This is a selection of short stories based on the writing prompt "1000", courtesy of the writing contest held by SciKick. Do you like short (like, literally) stories instead of a full-scale novel? You're at the right place! All the short stories in here are limited to 1000 words, so they'll definitely keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire journey. Featured stories include contest winners from SciKick's 1000 contest, as well as entries written by the SciKick members themselves. Cover by @StevenSteel

If nothing else, I hope it inspires you to try your hand at writing Science Fiction if you haven't already.
