  • Few Elements of Truth and Despair. Miles’s Path!

    In the vast expanse of space, where time stretched like an endless ribbon and gravity was but a distant memory, the army of Control forged ahead under the iron-fisted leadership of Miles. Two hundred and fifty years had passed since they first set out to outmanoeuvre their enemies in the desolate wastes of Terra, and…

  • The Real Origins of Risk-taking!

     I was only 18 when I left my war-torn country of birth and set off towards the wormhole of uncertainty. It was 1998 and former Yugoslavia was in flames. My country, Kosova, was in flames. Milosevic evaporated anything that he could find that had an Albanian name to it and that was war. But it…

    Coin Tosser

    ,

    Shoreditch, London   I did not realise how awful this was. The apparition beforehand, the constant worshipping of the gods of the fortune and success, was marred by an embarrassing scheme of endless gains. I did not realise how much has changed since the last fall; the downturn was bad. It took over five percent…

  • Regular Beats of Heart and Revelation!

    How does he know he feels different to the others!?   He doesn’t. All he has left from the flesh of flesh, is a tiny bit of muscle mass which is attached onto the upper layer of his biceps, and some in his thigh and the bit on the side of his calves, weirdly shaped from…

  • Thirteenth Seminar

    Whatever comes into his mind, Simon spurts it out. Quickly, he becomes detached from the group. He’s uncertain about the next steps and what to say. He stood there, in front of an audience, and wanted to tell a story. But he couldn’t. This was unusual. He thought. This could well be what I had…

  • Salma an Unconscious Bird: The Quantum Root Bias!

    The silence in the Chryst Grove wasn’t merely an absence of sound; it was a presence. A dense, expectant hum vibrated just below human perception, the sound of spacetime itself being patiently interrogated. At its heart, perched impossibly still on the lowest bough of the Great Chryst Tree, slept Salma. A sparrow, yes, but one…

  • Incoming Zilch and Neutrinos Naked!

    It was a virus. No, it wasn’t. Yes, it was. Mary is right to an extend because there was a virus streaming the human life form. But what Liz is interested in is denying it because she knows the virus has spread and that it lives inside of her brain, even worse, it subsidises the…

  • Not Peak Yet, Mr Shortsman!

    Earth, England, 2071   When they entered the British Museum at first, they thought that everything else, surrounding this place was imaginary. These things did not exist, please tell me so, Rita said to her team of scholars. They all laughed. We’re fucking anthroes not technos, brother. Remona said in response. They laughed and shrugged.…

  • The Rise and Fall of the Architecture

    The Mesh Learns to Dream. The climate mesh was no longer merely a filter of photons and moisture; it had become a vast, slow dreamer. Every photon it bent carried a nanoscopic shard of its own dreaming—data-lozenges that, when inhaled with the air, settled on retinas and dissolved into half-remembered futures. Citizens woke tasting colours…

  • PART 2: Not Peak Yet, Mr Shortsman.The Stranger With the Tail!

    Shortsman’s Shedtaker   When Jonah Rhys—Shortsman—entered the museum, he fractured something. Not visibly. Not loudly. But something folded in the moment he arrived. A sense. A thread in the fabric.   His tail flicked, shimmered, glowed at the tip in pulses that almost sang. He smiled like someone who had practiced the gesture a thousand…
