I – Starfall“No! Noo! Nooo! Close your eyes, Aaron!” And while a bright flash filled the room, my memory started fading away.
It was a dark and stormy night in the second decade of the Third War of Sephirex Prime. In a rundown motel, a beeper was thrown at the wall, crashing as it hit.

About the author:
I live in a beautiful, old town in Wisconsin. For the last forty years, I have been a programmer, all the time at the same job, but I will be retiring the end of this summer.
I enjoy writing. Besides what I have written for Dual Universe, I have several stories at: https://www.Writing.Com/

I have tried several MMO’s but most of the time, my only interaction with the other players has been an occasional conversation. It is rather surprising to me how much Dual Universe has drawn me into its community, even before there is anything to play.
