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 ^_^

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.
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.

Unfortunately for them, they went too far in their pursuit for world domination when they created a hybrid creature that is mixed between the most superior DNA of an animal, greatest advanced robotics, and hyper improved technologically implanted qualities. Their new creation was far too powerful, far too destructive and insanely evil that it could not be controlled. These hybrids unexpectedly developed a conscious will of their own. They have also unprecedently grown their own unique abilities and powers by expanding to their natural habitat, which make them even more destructive. They are hyperintelligent, indestructible, uncontrollable, unbeatable, and unstoppable. Even worse, they want to be the superior species on earth and destroy all humans that stand in their path! Who is behind this and what is their goal? Are the hybrid super soldiers able to be controlled? Will humanity find a way to destroy them? If not, what will become of the world and humanity? In this thrilling science fiction story written by Alexios Salvador, explore the consequences that immoral and uncapped progression of warfare can have on the world. In this book series, humanity has created a weapon that is way too powerful, extremely destructive, and impossible to control, one with its own will and consciousness, a weapon with a deep hatred for humans. A weapon that wants to eat them for dinner and leave no room for dessert. The decimation has begun.
