Beneath the Mask: A sci-fi short story
Breathe in. Breathe out. Erix tried his best to breathe steadily through his mask while a million other thoughts flashed through his mind. Am I walking too much like myself?

Can We Please Have More Soft Sci-fi and Plain Ol’ Fantasy?
I watched Dune for the first time last week (remember how I said I'm late to the party on everything?). Rather than getting me excited for Part 2, it made me think about how hard sci-fi and high fantasy are overrated.

Night Drafts: A flash-fiction story
No. 48/100 flash fiction stories; based on the prompt "what your desk thinks about at night" It's cold in here. And too crowded. And too noisy. How do humans make such loud, obnoxious noises while they're asleep? How can anyone down this whole block get any rest with that cacophony going on? Oh well, it’s not … Continue reading Night Drafts: A flash-fiction story
