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”.

Take the Next Tube
London, 1998. She was Eleanor, and he was Douglas, but neither of them knew the other’s name at that point. They’d only been talking for a small while when the train arrived.

The Octopus of My Heart
In the first grade I knew something must be wrong. I was obsessed with a ginger haired girl named Gabby. The heartache didn’t go away for the longest time. She was the first girl I imagined naked. Not that a boy of six knew the first thing to do with a naked six year old girl. I couldn’t even form a complete picture, if you know what I mean. My fantasy image of Gabby resembled that of Casper the Friendly Ghost, but with pink skin and red hair. Not having experience with female genitalia at the time, there was nothing down there, in my mind’s eye.

Screaming Metal (Part 017)
If this was indeed Il'on, then it would have been on Shake Hands well before the colonists. It made sense. If it could broadcast over the local radio waves, then it could listen in on them too.

Another World
The origins of the Gehunite civilization date back to the mid-1970s, when I wrote a massive swords and sorcery novel called Alura. I was dating a lady name Laura at the time, and she looked a bit like the semi-barbarian princess who starred in the book, so I named it after her. It had nothing to do with Supergirl's mother, though it wouldn't shock me if both originated in the same anagram.

Sand & Bone
Chapter One: A sea of people on their knees. Each individual, praying to a God that didn't seem to listen. The woman before them, their leader, had led them out into the barren wasteland known as the Validia desert. Though not by force, but by faith. Through her, God spoke his word. And her people. They listened. They all surrounded her in the circle, bowed heads in her direction. And there she sat at the center.

The Books No One Reads
One simply must not keep strange ideas bottled up inside them. I feel, perhaps, in some part, people can become quite insane if they keep their odd thoughts too closely guarded. Because of this, I mentioned an eccentric idea to a friend, and he was quite bemused and thought my ideas silly but complimented me on my imagination.
