science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Lone Wolf: The Duel
It was morning. The sun rose steadily, igniting the open lands with its light. Birds flew across the sky as they greeted the morning. Just as it sounded peaceful, it all ended when a convoy of four speeding trucks roared across the open en route to a city. An armored soldier, with the rank of captain etched into the shoulder pads, sitting in the passenger seat of one of the trucks was typing on a small keyboard while looking at the transparent screen on the windshield as they approached their destination.Upon zooming in on the city, the radio crackled to life.

Science Fiction Terms You Should Know and How They Originated
If there was one thing that Orwell's 1984 got right, it's the insane effect that language has on reality. The moment that a word seems to be invented, it has an impact on humanity's overall state of being.

Review of 'The War Master: Only The Good'
Doctor Who fans seem to have long memories, stretching back decades at times. So it shouldn't be hard to remember the episode, "Utopia," first broadcast in 2007, which featured legendary British thespian Sir Derek Jacobi as the kindly but eccentric Professor Yana. Except that, as the episode's finale revealed, Yana, in reality, the Doctor's arch-nemesis, The Master. Viewers only got a few minutes of Jacobi properly in the role before he regenerated into John Simm but fans have been itching for more ever since, especially in light of further explorations of the Time War. It seems only right then that Big Finish has brought Jacobi's Master and in style to boot with The War Master: Only The Good.

The Explosion
My eyes scanned over the heads of the students, bent over their notes—so unaware of the danger they were in. They needed to get out, I needed to get out...unable to help myself, my gaze wandered over to him. He needed to get out. I wanted to jump up, scream at all of them to run, hide, just get away as far as they could. And more than once, I had risen slightly in my seat, more than once, I had opened my mouth to say something—but then in my mind, I saw them. I saw the people I loved most in the world dying...dying to save the people I hated all my life. Well, most of them, anyway. I looked up at him again. He looked distracted. He wasn’t watching the teacher anymore, just staring at the back wall, his brow furrowed in concentration. It was a desperate attempt, I know that, even as I tried it. He wasn’t like me...he couldn’t be like me. Nobody was like me. Nevertheless, my eyes looked to the back of his head, I screamed in my mind. Almost instantly, he flinched, and straightened in his seat. But that couldn’t be right...he couldn’t be...it was just my imagination. But even as I thought this, I saw him look around the room, searching the faces of all the students, his eyes coming closer, and closer. Hurriedly, I looked down, staring heatedly at my paper until I felt him turn away. Then, an idea struck me. A horrible idea. But...it might work. Taking a deep breath, I concentrated on him again.

The Infinite Artificial Heartbeat
#KuriStory When I started working in the lab, it wasn't because of love or lust, or even affection of any kind. It was about, you know, what every first job is; a stepping stone, maybe just a place to grow. It's possible (and even more literal) that I had no clue what was in store for me. . .
