Sci Fi
For everyone, with heart.
When the country reformed into the global superpower known as the Global Conglomerate LLC, the prior branches of government were allowed to continue to exist within the United States. Except for the judicial branch, the old government mostly served as a historical reference for tourists. However, executive decisions were primarily decided by the board of trustees, usually based on or around what was currently trending according to top field data analysts.

Betty's Locket
Near dusk, Reverie Miles kneeled before her father’s tombstone and relived her people’s history… The Last War decimated ninety percent of the world population and left most of the planets topsoil stewing in a layer of radioactive contamination that would render the surface uninhabitable for a century. Fortunately for a few G8 countries—particularly the U.S.A.—Deep Under Ground Military Bases provided safe-haven for a percentage of the American population.

Miranda 1
WHY? That was the question looming within and beyond the reflection in the full length mirror which drew the slender, diminutive figure contemplating silently before it. She felt like she was forgetting something important. She considered the date: 19 June 2113, Juneteenth...on Earth, anyway. Based on her own experience, the girl in the mirror had long identified with the oppressed people of color who celebrated their liberation from slavery on that day. There were many people who had treated her disrespectfully, deplorably, even shamefully. It was no surprise that those looking for something to hate or fear about her usually found it in her appearance. She sighed gently as she noted her features one by one: her eyes, sparkling and golden like liquid metal, the perfectly symmetrical, delicately feminine features of her face whose bronze-silver skin made her look like a living sculpture, her mane of long, disheveled, black curly locks, her slight, bony frame clad in a form fitting black jumpsuit, and finally the tag sewn onto the jumpsuit embroidered with her name: Miranda 1.

Who Is Huckleberry Baskin?
"Hey, you're up next", the tall brunette bartender smiled as she said it. Huckleberry Baskin nodded his thanks to the bartender and finished his beer. He felt the energy inside him and knew this was going to be a good show. He really liked the bartender, but could never remember her name right before I show. In fact, he couldn't remember anyone's name right before a show. Hell, sometimes he couldn't even remember his own.
