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 […]

Reds and Blues - 365tomorrows
Author: Samantha Kelly Jac entered the cafeteria, tapping her ID bracelet against the sensor. She waited for the machine to calculate an ideally nutritious meal. Once it arrived, Jac took her tray and sat at the end of one of the tables. The other paramedics were in the middle of conversation and Jac knew it’d [�]

Special Delivery - 365tomorrows
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. His chin trembles and he chews the inside of his lower lip. “Have I done something wrong?” “No,” […]

Faded Glory - 365tomorrows
Author: Chris De Pree “How vast those Orbs must be, and how inconsiderable this Earth, the Theatre upon which all our mighty Designs, all our Navigations, and all our Wars are transacted, is when compared to them.” –Christian Huygens (1629-1695) The rapidly moving silver sphere fragmented into hundreds of smaller reflective orbs in the outer […]
Release - 365tomorrows
Author: Brian Maycock In one hour, he would be free. Murty grinned. Smiling was not against the rules, not strictly speaking, but if a guard saw you smiling there was a good chance a beating would follow. They might think you were laughing at them or hiding a secret. Or simply wanted to impose a […]
The Flamingo - 365tomorrows
Author: Rachel Sievers The sun baked the earth creating a wafting air current that reminded Regina of what the ghost of bacon would look like. “Damn it is hot,” she whispered to herself as she moved over the black of the abandoned road. She could move to the side of the road but the cactus […]

Vision - 365tomorrows
Author: John Atkinson A solid line splits my vision. The ‘now’ – a drab grey room with two humans sitting opposite me – fills the lower half. The ‘past’ – a perfect rendition of prior events recorded by my internal camera – fills the upper half. “You see it?” Asks one of the humans. “I […]
The Wave - 365tomorrows
Author: Bill Cox He walks into town just as everyone who could is walking out. Running seems pointless to him, but he can’t blame them for trying. People pass in ramshackle jalopies, their worldly goods piled precariously up, held steady by blank-faced children. Others leave on mules or bicycles, many just on foot. A military [�]
Feeling - 365tomorrows
Author: Evan MacKay It was cold. I knew it was cold even if I couldn’t feel it. I knew because my brain told me it was cold. They’d stuck me in the freezer after all. But I couldn’t feel. Oh Lord, I couldn’t feel. But the pain was gone. When they’d fried my nervous system […]
