into The Night” Ch. 5 is Up!

He rubs a quarter between his forefinger and thumb then bites his lip, tosses the coin in the air toward a strip of light, and watches it flip a few times before it glides out of the light and firmly lands atop another pile of dust. He shortly hums then pulls out another coin, sending it flying into the air and watching it once again fall into the dust. He looks down at his palm full of change, eyes twinkling with curiosity.

A hypothesis quickly formulates itself into a theory as he throws the coins out in front of him. He watches with fascination as they systematically move out of the light beams the closer they get to the ground and fall atop the nearest dust rows.

John doesn’t yet know what the lines mean, but he does know one thing for now.

“What’s that? ” He points to a shadowy figure standing behind the bookshelf.

“It’s the ghost,” Grace adds a few more shades of graphite to him until she determines his form is solid enough. “I think he lives behind the bookshelf. That’s where I feel him watching me.”

She puts away her notebook and pencil, then zips up her backpack.

“Is that so? Don’t worry about going back to class,” her father says as he turns the ignition and puts the truck in drive.

Grace looks at him confused but puts her backpack down between her feet. “Why?”

“I got you suspended."

“Into The Night” Ch. 3 Is Up!

“Flint pushes forward in long strides across the catwalk toward the loading bay. He ignores Miranda as she calls out to him from behind the safety of the control room.

The five-minute countdown begins, and time is running out for him to change the course of this mission.

His calves burn as he breaks into a sprint nearing the gargantuan doorway to the Exodus. He closes the distance between the line of astronauts heading into the ship and himself. 12 of the bravest men and women on Earth are setting out for a mission to save all of humanity, to find a new home away from the dying dust here. But Flint did not expect him to be among them...”
