Last Week’s FFF: Beach Bridge

The Time Keeper Part 1
The Time Keeper Part 2

I ran out into the rain, desperately trying to escape to the image of my father’s affair, and the hurt in my mother’s voice as she found them.

I’d rather be anywhere but here! I screamed inside my head.  I squeezed my eyes tight.

The sound of the rain stopped.  I opened my eyes and found that I was back in the pawn shop.  The lights were off, and the place appeared closed.

I heard the door jingle as a key slid into the lock. Continue reading →

Last Week’s FFF: Eco

Weekend Warrior

They didn’t count on me surviving. Of course, if those fools could do anything right then I wouldn’t be walking through a desert right now. The once green ground is now completely scorched, and I haven’t seen the remains of a building for miles. The only upside is the clouds. Those fallout clouds block out what would otherwise be an intense noon sun.

Someone might ask me, were there any survivors left to ask, why I was headed into the epicenter of the fallout. Continue reading →

Last week’s FFF: Courthouse Edition

Lost in Future Regular

As the ship orbited just outside above the Sterilis’s atmosphere, Jenkins couldn’t help but stare at the beauty of it. Below him there were vast expanses of blue seas and dusty white beaches. Scattered clouds hung in the sky, but they were just wisps and barely obstructed his view.

He couldn’t wait to go down there. Continue reading →

Last Week’s MM: Gone Girl – Movie

I’ve recently been enjoying a genre that seems to be gaining in popularity.  Or maybe there’s just a new abundance of it.  I’m not sure exactly what this genre is called, or if it has a title, but I like to call it Science Fantasy.

Think Ready Player One.  That sort of thing.  A story where you get the fantasy elements made possible by science.  Add a splash of geek (usually) and there ya go: fresh, fun genre.

(That’s not to say that this book is anything like Ready Player One.  It’s not.  Only saying that they share a basis of fantasy made possible by science.)

This story is about a guy who accidentally discovers that life, the world, existence, all of it, is actually just a simulation.  But the story doesn’t go where I’d expect it to.  Usually, in that situation, you find a protagonist depressed about their existence, trying to find out who made them and why, or trying to escape.  Not in this book.  Our main character, Martin, decides to do what we all probably really would do in that situation: get some money.  But, this quickly gets him into trouble, so, of course he does the next rational thing: goes back to the middle ages to live as a wizard.  Continue reading →

Flash Fiction Friday – The Job

assassin, female killer, fiction, flash fiction, read, short story, thriller

Last Week’s FFF: We Are Young

Oregon LDO

Yes, I’m an assassin. There doesn’t tend to be many females in this job. The men that kill are looked at as soldiers in an underground war, or at least action heroes. But the women, well, there must be some tragic origin story there. Shrinks and spectators go-to explanation for my line of work is that I must have suffered some terrible trauma. They assume that I was abused, or witnessed some grizzly crime as a child. But those things didn’t happen. I was never exposed to violence, I wasn’t picked on, and my family, well, they were basically indifferent to my existence. If I had to pinpoint a cause for my specific outlook on life, I’d have to go with that. Continue reading →

Last Week’s FFF: asd

title

They began to gather days ago. Jut a few at first. I suppose that they were the most hungry. But in time, their numbers swelled. There were hundreds now, maybe thousands. And we couldn’t keep them out forever.

I watched from my vantage point as the horde became increasingly rowdy. They pushed, shoved, howled, and were becoming more agitated by the moment.

I envisioned the violence. These were supposed to be humans. People who were once neighbors now vying to get int, willing to do whatever was necessary.   Continue reading →
