“I don’t know how you found me,” the dinosaurian hissed, pulling out their unusual gun and leveling it at me, “But I won’t allow you to interfere with my experiment!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” I still jumped at the sight of a gun aimed right at me. Habit. “What’s that thing for?” The saurian glanced atContinue reading “Linked”

Overwhelmed
I sat on the sofa in the main room while I sat at my desk in the office, and she stood in the archway between us, deliberately not looking in the direction of the sofa. “This is just too weird,” she muttered to herself. “You’re telling me?” We spoke in chorus, which brought the heelsContinue reading “Overwhelmed”
Zero Point Emissions
“It’s called a what, now?” I still didn’t understand what she’d told me despite the entire knowledge of Ship’s memory banks behind me. “A Zero Room,” Interface dutifully replied, but I could tell that I was annoying her. I’d taken way too many opportunities to demonstrate my ignorance. “And no time exists in there?” IContinue reading “Zero Point Emissions”
Afterwards
I woke up flat on my back staring at a slew of blue swirlie-cues, which turned out to be the ceiling. After that revelation sank in, I took a look around before doing anything else. Nope. It wasn’t all just a freakish nightmare. The weird furniture was still there, as well as the high-tech mushroom,Continue reading “Afterwards”
The End
“Aha!” I burst into the console room, yelling to grab the dinosaur’s attention. He turned away from the console in surprise, immediately leveling his pistol at me, and I voluntarily stopped dead in my tracks. My plan had worked a little too well. “How did you -?” he spluttered before shaking his head violently andContinue reading “The End”
Escapade
I couldn’t do anything, of course, until I escaped from that closet. I tried the door, but the knob wouldn’t turn. “Locked?” I couldn’t believe it. “Really? Who locks a closet? Who even has a lock on their closet?” I turned my back on the offending door and my eyes toward the ceiling to addressContinue reading “Escapade”
Fan Fiction (unedited)
The Doctor swooned in the middle of spinning the spinny gizmo as his entire life flashed in front of him. As he fell, his companion swooped in and caught him under the arm. “Doctor?” she demanded. “What’s wrong?” The Doctor shook his head to clear the cobwebs. “There was… a disturbance… as if… a dozenContinue reading “Fan Fiction (unedited)”
For Want of a Cat (Part 2)
“When you leave here tonight,” she continued, “If you don’t stop at the shelter on the way, you’ll go home to a cold house. Gladys will avoid any contact with you, your children will ignore you, and you will sleep alone in your den again.” The emotionlessly clinical way she said it, as if sheContinue reading “For Want of a Cat (Part 2)”
For Want of a Cat (Part 1)
Professor Gloupe trudged wearily into his office and let the door slam behind him, rattling the window dangerously. He didn’t care if it shattered or not. If it did, it was only following the pattern his life was taking, anyway. His feet scuffed the well-worn rug as he crossed to his desk and dropped intoContinue reading “For Want of a Cat (Part 1)”
