alternatehistory fanfic intergalactic moon psifi sciencefiction syfy undead ww2

For @ScienceFiction 's Anniversary Challenge, we had to produce a 10K story.

PROMPT: 'Inhabitants of Earth must take to the stars in order for the human race to survive. To remain would involve certain extinction. Where they go, what they encounter on the way, who and what they find at their destination is entirely up to you!'

For this one I took a nostalgic approach, and went with some World War II alternate history! Ultimately, I tried to pay homage to one of Science Fiction's greats, Phillip K. Dick.

Literary Warning - the narrative contains both American English and English English due to the split setting ;)

PS, I've added some dramatic YouTube audio - earphones, earplugs, and headphones advised - as is a PC/Laptop!

Enjoy ^_^

The Lands of the Rising Sun by SamuelJPitzer

"Mur'ring!" I yelled. "Wake up! Ra'dok got bit by a coyote." Mur'ring sprung to his feet. "Let me see." He inspected the wound with a bad look on his face. "We have to disinfect it." "Yeah okay, whatever just help him he's bleeding out." Mur'ring let go of Ra'dok's leg and turned to me, "you don't have to be an asshole, you asked me," he said. "Help him!" I yelled. Mur'ring walked to the back of the cell and moved a cement block from the wall. He pulled out a bottle of clear liquid. "I was saving this for a special occasion, but given the situation I guess-" "Will you shut the fuck up and help him?!" Mur'ring poured the liquid on the wound. Ra'dok yelled. A guard smacked the door. "Shut the hell up in there!" Mur'ring wrapped some cloth around the wound and Ra'dok stopped bleeding. He let Ra'dok take a few sips of the liquid, which made him gag but sedated him. After a while we all fell asleep. I know it looks like this story is about Japan but it's not. The Lands of the Rising Sun are referring to the East Coast of the United States of America. Set in a post apocalyptic world. Ma'tuk, Ra'dok and Mur'ring are three slaves that share a cell and work in the mining fields. They discover a secret and set in motion a series of events to jailbreak the slaves. The story is told in two parts. The second part follows a team of bounty hunters that find a valuable man and must nurse him back to health. In order to see a doctor they must embark on a mission to gain access to the doctor. This wonderful adventure is very graphic and explores aspects of the mind in terms of spirituality, the human condition and the fate of man.

Soaked Tyrants by A_E_Edmond

This is for a project at school. I wanted to share it to people as well. Though it is a "Man in the High Castle" like story. So, if you are sensitive to those things please consider not reading this, but that is it. Anyway, Simon Frank is on his way home.

THE MAIN EVENT | Book 1 by rainixfreak

It's been exactly a hundred years since a nuclear explosion destroyed the entire earth, making it unable to live on it as the radiation would spread and rise quickly, becoming deadly minute by minute, killing half the lives on earth. Some of us got to survive with the help of the government which built an entire city that would protect everyone from the virus that appeared right after the radiation went away. The city was like a fortress, no one could enter and no one could leave...except the people executed who defied the government rules. But who thought that...together they might witness the end of their world?

Soulless Beauty Aorta by AortaPlatinum

In a future too far for human numbers, on a gigantic biomechanical planet, four souls awake, trapped inside android bodies, and search for the truth they may not want to discover. Sci-fi/Horror/Thriller/Drama R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H G H R H I've been working on this story off and on since about 2017, at the time of this writing, that's six years of inconsistent concepting, drafting, writing, modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, and listening to The Beatles and Nine Inch Nails. This work is very dear to me, I'd go as far as to describe it as my teenage/young adult soul transcribed to text. If you're curious to see how it all came together, check for a bonus chapter at the end showing the making-of, including concept art, early excerpts, and layout notes, as well as YouTube links to the teaser and release trailers.

The Vengeance Trilogy. by StevenBarberWriter

A trilogy of military hard SciFi short stories, each of which stands on its own but is linked to the earlier parts. Part 1 is my attempt at writing what a battle in space might really be like. Part 2 is - well, as a student of military history, I was struck by how some things in the military life have seemed to be constant over the centuries. Part 3 is the result of trying to imagine what an infantry fire-fight might be like in the 22nd century or beyond. How does technology play into it?

Empowered by MelRose518

As the narrator, I'm tempted to simply write "Middle Finger" because that is essentially what you'll feel like I'm giving you in telling this story. However, for the sake of not being a complete dick, I'll write a little more than just a description of a disrespectful gesture. This story can aptly be described as crude and deranged. As you may have surmised, a crazy person will be telling this story, and the characters involved are indeed also all crazy in their own special ways. So, given this exercise in mental illness, the topics touched on (in no particular order) in this tale are destruction, death, superpowered wackos, torture, pain, loneliness, chaos, the will to survive, never giving up, giving up and not giving a shit, the desire to protect, failing to protect and causing more trouble than was already present, disappointing and/or abusive parental figures, bullies, unjust punishments, just punishments, racism, violent and usually superpowered fights, sci-fi gadgets, bitterness, sarcasm, twisted and demented comedy, control or lack thereof, weird and awkward high school drama, lies and brainwashing, alien aggression, moral ambiguity, unhinged villains, fantastical weapons, a piece of shit main character, conditional friendship, a fuck load of musical references, anger, fear, depression, extra-dimensional creatures, godly powers, various esoteric connections, pop culture references, and of course, in general, superpowers.

Hellfire Jones and the Angel Invasion by JMMCNEELY

Humanity is right in the middle of an epic battle between heaven and hell. Standing on the sidelines are the laziest man on earth and the President of the United States who just might be the savior, the antichrist or both. Personally, I think we're all doomed. ------------------------------------------------------- This is my first attempt at the Open Novella Contest where you choose a prompt and write a novella. The prompt I chose: "Heaven and Hell collide once again. The War Demons march to meet the Battle Angels in a struggle for dominance over the Human Realm." I almost chose the prompt which involved taking a cow for a walk, but come on. Battle Angels! Heck yeah. Moo!
