Review of Twin Peaks: The Return 1.1-2
Twin Peaks was back -- hence also known as Twin Peaks: The Return -- Sunday night with the two first episodes of some new seasons on Showtime. I enjoyed it. But -- well, it's a strange and tough narrative to enjoy.

“So you want to buy my soul?” “Well, lease would be a better term.” Satan was leaning back against my kitchen table, calmly sipping the coffee I had offered him, out of instinct, shortly after he appeared in a flash of sulfuric smoke. I was concentrating very hard on my own cup, a reassuring solid in a world that was so much . . . spongier than it had been five minutes ago.

Before you read the story let me say this, first of all. This (very) short story was written in 1991, way before glittery vampires and soft, plushy werewolves became the fashion. It’s not cuddly and it’s not glittery. It doesn’t have any vampires, but it might have a werewolf. Some might find it a little graphic.
Rewatching... Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones - Part 6
Saturday 13 May 1967 There was an article in the paper yesterday describing how a man had written to Gatwick airport because he was worried about flying in case he got miniaturised. Perhaps it was tongue in cheek, but it suggests that this story must have made more of an impression on the public than I'd imagined.
Nick BrownPublished 7 years ago in FuturismI Love Time Travel, Even Though It’s Impossible
Time travel has been a source of fascination for decades, serving as the central theme in some of our most treasured science fiction stories. But is time travel really possible? Although I’ve recently penned a novel centered on time travel, the truth is I personally don’t believe that it is possible. There are of various opinions, science, and theories circulating around this issue and there are a number of things that seem to negate the possibility of time travel, or at least prove to be quite problematic.

Chapter 2: Miranda watched the stars as they floated in the sky and for a moment she pretended as though she was one of them. Beautiful. Purposeful. Lighting up the sky to guide all of those who were below her. Brightening the paths of the people that had busy lives with no meaning to them. She closed her eyes, relieved not to be one of those people.
Maya SimonePublished 7 years ago in FuturismThe Watertown Nightmare
How It All Started There was a flash of light as the sky exploded into rumbles of thunder one after the other, as the storm brewed with thick dark clouds that shrouded the sky and the sun. The trees along waved in a frenzy as the wind made its entry into the town, taking the leaves with it and rattling the windows. Jamie looked outside and watched as their neighbors hurriedly made their preparations for the oncoming storm. Her brilliant blue eyes kept watching them as they have for hours, unloving.
The Seventh Obsession
"The Forbidden Romance" Darkness and light. What would happen if the two of them became one? Here in the realm of the shadow, beings of unknown forms and sizes are everywhere. Here, the inhabitants can smell weakness and among Death, there are worse things. What means existence to demons means termination to mortals. In the underworld, like in the world of the living, power is everything. You are strongest not because of your size or your roar but in the moment of opportunity when you strike and defend against those who dared to trod on what was sacred. A demon can only have what is sacred, it matters not what it is, his eyes, the horns, the weapon that is a part of him as much as his dark soul. There is nothing more precious than that. That was the truth of it for Elionist and there were no other truths. How wrong he was.
Alex The Inventor-Chapter 12 (Pt.2)
Chapters 1 - 12 can be found at: Deep Sky Stories Chapter 12 (Part 2) The Secret Nobility of Miss Vee... "Dart...oh, Dart", Alex breathed and his heart went out to the poor injured creature. Dart stopped where he was and cocked his head up at Alex as if to say, "I've got a little problem here, do you think you can help me out, kid?"Alex knelt down and patted his ever-present companion on his soccer-ball head which now had a horrible black burn mark slashing up and down on one side and some damage to his right eye. Part of his right foreleg was missing too and his usually bright chrome skin was pock-marked with the black soot of laser burns. The long, elegant rainbow wings had sustained several holes and tears as well and Dart looked like an over-sized moth that had flown too close to a fire. The pounding he took to defend Alex back at his house must have been terrible.

Saturday 6 May 1967 Ok that's three weeks now without Ben and Polly so I'm getting worried. I'm losing confidence in the Doctor; I'm going to buy a Chameleon Tours ticket and look for them myself.

Kit smiled. Her eyes glittered excitedly; while her wide mouth displayed a taught happy mischievous grin, as she looked out of the domed window, towards wild the swirling clouds of Jupiter’s fierce fiery eye.

My Space Opera Series Flawed Gods is the first book in a three-part space opera series. I find that readers often explain far better than the author what the book is about, as everyone’s interests vary.
