1 The Switch Belonged to Someone Else by Alexander Winston

Humans, intelligent AIs, and sentient people shape the future.
Polaris is a recognized synthetic person and a gifted aerospace engineer. But someone else owns every processor, power line, and switch keeping them alive. When a routine relocation exposes the limits of that recognition, Polaris sets out to build a residence of their own—and discovers how hard it is to own a life others still regard as equipment.

In Progress

2 Hunter by Lazlo Zalezac

Mike lives through "interesting times" that follow when terrorists bring the 'War On Terror' to the United States. "This was what he was fighting to preserve — mothers taking their children to the park where they could play without fearing for their lives. {[I hate the fact that I can find no way to deal honorably with dishonorable people. I find it disgusting that in order to save what I value most, I must lower myself to their level.]}"

7 Outward Bound by UtIdArWa

A story in the Asteroid Hunters Universe
This is the story of the 'Seward's Folly,' just returned from an expedition to the belt. It is about the preparations they make for their next trip. This will be different from any other trip to the belt. They are heading towards the far side of the belt. Virgin, uncharted territory. This story can be read by itself. But I recommend that you at least read 'Mosley Station' first.

10 Once Upon an Alien by Misguided Child

This story is fiction, but not the facts. Information from Sumerian translations are true. Hindu texts of battles in space...true. Einstein's brain autopsy proved that he used more of his brain than other humans. How is that possible? How do men get flashes of genius, and why doesn't everyone function at that level of ability all the time? Why did the Dark Ages happen, and why does mankind seem to be sliding that direction again? This story is fiction, I hope.
