THUB
THUB Mychal blew into the receptor tube ashamed, yet driven with anticipation. His lanky body was quickly decelerated to ped-speed while simultaneously, Out-Phase Gravity-Claws (OPGC) moved him from tube to ground. He stumbled as his feet touched surface, catching his balance against the tube. With a clumsy gait, Mychal stepped forward through the containment doors and pushed out into the THUB.

Alby's Drawings Of Time

Week 119: The Crater of Light
I found the small town of Bryson Ridge in the forests of Appalachia to fit my need for some quiet. The city was too loud and exhaustive. The small town couldn’t have been larger than 1200 people and it lies in a deep valley by a river. It was midnight when I first arrived in the town. Few people were about in the night. I heard a strange humming coming from beyond the town towards a coal mine. The small cafe owner told me they’ve been trying to revamp the coal mines in the valley so they wouldn’t have to rely on tourism to keep the lights on- I don’t think it’s going to work. I needed some peace and quiet to write. I’m glad for the small population of Bryson Ridge: less people to worry about. Once I finish my work, I’ll head back to the city, but there’s something about this town that’s keeping me here. A pull like gravity that would prevent me from leaving even if I wanted.

Evolution of the Egg
The CRISPR sequence ended up useful far beyond biological research labs and disease prevention. The enhancements to living organisms had long been theorised, trialled in low-risk experiment—incremented gradual across decades, ethics policies rewritten with each after rigorous enquiry—but it wasn’t until the fallout that its potential was embraced by the masses. After the bombs fell. When the ozone thinned and holes widened across the globe to make a Swiss cheese of a sky turned orange and perpetually black.

Cascade Failure
New words entered the public lexicon that day. Words that the average person had not read, heard, or even fathomed before. Cascade failure and gamma-ray burst were seen in headlines with antiquated, even Biblical terms like famine and extinction.

Time Barbarians
by: Dennis R. Humphreys Dr. Theodore Schoeffer was considered the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Albert Einstein. He made his first splash, two years after obtaining his master's in physics from Berkley. Since then, in his illustrious twenty years career, he had shaken the world of physics with dozens of papers and three popular books. His thinking was revolutionary. He developed a keen interest in studying space and time adopting Einstein's position that time travel was not possible... but that was by the conventional means dictated by his calculations. The force to move any mass in time or space by bending it required exponentially huge amounts of energy and the forces created for such a feat were so destructive as to tear matter apart, something the human body wouldn't take well to. Still, not trying to bend time and space under the present dictates of the scientific community or duplicating a wormhole, or finding one to enter, or worse yet a black hole that would prove destructive... Dr. Schoeffer felt there might be another way. That project started fifteen years ago and what may have been a lifelong exploration appeared to possibly be coming to an end.
