"Making History" [permanent link]. A story set just after The Quiet War on a conquered colony world. To the world comes a historian who is given the task of writing up the history of a man (presumed dead) who lead the rebellion. But his task of visiting the defeated people and looking for interviews is complicated by the presence of an attractive woman who may have a hidden agenda on the world.

"The Passenger" [permanent link]. An interesting tale set in a future after a war in space. A salvage team sent to salvage a ship makes an interesting discovery; parts of its life support system are missing and one of its crew is unaccounted for. The solution to the mystery is obvious but the question of how remains and that makes the story interesting.
