Running with Wolves: The Aurora Chronicles

by Dylan Keefer

Running with Wolves: The Aurora Chronicles (Book 1 of 5)A young girl age twelve embarks on an epic adventure to find answers to all the hidden questions surrounding who she is and how she came to be. She is innocent and selfless in her pursuit for answers and the truth behind her mysterious white hair. Excerpt:Láilá was woken up by the warm arctic sun rays tingling her face. She lied in bed, completely still, for a few seconds before she finally remembered. Today is her twelfth birthday! And she can smell chocolate cake! She ran down the wooden stairs of the little hut to the bottom floor, which was used both as a kitchen and as a living room. The old woman who stood next to the big stove turned towards Láilá with a smile. "Happy birthday, little bunny," she said. "mami, you can really stop calling me little bunny. I'm already twelve. "The old woman smiled. "You will always be my little bunny, little bunny. My treasure. "Láilá laughed. "I know the story, mami. ""We waited for years and years for a child, with no results. We almost lost hope, until-""Until the stork came and brought me along and we were happy ever since. Come on, mami. I'm not a kid anymore. I don't believe in these things. ""Well, since you are not a kid anymore," said the old woman with a cunning twinkle in her eyes, "I suppose you also don't want cake. ""Oh, I do! " cried Láilá. "I do! "At half past nine Láilá's father came back from fishing. The small family lived in the village Nuorgam at the northern part of finnish Lapland, on the bank of Karasjohka river. Axsel, Láilá's father, was a fisherman. He went fishing in the nearby lakes every morning. The mother Arinví, who taught calculus in the local elementary school, took a day off to celebrate with her daughter. "There you are," Aksel kissed his daughter on the forehead as he walked through the door. "Happy birthday, little girl. "The family sat down at the wide wooden table. Arinví, the mother, brought the cake out of the oven and decorated it with twelve candles. "And now, my little bunny, make a wish. . . "

Lost in Space: One lone astronaut One lost space traveler Two ships passing in the night

by Dylan Keefer

Lost in SpaceOne lone astronautOne lost space travelerTwo ships passing in the nightNivea a lone astronaut is forced to make hard choices and has to accept things she would have never imagined to be possible as reality. Meg a lost space traveler from another planet trying to get home. The two happen to cross paths as their ships drift by each other. Excerpt:Never did Nivea truly know quiet until she knew the silence of space. She hadn’t heard another voice in days. At least, she thought it was days. Maybe it had only been hours. Minutes? Maybe she was already going insane. She knew that she would probably be ordered into therapy once she got home. If she got home. She wouldn’t deny that she needed the sessions. She wouldn’t even try to pretend she was okay during the psych evaluation. But she needed to pretend she was okay right now. For her own sake, she needed to pretend she didn’t see that mirage in the corner of her eye. “Imagination to Defiance Labs, Imagination to Defiance Labs…” she said into a microphone. “Please, someone… anyone, speak to me. If someone is listening… I’ve been trying for hours. I see another ship out of the corner of my eye. I keep seeing it. I know it isn’t real. I’m going to die out here. ”“I’m going to die out here,” said a voice. “Hello? Who was that? Dr. Vanes? ”“Hello. Dr. Vanes. ”“Who is there? ” Nivea said, shaking. “Who is theeeer,” said the voice. “Stop it! ” she yelled. “…Stip its…” whispered the voice awkwardly. “Evolisnics. ”Nivea wiped her face. She had started sweating, or maybe she was crying. She had been trained to handle anything that could happen out in space, but it didn’t really prepare her for the real unadulterated fear that came with being totally alone in the cosmos, and hearing another voice. She saw it again. Out of the corner of her eye. That ship. She blinked and it was gone. And then it was back again. It was right in her vision now. She couldn’t deny what she saw. Either it was real? Or she had passed from tiredly desperate hallucinations, to actual insanity. It wasn’t an earth ship. Not like one she’d ever seen before. It had the same basic shape as her shuttle-craft but smaller. It drifted ever closer to her, just as she drifted ever closer to it. The ship was so close to her now, she thought it might hit her. But suddenly a hatch in the ship opened, and out came a person. She couldn’t see their features because they were in a spacesuit of some kind. A thick, dull, purple suit that was protecting them from the lack of atmosphere. Suddenly there was a banging on the side of the shuttle-craft. There was a long pause and then the banging happened again. Nivea didn’t know what to do. If this person needed help, she couldn’t leave them out there. But if they were a threat, and she let them inside, then her doom would be nothing but her own fault. “What are you so afraid of Nivea? ” She asked herself aloud. “That it’s a soul sucking alien? Even if aliens exist, I’m not even out of the galaxy. ”
