I discovered a device called a type-writer when I was eight years old. I discovered Science Fiction in the fourth grade. Serious stuff like Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, and The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. I read constantly for years. A recent study suggests that reading fiction strengthens empathy. I'll take it. I wrote my first short story while Isaac Asimov was still alive, inspired by the SciFi magazine he endorsed. I learned about computers from his Science Fiction. I worked at Dis...

Fort Falling: July 2005

http://fortfalling.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html

This is the public log of DeeDee 'dzyjak' Jackson, a fictional character. DeeDee lives and works aboard a space station which orbits Saturn, and sometimes he writes about it. Rick is an ice buster with a scary fondness for explosions, Tech and Intel. I normally wouldn't be friends with a person as military minded as Rick, but he likes me and he scares me. So I figured what the heck, get on with the scary guy and let the rest take care of itself. Posted by Darryl Branning. At 7/30/2005 06:48:00 AM. Everyo...

Comments on a life in orbital decay. I don't remember exactly what Paula and I were discussing (or maybe I don't intend to tell you), but we were in my office. The door was open because Paula doesn't insist as loudly when other people can hear. I'm going to close the door," Paula said. That's probably not a good idea," I said mildly. A ship just docked," I said. "I need to be available.". Ships are docking all the time," she said. This one has never docked here before.". Yes," I said. I asked, frowning.

This is the public log of DeeDee 'dzyjak' Jackson, a fictional character. DeeDee lives and works aboard a space station which orbits Saturn, and sometimes he writes about it. This bulkhead is blood written," Ted said. "My grandfather sixth inscribed 'Time's Test' on this wall himself.". Doug said, caressing the bulkhead softly. "What's that.". We would, of course, like to save as much of our works as possible. That's if we even agree to this radical shift in our environment." Ted said. Ted nodded. "Y...

Fort Falling: August 2005

http://fortfalling.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html

This is the public log of DeeDee 'dzyjak' Jackson, a fictional character. DeeDee lives and works aboard a space station which orbits Saturn, and sometimes he writes about it. I can't sleep. Too much weirdness in my head. I read somewhere that a fundamental rule of existence is that you can't know both how fast something is moving and where it's located at the same time. You can only KNOW the present. Whether this means anything in the context of our lives or not I don't know, but it feels true to me.

Bobby's gonna bust us if we don't set these charges right quick. We're the last ones out.". We're not going anywhere. It's not like Titan Base wants us around. That place is coming apart. And Saturn Station One- Well, I hear they're all crazy. They throw people in oxyfluid main-cores for no reason.". It's a fairy," one of them said.

This is the public log of DeeDee 'dzyjak' Jackson, a fictional character. DeeDee lives and works aboard a space station which orbits Saturn, and sometimes he writes about it. On the rare occasions when Nana had too much alcohol, she liked to share her favorite life lesson. "There's two kinds of facts- absolute and relative. You're born. You die. Gravity sucks. And Sol glows in the dark. Those are absolute. Everything else is relative.". You know where I've been? Apparently, thanks to Paula's human seed p...
