Family Ties – Issue 6 – Relaxation (or Wendy takes a breather)
Zimbabwe is in turmoil again. Emmerson Mnangagwa is just another selfish man who puts his own power and wellbeing before that of his people. Maybe we were naive to believe things could be different.

She should be extremely happy. But maybe Whadgaf can’t be that anymore. Not only had she bested the deranged Agent Red and beat him to the Banned Regions, but she had made some new friends and they are enjoying the levity that they can find within the safe zone of the banned regions. The safe…

Agent Red (Time Trials) – Issue 12 – Single Passenger
Whadgaf loves her ship. She wonders if Frial had rigged it to explode regardless of the outcome of their race; actually, she was sure that he could kill her as long as she occupied the ship, but she had killed every living member of his family, and if he decided to take his revenge, Whadgaf…

Family Ties – Issue 3 – Teamwork (or Wendy gets possessed)
Recent elections in the country of Zimbabwe have brought freedom to the streets, proving that a military coup doesn’t necessarily portend bad things for a populace. I’m knocking on wood as I write this, but there is cause for optimism. There have only been three presidents of Zimbabwe including the current, Emmerson Mnangagwa, since the…
