Wicked Prompts by night-writer2073

This is a collection of short-stories and flash-fiction. Each narrative is complete and independent, and can be read in any order. Although varying in length, they are all relatively short, to present a quick and fun read, while you're on the go. Each one presents a view, theme, or idea to entertain as well as provoke your imagination and critical thinking. The characters are varied and as confused about the ever evolving modern world as the rest of us. They include tales of cyborgs, alien worlds, alternate futures, supernatural transformations, and the spiritual crises and transitions new technologies will demand of our soul. The characters include space nomads, time-traveling detectives, artificial consciousness, and ordinary people grappling with rapid and uncontrollable change. Hope you enjoy!

⋆The Survivors [UNDER CONSTRUCTION]⋆ by LauraTCollins_

In the last few centuries, humans have pushed themselves almost to the brink of extinction with wars, famine, and disease. But we have managed to survive and persevere despite everything that has happened. The year 2147 was a year of hope for us, with the arrival of the Golik, an alien race, who were kind and wanted nothing more than to help us. Alongside the Golik, we had five years of peace and prosperity with them, both races gaining knowledge from the other and building to create a wonderful relationship with the other. After five years of peace and prosperity, then the peace ran out and the invasion began.

Angels and Wormholes by David_Shultz

A star-faring religious cult has created an army of robotic zealots designed to follow holy scripture. As the robotic menace spreads across the galaxy, it takes prisoners to be 'excommunicated': hooked into a neural simulation of eternal torment. Captain Rolland Barron leads the Sol Federation Starship Excalibur on a diplomatic mission. Cassia LaCroix is a wormhole hunter, earning a living scouring the galaxy for valuable tunnels through space-time. Prince Zoojin, a psychic alien from a distant galaxy, must prove himself worthy of the throne of Paxis Prime. The paths of these characters converge as they pursue their own motives, leading them towards the mechanical legion that is sweeping across the galaxy. COVER BY: rentachi AUTHOR'S NOTE: this is an early draft of the novel. I am very grateful for your readership and your feedback, which I have taken into consideration for a major rewrite.

Earthborn by eacomiskey

In the future, no matter where in the solar system they live, everyone vacations on Earth. Sure, the planet is gorgeous, but the real draw is the Earthborn. All other humans are genetically engineered. Earthborn are crafted. They are beings of extraordinary beauty who are physically sustained, not by food alone, but by the pleasure of others. WILLOW has recently earned her stripes as a Peacekeeper. She is inexplicably furloughed to Earth where she learns that Peacekeepers working outside the system are trafficking Earthborn to an advanced alien species. If the quotas are not met, all of humanity will be destroyed. Some Earthborn, suspicious that something nefarious is going on are plotting a rebellion, but they are ignorant of the greater threat. When Willow falls in love with an Earthborn man, she must find a way to save the Earthborn without endangering the rest of humanity. ***Please note, this story was here before. It was taken down for significant revision and now it's back, new and improved. I hope you enjoy it!

But who are they running from?

A Year of Stories by sbspalding

The goal: A new short story, every weekday, for a year. That's about 260 stories, for anyone keeping count. This is Volume #1, covering January and February stories. Inside you'll find a mix of Fantasy, Literary and Science Fiction, occasionally seasoned with a dash of Horror. Every now and again though, I'll share some more experimental stuff. I really hope you enjoy it!
