2052: An Existential Crisis by Jackrernest

This inflated novella contains three distinct stories that are intertwined with each other. In one story, the world is on the brink of destruction with an asteroid heading for collision. Law and order breaks down and man tries desperately to maintain survival by sending space ships to the stars, hoping to find a new home. In the second story, three friends embark on a crusade to conquer the film industry in Hollywood. They laugh, smoke, and drink, and try to forget their failures. In the third story, a man keeps a diary of his time in a psychiatric hospital. This work of philosophical fiction deals with existential and nihilistic themes.

Testers by Marukosartind

Who would have thought that a planet level threat would bring together a very unlikely group capable of saving the universe. Yeah I know its a cliche, but its a fun one. The universe might feel cold, or it might seem dark, but I like to think that its filled with warmth and light. Just look up and see, whats the first thing you notice in the darkest of nights? The sky is filled with stars. These are that type of short stories.
