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”.
The Grandfather Paradox
Jay was struggling. Not living on the street kind of struggling, but almost. He’s 35, today, too old to move back in with his parents, if he even had any. Rent in arrears, bills overdue, payday still another week away and a landlord constantly breathing down his neck.

Time, and time again
A million stars spiralled into a molten core. It was blinding, yet beautiful. Like an intricate spider-web, all light gathered into an atomised embrace; a singularity. He’d seen it more times than he dared to imagine; drifting down the zipwire of light into the centre and watched the same technicolour explosion a thousand times over. Here, he was God. This was his realm. This was his life’s work.

Blood of Solomon: Awakening pt 3
Lex Back at the Lab, Lexington Mace is thoroughly enjoying the new samples Officer Moors pointed out from the crime scene. This is where he truly thrived.

The Mark of Cain
Glaciers form as layers of snow pile on top of each other from season to season. Each layer differs in chemistry. As the years pass the buried layers of snow compress under the immense weight of the countless snow layers above them. This makes the once light semi pure fluffy snow into a cold dense layer of ice. Particulates and dissolved chemicals that were captured by the falling snow act like memories as they become trapped in the ice. Our job as glacial geologists is to drill down through those layers of time and retrieve those memories in the form of a cylindrical sample referred to as an ice core. We can view all the layers from this sample and piece together quite a lot about the past including when the ice formed, the climate at the time, the accumulation of snow, the atmosphere’s chemical composition, solar activity, and even volcanic activity…

The Astronaut
The alluring light of a nearby star captivated both man and machine. The astronaut and his companion looked on from the flight deck of their small spacecraft. They looked on as prominences reacted to each other across the sun, setting off radiant explosions of energy. The craft sat well outside the reach of any radioactive debris from the solar flare event. From this safe distance, the chaos of nature could be appreciated. As the solar arches danced beautifully before them, the astronaut opted to delay the craft’s launch time until the eruptions ceased.

The Fascinating Fortune
Jeremy was cycling around his neighborhood one day, as he usually did. Suddenly, he felt a little bump on his bike, as he cycled past. He turned around and noticed something underneath a bunch of leaves on the ground, behind him. He brushed the leaves away to reveal a slightly damp and musty old little black book on the ground and decided to pick it up and open it. Inside was an address, nothing more. He thought it best to return it to its owners, so he decided to look up how to get there and cycled over. He came across a very old and rickety, but extremely fancy looking mansion, draped in black. He walked up to the large towering doors and knocked on it. Suddenly the doors creaked open and an elderly man greeted him.

ANUNNAKI
What if I told you that all of humanity is living with amnesia, that they have forgotten their origins and roots. What if I told you that there is a society that spends huge amounts of money and time to continue to keep humanity in that particular amnesia. To keep us in constant ignorance and a semi-conscious state just to be passive consumers who unconsciously serve the system and do not ask any questions.
