Galactic Apocalypse and Dystopia
()
About this ebook
Galactic Apocalypse- When The Shadow threatens the galaxy, President Sunbeam deals with it in the usual way- by feeding his sex addiction while cavorting with a lowly crew of drug smugglers. Together they must survive black market lords, demented scientists, and, finally, face the ultimate enemy. Dystopia- An android named Shane loses his job and, finding himself without direction or meaning, goes on a search for the most unlikely of things- love. This search leads him into a life of sex and crime where he must learn to pimp and hustle until he can afford that which he so dearly desires. Fits snugly into the bizarro fiction genre, whatever that is.
Sonny Meadows

Chapter One
Officer Rylie’s apple pie sat half-finished. Sipping his coffee, he looked up from the sports page and looked around. All sorts of species were in the Ricky Rockets Space Stop, but he made a mental note of the total lack of tentacles. There was a guy with eyes which protruded from his head and a human or two with their wrinkly ears, but not one decent tentacle in the whole place. It was equivalent to being stuck in a cage full of zoo monkeys. He had muttered as much to himself moments before as he had used the public urinal, when there was nobody around to hear him. This backwater space stop in this tentacle-forsaken sector, he thought, was hell to anyone with a basic sense of dignity.
His comm-link scratched with white-noise static. Rylie, Code two nine near moon beta.
Rylie reached down to press the switch. Ten four. On my way.
As he got to his feet he hurriedly put on his helmet. Code two nine meant riot situation. Every cop in the area would be there and he didn’t want to be the last one to arrive. It would look bad. He reached into his pocket and dropped a bill onto the counter.
As he pulled out of the space stop on his space cycle a personal transport whizzed past going way too fast. He sneered. As he pulled into the space lane headed to moon beta he thought to himself that the driver had had no tentacles.
He switched on his warning beacon, flashing blue and red, and zoomed past a lumbering cargo ship.
He had hoped that this would be another relaxing day on the beat. Not much happened around the tip of the third spiral and that was about as much good as Riley could say about the area.
He saw a ship coming the other way. It had a glow and as it approached it became apparent that something was wrong. Rylie peered ahead. The ship raced towards him, veering wildly and on fire. It caromed towards his cycle as it passed. Oh, crap!
Rylie angled upwards, narrowly missing the bulk of the ship and passing through the flames emitting into empty space.
He straightened out his cycle and looked to see the ship retreating into the distance behind him in the rear-view. When he put his eyes back on the space lane he saw more than a dozen ships coming at him. They jostled and bumped each other in total disregard for the rules of safety. If they weren’t aimed straight for him, en masse, he would have taken the time to make a note of at least twenty traffic ordinances they were blatantly violating. A smaller ship got in the way of a larger one, exploding as the larger ship barreled through it.
Rylie slammed the brakes and screamed as ships of every size and color whizzed past. It took a while for him to find the courage to open his eyes again, but, after one last ship had gone by, he did. The Shadow loomed before him, darker than space and without form or reason.
An eerie buzzing sound like skittering insects filled his cockpit... or was it his mind? Rylie screamed out, grabbing his head as madness enveloped him.
We're live in two minutes, people!
, the voice of the production manager cut through the chaos inside studio four. After the attack the galaxy was in a state of confusion and the situation aboard the Spaceship One was no exception. Everywhere people scurried to get things into position for the President's address, jostling and bumping. No! Not that. Replace the background with a gas giant.
Sitting behind the desk President Sunbeam stared at his make-up artist as she applied his foundation. Her focus was fixed on the subtleties of skin complexion, but she was aware of the attention. Back in beauty school there had been a man who came in for the free haircuts. He had looked at her just like that, and she remembered how she had felt like stabbing him in the eye with her scissors. He had been a bus driver with a hairy wart on his cheek, however, and Sunbeam was president and always primly groomed.
The production manager hurried by. Get that planter outta' the way!
Sunbeam said, Make my eyes piercingly blue.
It was his favorite eye color, followed closely by indigo. You have sure hands... that's a sign of confidence.
Her voice quavered, President Sunbeam?
What is it, Jenny?
Will we be overrun by the Shadow?
She felt quite secure in the safety of the Spaceship One, but she wanted Sunbeam to feel for her.
Sunbeam, considering the implications, said nothing for a long moment. Have you ever seen the moon fields of Lovell Six, Jenny?
She shook her head, 'no'.
They're beautiful.
He took her hand in his and held it near his chest. We may be facing the end of reality as we know it...
She shut her eyes. No. Look. Look at me.
She looked and Sunbeam touched her cheek, saying, Can you feel this?
She settled her face into his palm. All we have is this moment.
Twenty seconds 'til air! Positions people!
Jenny pulled herself away and a man pointed a large camera at the President. The production manager counted down to five, then continued silently with his fingers. Sunbeam fixed his collar. 'Four'. Took one last glance at his speech. 'Three'. Cleared his throat. 'Two'.
'One.'
On the bridge of the Space Thunder Albert and Diggs watched the address on screen. Albert lit
