Unlikely Tales At Best. Future war. We were brought up on it – whether it be 2000AD or Larry Niven, future war has given writers the opportunity to construct far-out artifact scenarios and readers an easy road to suspension of disbelief : war is madness after all, is it not? This is a short piece on future war, unfortunately manhandling a series of well-worn and existing tropes. I’m sure I had something of the Starship Troopers. So here it is in Creative Commons. Have all future war stories been done?

Unlikely Tales At Best. I have such a strong visual for this piece, but is has been deliberately excluded, and it’s all pure dialogue. What if we had souls and our souls had predators? Why would the universe waste anything? Maybe souliverous insectoids could take that role. And maybe their fathers had issues with the kids just like we do. Now, ‘spring. We’re getting close, not so many steps left to take. Remember. What happens when we get to the Sheen? We stand beside each other, a little apart. Right No...

A Hook, Overheard. | S c r i b l i g
https://scriblig.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/a-hook-overheard
Unlikely Tales At Best. A Hook, Overheard. Fair jewel of dawn! An oasis of unconcern in a desert of parched self-interest. Let me take you there, though some may find the way unpleasant. If we start from here, this pit of a city, and if we go forth through the Ragged Gate we must journey for a matter of twelve turns before we come to the blasted land that marks the the start of the IronWorms domain. It, it is lanced through with skeins of skyparts, flying, bouncing, invading everything. More beer, please.

She nodded as her nostrils flared in fear. He smiled without humor and released her head. You like this, eh? She shook her head vehemently. You don’...

Unlikely Tales At Best. We’re All Really Excited About Johnny. The dangers of virtualization. Wrote this real quick on a plane to SFO. It’s short, thankfully. John Halford, actor, was at his stroppy best when his agent, Mitch, called him and proposed that he level up from video to full-body sensoria productions, where audiences could plug right into the actors perceptions. No There’s no way I’m trying that sensoria crap, Mitch, no frigging way. Where is the room for acting, Mitch? If I fart or pitch a te...

July 23, 2009. Eris did not exist. Before her eyes, her fingers flexed, tools and weapons of another lifetime. The hour had come to disappear; yet she sat in darkness rooted to her swivel chair. Through the polished glass touch-top, she watched the pulsing green status light and resisted the temptation to boot the machine and follow the plan. The Committee thought otherwise, and she was heavily recruited. Yesterday The Chair had signed off on the release. Tonight Eris had discovered the error. Th...Minos...

October 2, 2009. They shouldn’t have expunged her Contract. Clara brushed the final fondant rose onto her Blushing Bride cake and placed it into the light box. The image flashed on a panel and she slid it into the contest bin at FancyFingers. Her garnet earrings were losing ranking and she needed that cake to restore her credibility. With a nice ranking and game credit. She spun in the circle of panels, searching for any identity crises that would keep her out of Contract Ranking. A flash on the right di...
