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”.

1. The Leaving // Ache Earth is still Earth. Still breathing. Still bleeding. Still cracked at the hip and weeping sap like honey-laced pus.

The Price of Admission
The sliding glass door had been painted with the word “Welcome,” but it didn’t open for me. My heart leapt to my throat with the sudden conviction that THF had rejected my application after all. Then I noticed the palm scanner to the right of the door, and the complementary hand washing station beside it. I washed my hands, scanned my right palm, and sighed audibly at the little green light over the scanner.

The Sun of Life. Content Warning.
I had finished maintenance on the teleporter in record time. Yeah, go me. I pumped my fist. My face suddenly flushed at the thought of anyone witnessing my display of outward triumph. Thankfully, people milled about like every other day. Children ran around without care for their concerned parents, the restaurant across the river were cooking their signature noddle dishes, and the birds were perched on the virtual recognition of a tree.

Waking Dream
Lars woke to the sun streaming onto his face. For a while he simply lay in bed, his mattress conforming to his body like a hug, watching the light catch in the crystals of the chandelier above him. The ocean outside was the most vibrant blue. It was another beautiful day.

Pearl Canyon Like You’ve Never Seen It Before
Leo was tired and his neck hurt, thanks to a long, uncomfortable ride on the night train. But, his mood was upbeat. After several dull weeks cooped up at home during his seasonal employment furlough, the circled day on his calendar had finally arrived. Vacation day.

Neurodivergent Utopia. Runner-Up in Tomorrow’s Utopia Challenge.
Janice stabbed her spoon into the all-marshmallow cereal, trying not to scream. “Gooooooood-MORNING Neurotopia!!!!

Cacotopia
No louder than a whisper, a sobbing sound emanates from my brother’s room, a room that had been empty for six years. I am not sure what compels me to open the door, bravery is not something for which I am known. I am a steadfast, compliant person who lives for the future. I play the long game like my mother had, the opposite of my older brother and father.

The Archivist . First Place in Tomorrow’s Utopia Challenge. Top Story - May 2025.
“I need to forget her,” The old man said turning his wedding ring with his thumb like he was tracing the edge of a bruise. She had heard innumerable variations of that sentence, the quiet plea, the calm command. The way his voice cracked, though, the way it lingered on the word “need” made her look up from his chart.

The Memory Sellers
In the year 2147, memories weren’t just personal—they were a commodity. People no longer relied on stories or photographs. Instead, they traded real experiences, edited and refined, and uploaded into a vast neural network called EchoNet. Want to remember your wedding day like it was yesterday? Buy it. Want to feel how it felt to climb Everest? Rent it.

The Observation
I wonder how many of them are looking at pornography. Sitting in a coffee shop during the early afternoon, Bram observed his surroundings carefully. He ordered the simplest of drinks – a black coffee – and sat with his laptop alive in front of him, similarly to the rest of the café-goers. He chose the table in the corner, the best seat in the house for people watching.
