Honor Among Thieves
“Sir, the sailing master says we...um...”
The boy couldn't have been 15 years old yet. The words drained from his mouth, his message forgotten. He had never seen the captain drinking before, no one had.

I can see the blood now, runnin' down a crack in the cement like a little river. It just keeps leaking out from between my fingers. You wouldn't think it would be able to get out of a tiny thirty-eight caliber hole so quick. And now the smoke is starting to sting my eyes.
UnEarthed
The first manned mission to Mars ends up being more than humanity bargained for.
