E.P. Grenier

E.P. Grenier was born in Wichita Falls, Texas where he began his life long journey of having to start over and over and over. Hmmm. This may be why he always has difficulty finishing a project, but there is no time to finish that thought. He was born into a military family and after seven different schools in three different countries, you could say he was well-traveled but most importantly he got what most kids never get. A chance to continuously start over. Some might say it is glorious to have a life-long friend, but E.P. wouldn’t. No, he would say that it is much better to keep your distance, just don’t look like your keeping your distance, fly casual if you will.
He is married with four daughters and has plenty of time to write waiting for the bathroom to open up. His passions are fickle, but some constant likes are watching some sports, golfing, gaming, anything Star Wars, spending time with the family, and of course writing. Some constant hates are work or anything physical. His biggest triumph so far besides all that family stuff, blah blah blah, was landing a Cessna 172SP without killing himself or his instructor. Before the landing, the instructor looked a bit pale after E.P. set up for final and turned to him and said, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

Chapter 30

“Earth is angry that we left. We start on diplomatic solutions right away. We either need to convince Earth to let us stay, or let us restock the Legacy with supplies so we can restart our journey. In this case, we would abandon the Stinson all together.”

Chapter 29

Within a few minutes, they had made it to an interrogation room in the detention area Alex had never seen before. Alex thought about his chances of trying to escape, but the two guards looked plenty capable of handling his small frame. One of the guards opened a metal door that led into a small room. Inside, sitting on a chair behind a table, was Captain Grace Deerfield, Legacy’s Security Officer.

Chapter 26

He decided to run his hand across every circuit breaker he could see or feel. It was a long shot, but if some of the circuit breakers were in different locations than he was used to, then it might be possible that there was another breaker that he didn’t know about, and that it might be popped. Sure enough, behind his seat and to the right, his hand felt a breaker that was open. There was no way he would be able to turn his body to check the label to see if it was related to the generator system.

Chapter 25

The scene before them when Hal and Tom arrived was horrific and chaotic. Tom’s emergency response team was already hard at work on the wounded outside the hangar bay. Hal reasoned that these must be the lucky few that made it out of the hangar bay before the emergency bulkheads closed after pressure was lost. The doors were back open now that Keller’s men had sealed the tear, allowing the room to re-pressurize. Hal walked carefully around burnt debris and charred bodies to reach Major Keller, who was talking to a major he didn’t recognize.

Chapter 22

All of a sudden, Alex felt himself being painfully pushed into his seat as the blood rushed away from his head. Even as he felt himself start to lose consciousness, he couldn’t help but open his eyes to witness his inevitable death. This is it, he thought.
