Novel: The Celestion-5 is set to be humanity's first manned ship to Neptune. For such an important journey, you'd think some care would be put into choosing the crew, but no! It was mostly random selection. Half of the crew are rookies fresh out of high school, and the other half are still absurdly young. This group of assorted goofballs will have to band together to survive the journey to Neptune and back. Updates daily at 9:00AM PST (until May 11th!)

Sample:
“Hey kiddo, need directions?”
The kiddo in question froze like a deer in headlights. He scampered off like one, too. The dark-haired boy continued speeding away, his heart beating faster than nine out of ten doctors recommend. He felt bad; that other star ranger probably just wanted to help out a bug-eyed, twitchy, lost weirdo, but the less people who saw him, the better.
Straight ahead, a sign pointed to various terminals. He found his destination to the left and nearly ran down the crowded path, muttering stuttered apologies to every poor soul he inconvenienced.
So this was the spaceport. A crowded, disorienting mess that would’ve sent his anxiety through the roof if it hadn’t already left the stratosphere. He saw himself in the floor’s reflection, fearful, bloodshot eyes pried open by a days-long adrenaline rush. He had to keep running. From his old life, the issues that came from it, and the weakling in the mirror. Maybe the police, too? He didn’t know for sure and didn’t want to stick around long enough to find out.
The Celestion-5 would be his ticket out. It’d give him time to transform into an independent young man his family could actually be proud of. After all, it’d be pretty tough to bring him back home when he’s gone to Neptune!
