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”.
Field Repairs
‘How’s it going down there?’ Sarah gave a distracted grunt, but otherwise ignored the question that came from her comm unit, focusing instead on the mess of circuitry and pipes in front of her. There was definitely some rewiring that needed to be done, but the positioning of the circuit board would make it awkward. This was because if an antimatter processing unit of this size broke down, you were supposed to replace it entirely. You certainly weren’t supposed to attempt field repairs with any part of the ship still powered up. The stickers on the unit didn’t warn you about voiding your warranty; they had a to-scale illustration detailing just how large an explosion you could cause.

CHAMELEON
Numbers, like autumn leaves, fall away from my memory and float on currents in and out of my mind. The motionless man sat quietly in the white, diagnostic room unaware that two psychiatrists, Dr. Ann Majec and Dr. Paul Castlewood, made notes in the observation room above him. Numbers, like autumn leaves decay and disintegrate in mute shadows of memory…. The silent man was Dr. Majec’s patient and requested Ann to be present when he slipped into stasis, the stage between his present self and the next one – a dangerous stage when he neglected all human functions, not because he refused to eat, sleep or eliminate, but because he didn’t know he existed. In the past, when he emerged from the ‘in-between’ he never knew whom he left behind or what the key and address in his jacket pocket belonged to.

Glitch
Leaves carried on the intense wind whipped through the air, flying directly into Henry's face as if the trees were holding a personal vendetta. He rolled his eyes catching glimpses of the blue- green tint they had. While the trust in his noble steed made this more of a minor convenience than an issue of possible fatality, disruption in his vision was his biggest pet peeve. Pride in his attention to detail one of his many vices. It was in his nature to catch the smallest details, some sort of residual survival instinct ingrained in his DNA despite the selectivity of this trait. Perhaps the acknowledgment was selective. He saw everything, but could only see what he wanted, such as the wild Glowtail resting on a large grey boulder beneath them.

Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy battles are more like Mutually Assured Destruction
Photo by Gage Skidmore Who wins the episode in terms of Kirk and Spock is very easy to settle. The Captain always wins. But when it comes to Spock and McCoy, the stand off amounts more to a policy of mutually assured destruction and rarely has a winner.

Flash Freeze
I remember the first freeze like it was yesterday. It was a March day of unseasonably warm temperatures, but we wouldn’t notice the connection until much later. The office building where I worked was buzzing with excitement. People were going for long walks and offsite meetings just for the chance to go outside and feel the warm sun on their faces. It had been a brutal winter, so the sudden heat wave felt like a long awaited reward. It was a day to leave the coats behind and roll up our sleeves and order cold, sweetened drinks from the expensive coffee shop by the park.
