It is especially interested in looking at blogs that publish both fiction and poetry.

Part 21

“Moments Lost
Never Known Never Found
Most Lost
Time unbound”

Freddie edited out the far part of the map ahead from his conscious mind. Let the ex-Admiral run with the convoys section on the battle, and let his subconscious monitor. The back end of his brain would soon scream if things turned sour.

His worry was just ahead. Two tough gun ships. The big question was - which was the one really hurt earlier. That had to be the target. It might have been repaired and replenished, but it’s crew would be the most ragged. Most likely to err. It was one of the universals that linked men and Sterateel. When tired - mistakes happen.
There was no telling and the gunboats engines were dropping thrust. They were about to spin and face him. He picked. He pointed and selected.

“All weapons open fire. Maximum coverage”

Maximum coverage meant that the point defences would spray fire at long range, the main guns would aim and fire at maximum output and frequency. Each missile bay would fire on loading and locking. A lot of ordnance was going the way of that one ship. As each gun or tube kicked in reverberations flooded into the Chance. Made the ship shake. Maximum coverage induced moments of pure war song her structure. This time there was no chase, and no dogfight. So far it was an emerging one sided slugging match. Freddie could sit back and hear the tune. He smiled and continued to think ahead.

An Unfortunate Break

This is an apology for this break in the story. I've been caught up in completing the technical side of Shared Creation. This concentration on development has slowed down my writing. This is just a short break. The story will continue and develop. Again my apologies for this small break.
