The Fungilarity - 365tomorrows
Author: Majoki “A synaptic map of the brain.” “Social media pathways on the Internet.” “A spider web. If the spider had taken acid.” The program director waited as each volunteer gave their interpretation of the sprawling diagram being displayed in the research center’s conference room. “A force much more powerful than any robot overlords we […]
The Customer is Always... - 365tomorrows
Author: Jae Miles, Staff Writer The tennis-court sized office is lit like a summer afternoon. Everything within is red, but each item is a different shade. “You must tell me who makes those soft ownership collars for you.

Meta - 365tomorrows
Author: Majoki Her eyes were oceans of possibility. Blue and depthless. And I was shipwrecked. A fallen eyelash crushed the sails and within moments my ship foundered in the shoals of the iris.

Dear Valued Employees - 365tomorrows
Author: Lorna McGinnis Dear Valued Employees, As you may know, the world will be destroyed next Wednesday.

Torch Song - 365tomorrows
Author: David Henson After work, I stop by to check on my father and find him carrying a flashlight around the well-lit house. “Is everything OK, Dad.” “It’s your mother.” “I miss her too, Dad.” “No, Son. This is your mother.” He holds up the flashlight. His answer jolts me. “Dad, you don’t believe that’s […]

Space Race - 365tomorrows
Author: David Barber An old spacer complaint is that home is never where you left it. Spacers end up in bars like this. Relationships don’t survive years out in the dark, but that doesn’t matter here, one loner recognised another. Perry listened to them arguing about racing. They dismissed the sport because it was playing […]
Tales from that Hollow Bit of You - 365tomorrows
Author: Hari Navarro, Staff Writer I have been in this asylum for so long that its corridors have become my arteries and its rooms my veins. I really feel more than a little lost, and my gums are covered with a grainy film. I don’t know why I stopped here. I don’t know why I […]

Author: K.Hartless Will it stay cloudy forever?” I release a pillow of breath through the slit in my box, try to imagine Jared’s expression, lost to me from behind cardboard folds. He’s brought me to the ravine for a reason, and I sniff the morning air as if searching for a clue. “Smells cloudy, anyways.” […]
Packing Up - 365tomorrows
Author: Eric Fomley “What are you doing?” Sammie asks. Bo is slicing through the artificial flesh on the back of her neck, folding the plastic material away and exposing the circuitry. “I’m packing you up,” Bo says.
