    About this ebook

    The perfect relationship without any worries and judgment... okay, sure.

    Erika

    He's perfection. His muscles glisten with sweat in the hot sun and his body beckons for me to touch it. I know I'm his superior in many ways. Our classes are separated, but I want him more than anything.

    His eyes light up when they see me and his smile is genuine. His body does things to me I've only dreamed…

    I can't focus on anything else when I think of those beautiful lips covering my skin. It's impossible.

    When those awful creatures invaded, I nearly lost him. If I had, I wouldn't be standing here. I'd be lost and wrought with sorrow, utterly destroyed. My heart belongs to him no matter where we are...even if it's in the middle of a battlefield.

    Leonard

    Such an intelligent woman would want nothing to do with me, yet here she was rolling her hips against my body. We were one. No one could judge us in this space. My rough hands embraced every inch of her skin and her moans signaled me to push further…

    I just wanted to make her happy, but the world was beginning to fall apart at the seams. We would have to fight through together...or lose each other forever.

      Terraformed Skies

      Chapter One

      Ahusky man with tan skin and sweat on his brow pulled off his shirt and wiped the beads forming on his forehead. He sighed and looked around, admiring the luscious green fields filled with all manner of vegetation. Leaning against his shovel, he looked over at his compadre and pointed up at a ship flying overhead.

      It looks like another shipment of seeds, he commented as he slung his shirt over his shoulder.

      Indeed, said his friend who leaned over to break the long vines keeping the pumpkins attached to the ground.

      Do you need help, Peter? Leonard asked.

      "Not at all, amigo," Peter replied.

      Leonard watched as Peter broke the vine and then seamlessly hoisted the great pumpkin over his shoulder, turning to begin heading towards the greenhouse.

      What are you doing tonight, Leonard? Peter asked while waiting for his friend.

      Raising the axe over his head, Leonard struck the vine and detached the pumpkin in one swift motion, lifting it just as easily as Peter had. The two began walking carefully up the winding path towards the greenhouse where the vegetables would be tested and weighed, then sent to the factories surrounding the field to be distributed.

      Well, I had thought about getting dinner at the café, but now I’m not so sure, Leonard replied.

      Why is that? Peter asked.

      I’m just not feeling terribly social, he responded, adjusting the great pumpkin on his muscular shoulder.

      "I can understand that, amigo. Would you feel better if I went with you?" Peter offered.

      Oh, I’ll be fine. I’ve got some packets at home that need to be eaten, Leonard replied.

      Alright. Just let me know.

      The two walked steadily along the path, admiring the ships hovering overhead that were retreating for the day. In the distance, the sun was setting slowly and casting long shadows over the fields. The moon behind them loomed large in the sky, signaling the oncoming night. Leonard noticed the group of agriculture scientists inside the greenhouse who were bustling about in preparation for shutting down.

      I can’t wait to head home and rest, Leonard thought. I might even skip dinner.

      They reached the edge of the greenhouse and carefully placed the pumpkins in the scale. Leonard entered the weight on the keypad, and pressed his finger in the miniature black box that documented their growth for the day. The keypad displayed a gold star and beeped, congratulating him for a productive day. Leonard smiled and stepped aside to allow Peter to do the same.

      What are we harvesting tomorrow? Leonard asked, wiping his hands on his work pants.

      I think we’re doing another round of pumpkins, Peter replied, tapping the buttons in the keypad.

      "Sounds good, amigo. I’ll see you then," Leonard said while waving.

      Leonard walked around the greenhouse and headed toward the main office, punching the numbers into the digital keypad and clicking on his name. A smiley face appeared on the digital display and wished him a good evening, Leonard offering a small grin in response.

      Good evening, computer, he muttered as he walked through the door.

      Inside, Leonard ran into another co-worked named Donnell who was wrapping his hand with gauze and an ice pack.

      "Good evening, amigo. How did that happen?" Leonard asked, getting a bottle of water from the fridge.

      I must have lifted incorrectly, Donnell explained while holding his hand steady. I really ought to get that serum.

      The extended life serum? It’s certainly worth the price, Leonard explained before taking a sip of water.

      The cool liquid slid down his throat and settled in his stomach, immediately hydrating him.

      I’m just afraid of losing my living wage, Donnell said.

      They’ll debit the cost in installments from few paychecks if that works better for you, Leonard said. You’ll still have half to use for everything else.

      I suppose I should do that, Donnell said with a sigh. Say, did you catch the game this past weekend? It looks like our province is on a winning streak.

      Oh, I didn’t get to watch that. I was working overtime, Leonard replied, adjusting the hat on his head.

      He stared at the fridge as Donnell outlined a play by play of the game, noting how their victory was due to a mistake on the opposing team. Every so often, Leonard nodded to show Donnell he was listening even though he had long since zoned out into his own head. He was tired. The day’s labor had taken a toll on him today. That was odd considering his new found strength and resilience. He had taken the extended life serum six months prior.

      For most field workers, it was recommended, having been tested for four years before finally being released to the public. Leonard was one of the first to give it a try and he had reaped the benefits ever since. He found his own muscles had nearly doubled in size and were capable of handling weight that typically required machines to transport.

      ...and that wasn’t even the greatest goal since 3086 when Flank Fennegan had scored during a triple threat match, said Donnell.

      Leonard raised his eyebrows in Donnell’s direction. Donnell had a wide grin on his face from describing his favorite hockey matches.

      They didn’t even have time to shave the ice. The ground was so uneven that it was near impossible to get a goal, he explained. And yet we won!

      That sounds amazing, Leonard commented, raising the water bottle to his lips again.

      The digital television on the wall announced a province-wide curfew for factory and field workers, explaining that they were doing construction in the Green and Red fields to increase the fertility of the soil.

      What do you know about that? Donnell asked.

      Nothing thus far. My chip hasn’t alerted me of much since I got it put in, Leonard replied.

      Mine just randomly advertises games and products, Donnell explained. I’ve regretted having it implanted ever since.

      They’re useless, Leonard said.

      Well, I wouldn’t say that too loud, Donnell warned while grabbing his bag.
