Inferno (Ch. 9)
It's not like I thought it would be here. Actually–it's significantly colder than I imagined. The portal dropped us off in a desert of snow and icy winds. Over there! Four pyramids, each one larger than the one before it. Tilly doesn't even seem to flinch at the butchering winds as we trek forward. I try my best to keep up without complaint.
Sweet NothingsPublished 5 years ago in FuturismTales of Sore: The Keeper of the Kasai-Tamashii
Sore was sitting at the edge of her bed staring out the window towards the direction where her father came back home after work. She impatiently looked back at the clock to check the time. It was two o' clock. Still five hours remained until his return. She sighed heavily, wishing time would just pass a lot quicker. She stared at the doll her grandpa had gifted her yesterday on her seventh birthday. Every year Sore waited for her birthday just to receive the beautiful presents her father would give her. Last year he gave her a necklace which had belonged to her mother. From that day on, Sore had never taken it off. This year her father had said that she would have to wait an extra day to receive her present.

Kaitlyn MauraPublished 5 years ago in FuturismCarrying the Wounds Forward
All of my articles leading up to now have documented my struggles coming to terms with my experiences as an alien contactee and abductee. Making sense of this as a family heritage. Dealing with my emotions as my children become part of this scary fertility program, and learning to cope with my apparent role helping those like me in the future. But this phenomenon goes deeper than these surface issues. These issues are on a mostly conscious level. These things that define me, make me who I am, permeate my being down to my soul.

Since the discovery by the wider fan-base in 1981 that the BBC had been junking episodes of Doctor Who they believed would never be seen again, there have been many attempts to reconstruct these gaps. People have gone to great lengths to recover the episodes themselves, of course, but, with 97 episodes still missing, fans have wanted a way of experiencing these stories as well as all those that exist in the archives. We've had had telesnaps, novelisations, audio releases with linking narration, and even reconstructions bringing a number of these elements together. But, in the past 12 years, we've been seeing more and more of these lost stories be recreated through animation. From Cosgrove Hall's beautifully stark animation of "The Invasion" to Planet 55's almost anime-style animation of "The Reign of Terror," we've seen a variety of styles and a variety of companies attempting to bring these missing episodes to life. Since 2016, BBC Studios have been producing animations themselves, starting with "The Power of the Daleks," and then continuing with the unfinished Tom Baker story Shada. And now, we've reached The Macra Terror, which takes the idea of animating Doctor Who to a whole new level. And now, the big question that Doctor Who fans have is this: what is the future of these animations? Where do we go next?
