“Virtual Parenting” by Tim C. Taylor
Cursing the Guardian, Jerrine glanced at the digits counting down the release cycle for airlock CX2. It served no purpose. Nothing she could do would speed up the replacement of argon with nothingness. The other transcendentals used to mock her impatience as irrational, but she clung to every remaining human trait she possessed, thinking it … Continue reading “Virtual Parenting” by Tim C. Taylor
10 Years Ago in Planet… “Stealth” by Andrew G. McCann
That's right, you saw me on "Oprah" and "Donahue." And I'll betcha my last beer you're wondering what kind of chucklehead would've done it. Well, let me explain by telling you that only one word describes the Ultimate Joyride: totally awesome. And that's what it was, a joyride. If it wasn't, you think I'd be … Continue reading 10 Years Ago in Planet… “Stealth” by Andrew G. McCann
“Going Green” by Rachel Dunstan Muller
The boy settled down on the bench under the skydome. The long night was drawing to a close as his father began the story. “Well son, it all started with SKALO, the Society for Kindness to All Living Organisms. SKALO was a group that made your garden-variety vegetarian look positively carnivorous. Not only did its … Continue reading “Going Green” by Rachel Dunstan Muller
10 Years Ago in Planet… “Astrobeast” by Andrew G. McCann
Just before midnight on a Saturday, a young astronomer in Puerto Rico became the first to spot the small object sputtering toward the sun. It came in past Pluto, riding a spark that moved clearly against the millions of hard, bright stars behind it. Within two hours of e-mailing his colleagues at various universities and … Continue reading 10 Years Ago in Planet… “Astrobeast” by Andrew G. McCann
“Love Hungry” by KC Stapleton
All the lights were on inside the little, bright-red Mustang. Even the dome light was cutting through the darkness on either side of the road. She really didn't care that she might be pulled over. For her, at this point, nothing mattered. She told the bear buckled firmly into the seat next to her this … Continue reading “Love Hungry” by KC Stapleton
“The Fall of Leuyoldedd” by Travis Lyon
Author's note: This translation of “The Fall of Leuyoldedd”, also known as “The Second Coming of Skell'aenthid”, represents only parts five, six, and seven of the full tale. The other parts have never been found. "How could I possibly say 'no' to the Queen's Champion?" In response, Sir Leuyoldedd put on his well-known, woman-swooning smile, … Continue reading “The Fall of Leuyoldedd” by Travis Lyon

“Second Chance” by David Murphy
He lay back on the gurney, staring at the lights suspended above him. The bright glare burned his eyes, but he scarcely had the strength to close his weary lids. He was dimly aware of shapes around the edge of his vision, but moving his head was completely out of the question. He concentrated on … Continue reading “Second Chance” by David Murphy
