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”.
Raza Cosmica
Eliana moved carefully through the narrow streets of San Francisco. This was the part of the city where, at the oldest layer, adobe buildings began to give way to wooden structures. Some were Japanese, others Russian, and still others fantastically carved with images that told the sacred stories of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tshimshian clans which had built them. Surprisingly many remained, but they now filled in the crevices between the grey factories and the even greyer housing projects which the state had built to house those who worked there. Even here, so far from Tenochtitlan, the hand of the tlaoni was omnipresent, working ever since the victory of Raza Cosmica fifty years ago in 1821 to match the strength of the United States and now the Confederacy.

Haptic
Part 1: Kendric The sun shines through the classroom window, reflecting off the corner desk and casting a thin strip of light down her neck. I’m surprised that the desk can create a reflection at all, given how seldom it’s cleaned; Bishop High has never been a mecca for quality janitorial talent. I shouldn’t be staring, but I feel like I can’t help myself. Jasmine, a girl like her, has never given me a second thought.

The Ebban Journal: Pristine
Ebban’s boots touched Earth’s ground at 19:26 solar time and auto-adjusted for the change in gravity. Nueva Earth’s resurfacing was supposed to have begun by now, but the Leveling Day explosion had rocked the core of Earth, made it uninhabitable, and delayed reconstruction.

Gate Guardian Synopsis
Aidan awakens on his 16th birthday after a vivid and disconcerting recurring dream, an omen of the day to come. The dream gets more detailed throughout the story as Aidan develops. After scrambling in the dark to prepare for the day, he sees in his peripheral vision the three caretakers of the orphanage where he lives. Two of them look zoned out, but are actually using “the device”, an implant that allows people to access the internet through their minds. What is stranger to Aidan is that the third caretaker, the leader of the three, Madison (or is it Mallory?) is on a laptop. She sits rigid at attention, so Aidan ducks out as quickly as he can.

The Time Traveler’s Apprentice
I warned her from day one that she would forever have a target on her back. The enemies in their high towers would spare no expenses in discovering who did it. Eventually they would find out. They always find out. I told her when that happens, it would be her they come after instead.

High- Rise
She had been a pawn in their game. She got what she wanted, what she needed really, but at what cost? Angrily she threw the leather black notebook in her hand at the back of Jasper's head but his reflexes were spot on as he grabbed the book from the air right before it made contact with his fiery red hair.

A Ghost within the Pages
I escaped to the graveyard any chance I could get, finding more comfort amongst the dead. It was the only quiet place left. The only place without the holograms blocking the view of the few decaying trees. The only place the H.A.I. didn’t come.
