Past and Present Blessings

I remember many months ago we used to discuss all the things it would be nice to do again— from trips to the mall to movies watched at theaters to meals eaten at restaurants …among so many other things Then we began to look up recipes from Pad See Ew to lasagna to flan gathered the ingredients and worked together for delicacies to savor in the evening …and set up an old projector that connected to a DVD player to cast movies onto a silver screen fashioned from a rugged bedsheet taped to our living room wall

Tale of a Written House (A Choose-Your-Own Ending)

Do you happen to know about that old house deep in those Dark Woods with broken shutters that flap at each stray wind gust like eyes which always creak open a bit as if to see if anyone has at last arrived to seek a place where they might stay even for just a short while? You walk to the end of its short walkway where the house nestles beneath the canopy of intertwined trees. Serrated, amber-hued leaves cover the entire roof.

Fairy Tale Route

Someday I would love to venture along that mystical pathway known as “Fairy Tale Route”— which weaves among foothills and forests deep in Germany to trace the lives of the Brothers Grimm from their birthplace in Hanau off to locations where they preserved fairytales like literary butterflies given havens within the pages of books such as Alsfeld …where “Red Riding Hood” first risked the woods for her grandmother or Bad Wildungen …that saw “Snow White” grace their streets with her lordly father who controlled the mines

Obsidian

When the Maaheseum wore off, Onteia knew she was close to death. Her hair had gone white, her eyes were sunken and glassy, her flesh had receded. Those in her pod were the same: decrepit old men and women, none of them older than twenty-five. Outside, the blueshift had pushed every black hole, every brown dwarf, every burst of cosmic radiation from every pulsar in the Galactic Center into visibility. In hyperspace, even someone who never saw the shining beauty brought out by Maaheseum could see what lay beyond the cursory glance that was their lifelong perspective. The pod was nearing its final destination--the spectacular, unmatched glory

Yurei

On Yurei, there are gulls. Billions of them. They fill the skies from one yellow horizon to the next. Among the mountains of refuse there are people, the last of Yurei’s once great population, who eke out an existence in shanty towns and concrete tunnels with steel gates. They hunt rats and hogs and the occasional amphibian Hi-go, though few of those have survived the transformation of a vibrant planet that had just begun to be colonized by sophisticated terrestrial life to two hundred million square kilometers of landfill. In small areas where they have scrounged enough suitable soil, they grow cabbages, potatoes, carrots, and a hard

Apocalyptic Log

The first person to lay their eyes on the Oort went mad. In those first days, when humanity finally achieved near-light-speed travel, we didn't see any artistry in the stars, any poetry to our endeavors. We saw endless desolation, we saw gamma radiation, we saw black holes swallow up entire star systems, we saw a lot of random radio noise from dying stars and rogue gas giants. With the Oort, we saw one hundred thousand astronomical units of randomly dispersed clumps of ice, silent and nearly motionless in near-total dark. When the first colony was set up in orbit of Proxima Centauri, it was placed on a completely uninhabited ball of rock

Motivation

To the people constantly reminding me that I can't This is neither a sweet talk nor a rant This is a declaration A fact, a revelation Your lack of comprehension Doesn't make my dream a delusion You follow the law and the regulations I follow my beliefs and my intuitions Social conduct created by the powerful according to their notion It's not right it's just a barrier for our imagination Followed by people who want the easy way out Sacrificing their opinion, following the system without a doubt It's my identity, my devotion It's my weapon to stop destruction What you consider a purposeless figure Is my existential motivation

I'd Rather Be Dead

You're always asking me if I had anything worth dying for. I'll pose the opposite to you and ask you this: "Why is it that you find life to be worth living?" Is it so interesting to go through each day feeling anxious? To the point that you feel nauseated enough to collapse. Is it so joyous to spend each night staring at a blank ceiling, Hearing the clock tick on toward morning, And yet you lie awake. Tired, but awake, emotionless, but awake... Do you truly get up each day, facing it with optimism. Or do you look at the news and the state of the world, And genuinely fear for your safety? Now, if it were me that you had asked my de

Thief King

By the twiddling of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes. A demons tale, a shadow lord. The King of Thieves and his deadly horde. A creature of darkness, his wraiths abroad, A simple summon brings forth a God. A defiance of justice, a child of theft. A lover of gold, and a bringer of death. With silver eyes and heavens hair, With a smirk to match, and a deadly glare, Dance, dance, dance 'round village full of death, Swoon to the king with your very. Last. Breath.

Inhuman Resources: Chapter 1

Cloud Computing "You ready?" "Yeah, Dobe," I replied. "Start it up." The portable generator chugged hollowly for a moment before finally rumbling into life, a brief green flicker from the computer bank announcing its success. A curl of exhaust issued forth, and to my nose seemed to fill the whole office block with its petroleum stench. Even this, however, was nothing compared to the sensation that accompanied it; subtle, but far more potent. The computer had not been switched on for some time, and a number of scheduled tasks had accumulated. In my mind's eye, I perceived them, though the screen lay cracked and broken on the floor: toppled

Trust Game

"All right, let's go swing," Nanna said. We'd been sitting at the park near my little sister Cindy's apartment, opening presents for her twenty-second birthday. "Oh my God, I wasn't actually serious about that!" I laughed, though I felt a wistful pang when I thought about those swings, which were rigged so high that they probably violated safety code somehow. I'd been in a wheelchair for four months following a rail platform accident, and although I was well on my way to recovering, attempting to swing, especially on that swingset, probably wouldn't have been the safest bet. "You a chicken?" she teased, smiling. "No, just don't want to bre

Taken in Turns

Green notches recessed into the dial's black face. No buttons or screens disrupted the control panel. One dial – the word 'Off' stood upward and green notches that escorted numbers peeled away down the circumference – just one dial and an instructional box, which proclaimed, 'Turn counter-clockwise.' Tith looked at Mel, his high brow questioned the inert device that consumed half the closet. Mel crossed his arms over his chest and tapped his tricep thoughtfully. It was never easy, he sighed, to understand the machine. Explanation took all of fifteen seconds, but understanding required time and focused thought. Mel cleared h

The Month of October

Hugh Everett's ashes are in the dumpster behind the restaurant I work at. I know because they start moving on Monday. By Tuesday, there is a writhing charred leg and parts of his open torso. Wednesday, he speaks to me for the first time. "What year is it?" "I think you might implode if you knew." "Makes sense. Do you smoke, doll?" I light a cigarette for him, having pulled it with quivering fingers from my apron, and put it in his mouth. He leans up against a garbage bag leaking shake mix and puffs, exhaling clouds. "This is weak. Lady cigarettes." He rips off the filter with his teeth. He only has three fingers on his left hand and hi
