Science Fiction
FATED: Part 1
Fun Fact: I first wrote this story waaay back in 2017 after a conversation with a friend of mine: we were playing the old 'ring game' to find out how many kids we were supposed to have... I came out with only one girl, and, for some reason, felt very insulted by it. After I wrote the story, I was so proud of it I included it in a small, personal book of early short stories to keep on my shelf. I still have that book, by the way, and was so proud of this one that I posted it's (very) rough draft to the Fiction Press account I kept years ago. Extra brownie-points if you can find it there, haha!

A Techno Carol (with Apologies to Charles Dickens) - A Story in Five Parts. Top Story - January 2024.
Part I: “Go to your room!” Dad shouted at him, but it was his mother who was in tears. Jimmy Curtis knew that this was serious when he saw what happened. The presents were being wrapped, and he could have waited in his room…but why bother? His parents knew what he wanted for Christmas, and here it was, Christmas Eve, and they were still getting things ready for the big day. So, why didn’t they get him the system he wanted? Why a stupid-looking 2.0 version of the super Benevolt gaming set? And no extra controllers for it? He had to say something.

Fractured Reality
Dr. Eleanor Harper navigated the hallowed halls of her laboratory, a sanctum pulsating with the energy of scientific revelation. At thirty-five, she carried the weight of intellect in every stride, a woman on the precipice of an uncharted frontier.

Desert Rose
Lily Jones stood on the main hull while her cosmo cartographer, Vespa, piloted the Desert Rose. Lily Jones was the Captain of the Desert Rose and a bounty hunter. The spacecraft served as an orbital base center for her team. However, she needed more than four people and needed to recruit more. The last mission she completed could have gone better, and it took too much of her resources and the lives of people very close to her. Vespa stayed loyal, and for her, Lily needed to stay strong and continue moving forward. This mission needed to succeed. The cash prize to catch an escaped fugitive wanted by the Dione space station was the highest value ever posted in a while. Succeeding was crucial if they wanted to survive traveling in deep space. They were on their way to Enceladus, the sixth-largest moon of Saturn. Life on Enceladus was discovered the year the Earth stood still due to the 2020 pandemic, otherwise known as 0 A.C.E. Then, one hundred years later, intergalactic space travel was possible due to stardust and the vibrational energy of the amethyst crystal from the Pallas asteroid.

Days had passed since Joe returned from the realm of his subconsciousness, re-enacting The Four Heroes’ epochal journey from Boston to Nottingham in a manner brought wholly up to date with his present circumstances. That notwithstanding, and for all that he and his companions this time had been spread out across two spaceships traversing half the galaxy, the resemblances could not but feel timely to Joe when waiting for him at his destination was a multitude of Mini-Flashes and other sentient beings to whom that original pilgrimage meant something.
