Sci Fi
Cyber Hunter
Data is everything, that’s the world we live in now. Reality, material, it all became little more than inconvenience. Everyone escapes to immaterial, to zeros and ones. Reality became too much for them, for the average Joe who just wanted to have a good time. Money, food, crime, pain, even death. The basic things that make life became anathema to what people wanted. Now, they found a way to run from it.

The Shipmate
The Shipmate How It Started Being out in space can really make you think about your life choices, when I agreed to this mission I didn’t think that I would end up on an uninhabited planet with a creature helping me to survive until I can find a way home, but here I am. It all started the day my department was visited by the head people in charge of the company, they were looking for volunteers for a secret project that would soon be announced once they had everything in place. They were going around each department looking for people to participate in a series of tests, I was the last one they talked to and everyone else had already said they could not do it, it helps that I was the only one without a family. Both my parents were gone and I was an only child so I was the perfect candidate for the project, however, I still had to complete the test in order to be selected for the project. The tests were relatively easy to do but I was not the only one buzzing through them, there was a man from another department who was also having an easy time with them so I was really nervous about beating him.

Algoria and the Maidens Key
The year is 3025, and the world is controlled by mages and templars who are in a constant battle for control over the people of new Algoria. It wasn’t until late 2026 that the world started to fall apart from madness, corruption, and dominance that the world leaders showed. Through political actions everyone lost their rights as well as the will to live. Oil was lost, gasoline was almost gone and food production was almost forced to stop. An order arose through military power and they called themselves the Templars of Atlas and strangely enough people were given strange powers. The people with powers thought they were chosen to defeat the templars and they called themselves the mages of old. It was said the two battled so hard that the demons below were rattled out of their cages and started to spawn on Earth. Not only did monsters of every size spawned but a disease from above crashed into this world and caused a sickness like no other. The infected were called reapers because they changed into creatures known as zombies and they blindly hunted and fed upon weary travelers on the old open cities. It wasn’t but a century ago that the two rivals joined forces to create Algoria with a council to see over them. Together they backed off the demons and reapers to the outskirts passing the men of old built. Algoria was seen by other villages as a city of paradise.

Midnight Dominion
It was a title that young Simon couldn’t resist. Midnight Dominion: Play or be played. It had just come out in the Synapse store; the premier online marketplace for video games and other indie software. The game was so new to the store, it had no legitimate reviews. Simon knew those were not faked reviews by its developers. He had learned the hard way that rave reviews for a newly released game meant that it was a shiny piece of frag fodder.

To Err is Human.
–Look over there, Lieutenant Highly. That one! What a beauty! The captain motions as the planet emerges into view. I nod, turning my periscope towards the planet below me. I have been guiding this ship through the galaxies for years, but it is always the little earth planet that I enjoy coming back to. The surface shows a bluish-green little planet, which is not very impressive at first glance, but something draws me to it. The captain fiddles with a few buttons on her console and points again to the planet called Earth. Bulleted listings of assignments are lasered onto my duties roster in .002 seconds. The planet’s neighborhoods zoom into view, though I am aware that our invisibility remains.

The Day The Earth Stood Still
It started like any other Autumn day in November, but then it happened.... Everything began to float! "How could this be?", I thought, as I lifted from my chair, but my chair was lifting with me. As I got to the ceiling, so did everything in the room. I looked out the window, my cat, Shadow, went by and headed towards the clouds. She looked at me and meowed, as if to say "What the hell?". She grabbed the edge of the roof with her claws, but was unable to hold on and continued to float off into space. I couldn't imagine what was happening! I turned on the TV after I crawled my way across the ceiling to get to it. Nothing about the news broadcasts looked normal. Everyone was in a panic and trying to let us all know what was going on, even when they weren't completely sure yet. Apparently, the craziest thing imagined had happened....The Earth had stopped turning!!! The Earth's rotation is what causes gravity, so since it had stopped, there was no gravity. Everything that was not anchored into the ground was just floating into space! No one knew why, nor how this could have happened! Nor did they know what to do about it, or if it would begin to rotate again, nor when that might happen. They reported that all of the cars and anyone who wasn't in buildings had just floated away and that their fate was unknown. All airplanes, ships and other mass transit vehicles were unaccounted for. How could this be? I was no scientist, but I knew this wasn't a very good thing at all!! Although, I did enjoy flying through my home by just pushing off from anywhere...that was really fun! Nothing was going to work the way it always had unless something was done about gravity. No one could leave where they were, except the idiots that didn't believe in COVID-19. They didn't believe any of this either, so they just walked out of their homes and floated away. "HA", I thought, "Maybe this is the Earth's way of ridding itself of more than COVID-19, earthquakes, hurricanes and Tsunamis could, all in one fell swoop!" But, where had everything and everyone gone? Would it all come crashing back down, if the Earth's rotation just started back again? What a mess that would be!!
