science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Winter in Korea
When I was a child my mother read to me stories of the future, as I’m sure yours did for you. In them were the most wondrous imaginings that captured my young mind and refused to let it go. If you’re at all like me then you thought that you’d grow up to see flying cars, tubes that zipped you from place to place instead of stuffy buses, and man colonising far flung worlds so unlike our own. Perhaps that could have been, perhaps in some alternate dimension all of those incredible stories came to pass but this is not that place, this is the dimension where humanity lost its place atop the totem pole and from coast to coast, all across this once vibrant planet, the darkness reigns.

Chapters 1 to 3 can be read at: Deep Sky Stories Chapter 4 (Part 1) - Probably Wasn't A Good Idea Alex Faraway's grade seven teacher, Mister Chater, worried. He worried about many things that could happen or might happen, almost every day. It was, perhaps, a symptom of being an over-ambitious person who, despite all his efforts to get ahead through the years, had only managed to land work as an elementary school teacher, and had become stuck in the same place far too long.

ACT ONE YEAR 2075 In February 2017, NASA astrophysicists discovered not one, but seven earth-size planets, all with the possibility of life. Astronomers used the term TRAPPIST-1, named for The Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope in Chile. At the time only three exoplanets were confirmed until the European Southern Observatory’s Telescope Spitzer noticed five additional planets, all orbiting the red dwarf star.

Over 900 Years passed since the election; for over 900 years the Faction has been in power. The Faction was not a good entity to be in power either. The personal identity of each civilian had been stripped down to nothing and replaced with their assignment.

London, 1998. She was Eleanor, and he was Douglas, but neither of them knew the other’s name at that point. They’d only been talking for a small while when the train arrived.
Giacomo LeePublished 7 years ago in FuturismThe Octopus of My Heart
In the first grade I knew something must be wrong. I was obsessed with a ginger haired girl named Gabby. The heartache didn’t go away for the longest time. She was the first girl I imagined naked. Not that a boy of six knew the first thing to do with a naked six year old girl. I couldn’t even form a complete picture, if you know what I mean. My fantasy image of Gabby resembled that of Casper the Friendly Ghost, but with pink skin and red hair. Not having experience with female genitalia at the time, there was nothing down there, in my mind’s eye.
Screaming Metal (Part 017)
If this was indeed Il'on, then it would have been on Shake Hands well before the colonists. It made sense. If it could broadcast over the local radio waves, then it could listen in on them too.

The origins of the Gehunite civilization date back to the mid-1970s, when I wrote a massive swords and sorcery novel called Alura. I was dating a lady name Laura at the time, and she looked a bit like the semi-barbarian princess who starred in the book, so I named it after her. It had nothing to do with Supergirl's mother, though it wouldn't shock me if both originated in the same anagram.
