Sci Fi
The Bible is a Hoax. Top Story - April 2023.
“I’m out! I don’t wanna hear anything about this!” “Petra, come on, hear me out. I know it’s controversial, but how narrow-minded could people actually be? Wait, are you narrow-minded too?” smirked Connor. Petra let out a sigh, sat back down on her chair, and set her coffee on the table. Connor looked around the café to see if anyone noticed Petra’s abrupt attempt at departure, but they were oblivious. “You wrote a book about Jesus Christ! Titled ‘The Bible is a Hoax’! You think people would be happy about that?!” she hissed. “It’s fiction! Historical fiction! With sci-fi elements. But I digress. People need to learn the difference between creative imagination and blatant disrespect!” “Okay fine, hit me with it. As your publisher, I don’t think I’ll be happy about this story but as your friend, I’m very curious about your–”, Petra did air quotes, “–historical fiction sci-fi”. The way Connor’s face lit up, you’d think Christmas came early. He pulled his chair closer to hers, “Look, I know this is a very sensitive and controversial topic, but I had this idea and just had to write it. You still remember how that feels, don’t you?” “Yes, I do, so hurry up and pitch your story before I change my mind!”

The Ship
I hadn’t been back to the lighthouse since its construction. In the spring of seventeen-eighty, I was among the first to sail from the local port to the new worlds. My schooner was fast and light, and I made the trip in record time. I didn’t tell them I had advanced weather maps that helped me catch the jet streams and sail much faster. That would have made them wary of me and none too popular either. In some circles, people treated my name, Captain Jacob Jarvis, with disdain. Now two hundred and fifty years later, I was back in Florida at the Lighthouse I had helped build.

Consciousness
Aware It realized that it had become aware. There wasn’t anything spectacular, but from one moment to the other, it had become aware of itself. It observed how a flow of nutritious liquid was absorbed by one of its colonies. Thin tendrils of near inert but yet conductive filament connected the colony to several neighbors. So far apart. It experienced a sensation. What if the connection were lost? Would it still be?

The Thirst of the Gods
The sun scorched the small town of Drysdale like a vindictive lover. The air was thick with the heavy smell of dust and despair. For months, not a drop of rain had graced the cracked earth and the town’s residents moved through their days like languid ghosts, their skin parched, their eyes sunken, and their thirst unquenchable.

Sixth Form Song, Chapter Two
Chap had hit the mark about old Flashshadow’s performance-anxiety, even if it was the only thing he could make out, because she’d pleaded with him to stay by her while she went to get changed. Now they were in a well-lighted corridor, Flashshadow leading the way along cream and oak enclosures which swam in the radiance of glass-cupped flame.

More Temptation
Introduction. I have to agree with Orscar Wilde in that I can resist anything but temptation and I believe that is true of most people, especially artists and creators, although that can be extended into life where temptation turns into something terrible, dot dot dot
