science-fiction short-story

This little short story was written for an anthology entitled "Words to Music". Each story in the collection was inspired by a randomly chosen song. I was allocated "(I will follow you) Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie. This was the result. I've modified the story very slightly from the version in the anthology.

The Space Spinster (Slow Updates) by DomiSotto

A dutiful, ace soldier from Mars faces a dilemma. She can accept an offer from an infuriating gen-eng man from Venus, grab her loyal cat + dig up her inner rebel and maybe become the first human to explore the Galaxy. OR she can keep flying security on the cruise space ships. Did I mention the man from Venus has an unbearable personality and nearly got her killed on Jupiter? Daaaamn! I got cocky and wrote a space opera, yes, with aliens and fast spaceships. Become a part of the audience so small, it's exclusive! First published: long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Now updates as a lite novel with AI art.

We Dream In Ones and Zeros: An Anthology by MPRCunha

❝ We are the ones who dream in ones and zeros. Do you dare to dream with us? What will you see? Will you like what you see? Or will these dreams turn into nightmares? ❞ A collection of short stories in the science-fiction genre, but with a twist. If you're looking for sci-fi stories told from a different perspective and with a more personal, emotional, intimate touch, then this is the collection for you! If you don't know where to start, then check the synopsis chapter for a brief and (mostly) spoiler-free description of each short story in this collection.

Voyage of the Star Killer by lasce_cale

Space Opera This is the voyage of the StarKiller, a ship of over 5000 lives. Exploration, battles, love, military.... Feedback welcome! Should I break each chapter into episodes and expand on them (essentially, each chapter would become its own book)? With everything going on in 2020, I wanted to portray my own feelings and hurt over the racism, the segregation, the spiritual, emotional, and mental attacks, as well as the physical harm we are causing our fellow man (humanity/mankind/personhood). I began writing this book in 2017. I dreamt it in 2018. I fleshed it out in 2019. And here we are, more than halfway through 2020, and I'm finally putting it out there. TRIGGER WARNING: Briefly discusses instances of abuse, sexual assault, rape, bullying, stalking, etc. Read with forewarning.

SAMENESS by renesmeewolfe

/// SAMENESS, WHAT WE STRIVED FOR SO LONG TO ACHIEVE. BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE DESTINED TO BE DIFFERENT? \\\ Nine months of Hibernation, three months of being awake--that's how the year goes for us. Half of us wake up tired and sore while all of us wake up smelling of either lotion or bleach. But during the nine month period of hibernation, I woke up. And now I know why I always wake up sore and reeking of bleach. ⥀ Humans have always strived for equality, for everyone to be treated equal. We finally reached the point of this harmony, this level of sameness--and everyone is happy. Many, many generations later. But what happens when, in a wold of people knocked down and stood up to be exactly alike, a person wants to be different? What if they're destined to be unique in a world of strict equality? ⥀ #10 in Scifi on 7/21/17 MADE IT TO ROUND 3 IN THE WRITERS OLYMPICS Now available as a paperback and ebook.

ABC kiss me by CharlieClements2

"...I don't want to be with you", I sigh and even though I am crying, they are not tears of sadness, but relief. "What do you mean?". "I DO NOT LOVE YOU AND NEVER WILL!", I cried. "But I want to be with you. I want to have kids. I want to rule the omniverse by your side. I want you". "I'm sorry, but I don't. The voice in my head says no". "You are dumping me based on a voice in your head?". "I am dumping you based on what I believe. You are my best friend and that's all I want". "But babe..." "Don't Babe me. I love you as a friend", I shout. Those words stung like a hot knife through his heart. I turn to the other hunky beast, his eyes hopeful... Trigger warnings Sexual content Coarse language
