    Anton pushed the cold handle and the grey door opened with a www.onedoor.ccsqueak. Four students, spaced out two white tiles apart from desk to desk, turned their heads towards him. The buzz of the fluorescent lights overhead filled the brief silence before Anton finally spoke. ‘Is this the… uh, the stylised art classroom?’‘Stylised sample production classroom,’ a student in a white dress shirt said. ‘We don't learn art here.’ Everyone’s eyes fell back to their works in unison. Anton stood at the door for a while, unsure if they were expecting him or if he was intruding their class. But no one said anything...QkCone door

    In the Market for Some Lovin'

    Arndt stepped off the Huroukian hover bus back into the dry, shiftless air of the desert planet and paused to stare at the marketplace before him. He’d been on-planet for two days already, either barricaded in his hotel room, blinds drawn with the AC blasting him full in the face, or lying like a thawing chicken cutlet beneath a beach umbrella, staring out at a placid ocean the same pink color as a digestive aid, and now he’d grown bored enough to venture out to see what else this seaside town might offer.
