science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Apple Orchard
When Oliver opened his eyes, he saw that it had worked. He had traveled back in time. Oliver stood up and looked around. He saw his reflection in a mirror and noted his clothes has changed from a lab coat and jeans to a pair of slacks and a pastel blue polo. He looked like he belonged here. Once he verified that he was at the airport, he began his mission. He had to find the brown suitcase left by the stairs in terminal B. Oliver glanced at the clock and noted it was 4:02pm. He had 12 minutes before the original person the suitcase was left for arrives to pick it up. He couldn’t let that happen. Doing that would set off a dangerous series of events that would, long story short, start the next world war in 2052.

The Bittersweetness of Pyramid Level Z
“Just tell us what you saw and you can have some cake,” Counselor Connolly repeated. Zygmunt Zysk stared at the slice of chocolate cake on the table between them. “Come on, Zyggy,” she said, using the kind of informal friendliness they used to get you to turn on others, to turn on yourself. “You know full well the whole Pyramid will crumble if we don’t all do our part,” now appealing to his patriotism and sense of civic duty. “Don’t you want some cake?” Zyggy realized this tactic might work. He also realized the cake might be poisoned.

It Was My Cake That Done It
The day the Alien Ambassador arrived on Earth, I was makin’ my hummingbird cake for the seniors in the old folks home on the edge of town. I had my beat-up television nattering away in the corner and was halfway listening to Dr. Phil ‘splain to some folks why teaching their three-year-old how to jaywalk wasn’t the best in mom-and-dad skills. Sheesh. You’da thought the dimmest bulb woulda waited till the kid was six or seven. Especially in a big city like Greensboro. Some of them city folks ain’t got no sense at all.

Forsaken Cites & Phantom Formations
Modern cities aren't what they seem, most are graveyards of hope & dreams, with inspection tear at the seams. Built on gene data corruption. Realms of lies & dereliction. Coastal places face destruction! Earthquakes will reshape our great land. Cities crumble back to the sand. Sol will fulfil it, by my hand! Ice caps will melt, oceans will rise. Coastal cities face their demise. You cannot construct with your lies. Some great cites rich with plenty, will be silent, vacant, empty. No riches plunder or booty. What no one wants you cannot steal. A desolation that’s surreal. Natures God gives you the true deal.

What Happens When You Forget To Carry The One...
Scott Kim walked into the Director's office almost hesitantly, carrying a portfolio and an iPad under one arm. NASA Director Kathryn Garrett was behind her desk, mulling over papers and it took a moment for her to look up over her reading glasses at Kim standing opposite her. She was a no- nonsense administrator known as a stickler for details, and the arrival of her PR attache meant another of a series of figurative brush fires for her to put out. This was not going to be pretty, she thought.

Stone Cats
Okay, so before we start recording, I wanna go over the list some more. We've got... a lot to cover. I almost feel like we should put these things into categories. Smaller annoyances... Sand Grubs and Tiny Biters... shit like that. Smaller than man or man sized... Cerotes, Skinks, Geekos, Sand Hogs. Bigger than human. Stone Cats, Solar Eagles, Sand Snarks, stuff like that. Really big. Bullbears, Chalhuek, that... that big thing in the deep sands that ate all the Sand Snarks. You know what I'm saying?
