Heartburn
Kaden Gibson was an inmate working in the Ceres prison farm, a group of ten satellites housing convicted felons who pay his society’s debt by producing food for the general population of the dwarf planet, the largest astronomical object in the asteroid belt. He was serving a twenty years sentence for larceny after he was found guilty of stealing food to feed his two young orphaned sons. Now he was in a place worlds away from home, his kids were sent into different foster care homes and he would probably never see them again.

Life in the Apocalypse
I didn’t know how it had gotten this far. Just yesterday everything was perfectly fine, but all of that was down the drain now. Nothing was fine anymore.Wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning. The day started out like your normal, average Tuesday would.

Little did I know, a disaster was in the making as I did those insignificant tasks.After all of that, I hopped in my SUV, ready t...
