The Earth Stood Still
On a Warm Day Gosh, the sun is so bright, Abby thought. The sun was blaring, but not scorching her skin because it was autumn. Temperatures were brisk and cool, and the beautiful leaves had been changing and drifting to the ground for a couple of weeks in her New England town, not that she or anyone else noticed.

Don't Call Me... Ever. Top Story - October 2026.
I’ve occasionally played around with the idea of writing a story in dialogue only. Recently, I became aware of a situation that, as wrong as it was, felt right to tell in dialogue format. This is the fictionalized version of that story.

You Win Some, You Lose Some
Coby stared at his cup of tea, like it had done something wrong even though he hadn’t taken a single sip. It was probably good. As usual. It was his favorite flavor of his favorite brand of tea. Coby had plenty of relaxing memories of sipping this tea in the morning while he browsed through the news on his phone.

Out of the Gravity Well
Syl's lungs burned, not from oxygen deprivation, but from the sheer, crushing weight of three gravities pressing her spine flat into the custom-molded carbon-fiber couch. This was nothing like the cinematic, roaring liftoffs of ancient science fiction. There was no shaking windows or fiery, explosive cinematic drama; instead, it was a brutal, mechanical physics equation being executed with cold precision. The falcon-like ascent profile of the heavy-lift shuttle was a calculation of raw thrust overcoming the stubborn curvature of Earth's gravity well, and every single metric Newton of that force was being transferred directly through her rib cage.
