Ma would be scared. Furious. Crying.But her little Jhilmil was not washed away in the monsoon. No, when the rain had been to hard to run, the girl had taken refuge in an already toppled mud brick house, its dislodged, rusty metal roof too rusted to salvage, but barely keeping a dry nook inside for… Continue reading

A Lack of Progress
“Corruption.” It was such a nice, compact word as presented. A perfect ideal, and being swayed from it.आचरण was less so. ācaraṇa was somthing to be maintained. That required effort. Perfect conduct was not a foundation to build a world on – you can’t expect another man to be better than you could possibly be.… Continue reading

In Memory of a Universe
In truth, there is hardly anything that can effect the orbital duration of a planet. Moons can slow – lengthen – it’s day. But nothing less that a planet can change its course. Her Imperious Condescension had left Alternia more than 612 sweeps prior to rejoin her army. To dominate aliens scrambling across the shells… Continue reading

does this work for phone formatting? No.
“Ok. So what have you actually been working on lately?” The message blipped on Usha’s phone while she was typing away at work. Trying to track down some “miscellaneous” expenses in the garage. Too many. “Why. Can’t I just show you next time I’m home?” She waited a few minutes before checking it. Virika. The… Continue reading

Sister Reduced, part 9
“I’ve been wondering” Usha started. “What. You’re not supposed to make people ask for questions. What.” This was, perhaps, Virika’s pet peeve. “Why don’t you go back to your older characters. Springa? Tapedeck? Revamp them.” “I’ve sort of tried to? Its all too superhero-y. Believe it or not, I’ve been trying for more realism lately.… Continue reading

Ouinhed Cylinder Boom
“A million years ago” is the sort of thing people start saying after 5 years, and stop believing is hyperbole after a generation. The truth is most Ouinhead Cylinders were constructed in a relatively short period – about ten generations – making the doom of the following 45k generations. Nobody could tell you what a… Continue reading

A cry of mourning came from the temple. A Woman’s cry. It’s form changed from mournful to hateful and back again.The oldest Pandit of the temple – Giri, if he needed to be referred to, sat on the steps. Listening. The scriptures superscribed different methods of appeasing a goddess. But in his years serving the… Continue reading

At Intervals
“It wouldn’t be fair to say Counsellor Grerbe was the one that discovered the first signal irregularities. It’s that the emission survey that first showed them wasn’t even looking for planets… Radio, as you put it. It was just trying to refine star spectra, and some scans had irregular peaks.” “Mind you, there was no… Continue reading

Gags
One of the In-show “exits” Olivia and Aurelia are planning involves a 3 box illusion. A persona will be dragged back on stage, ready to go play tennis after the show – she’s got a racket, and appropriate court attire, which she isn’t wearing yet. Olivia throws the outfit in the boxes, and closes the… Continue reading

Future Prospects
The hardware store was open early – though a vigorous walk from the gas station. Nellie left the two requested replacement saw blades in her tiny security locker as she kept track of the usual proceedings. It was like watching for signs of zombie infection. Aurelia would, theoretically, still be only an inch taller than… Continue reading
