As The World Drowned Us – Short Story
The waves came suddenly, washing away all the filth and anxiety of mankind. We became so enamored with ourselves that we forgot about the health of the planet and became ignorant of its grievances.

Artifact from Another Universe – Short Story
Status alert: IVR-2 has been found on planet 12-Suicury g. Subatomic string scans and history logs provide the following timeline.
High orbit scans suggest the planet was nonvolatile and non-hostile at the time the bot’s capsule crash landed in a valley on the planet’s surface. Local biological scans revealed that the local fauna discovered the crash site and probed the capsule until they unlocked the cryo-sealed exhaust hatch. A primitive bioluminescent species, the natives managed to access the internal cockpit and drag out the bipedal bot. The natives, themselves bipedal in nature, used their primitive tools and webbed appendages to drag the bot from its capsule and back to their cave hovels Read More

“I got the good stuff. The good stuff that’ll peel your eyelids off and strip away your ego. You’re living in a fog. The world is much more colorful than you think. Lift the veil, man. Lift the veil.” Charly was practically hanging off the toilet bowl, reaching under the stall to jingle the mini-fermentation inhaler.
“I don’t even know who you are!” shouted the man through the wall. His feet were shuffling in anger on the other side. He nearly slapped the inhaler out of Charly’s hand.
“Hey, hey! Don’t try to steal from me! I worked hard for this stuff. I thought we were friends.”
“I don’t know you! I just want to go to the bathroom in peace! Read More

The Void at the End of Time – Short Story
The woman I loved left me. I never thought I’d leave this place. My home. My planet. My time. But I had nothing to sustain me. Forgive me. If anyone sees this, tell your people about me. I just want someone to know who I am. Or who I was, somewhere before the end of time.
She was the one who inspired me to look at life with childlike wonder. We lived together for eight years before she decided she didn’t love me anymore. I was on the verge of losing my job at the Quantum Space facility when I decided to steal the Ark Spacetime Machine and everything with it. It was to be launched into space, with the rest of the molecular samples of Earth, in case of an apocalyptic event — the end times as it were Read More
