Weekly Contest #337
They cheered the obsolescence of the refrigerator with wonder and abandon. “The day of the spoiled food is over,” one news anchor announced. On a windy, overcast morning, the TeleQuantum Research company demonstrated the power of their new ‘FoodSave’ line of machines. From as small as a rolling cooler to as large as a shipping container, these rectangles demonstrated a world-changing ability: they could prevent food from changing in any way, provided the chamber remained shut and the power on. “We will demonstrate the power of the FoodSav...
Weekly Contest #336
Every possible word would lead to a different life, a different everything. Danville Lorden stood at a crossroads in time and space. Eighteen years ago, he’d nearly bled to death from an aneurysm and woken up with a whole new concept of eternity. Now, at forty, he stood in a room lit by the cobalt glow of dimensional portals. The Interdimensional Transport, or IT, was the culmination of five trillion dollars of multinational government spending.

Weekly Contest #249
Charlie felt like his heart could explode at any moment. Four weeks of exercising every morning at six a.m. hadn’t prepared him for the late arrival of the early train.

Weekly Contest #243
"Hey Ed, did ya hear? They said there's other universes out there." Ed Vigna looked up from his tablet. Rob had been his coworker for years now, and he'd been a huge fan of these science podcasts. Often he annoyed Ed with speculation that seemed like so much philosophical hallucination. "Yeah," Ed replied, trying to keep his eyes from crossing. These scientists and their proclamations made him feel like his mind would overheat. "No," Rob continued. "They say how our universe is mostly antimatter, there's universes out there that are mostly m...
Weekly Contest #241
The nineteen corpses told a tale Tessira hadn’t wanted to hear. Men and women she’d spent the better part of an eighteen-year deployment with had seen their last sunrise. It would’ve made a horrific enough nightmare, but the wound in her side made it real. The jagged piece of laminated ship hull sticking out of her torso screamed its silent tale of hopelessness, as it was all that was left of her only way off this planet. Worse, the enemy certainly heard the explosion that told of her team’s betrayal. When the ship went up in smoke, the on...
