I had a lot of questions for James. Questions like “When did you even find the time for this?” or “How did you afford thirty packages of hamburger?” or perhaps most pressingly, “What did you bribe the biology lab with to get away with it?” … Lots of questions. Honestly, I had more of a […]
There are two ways to go faster than light. The first is to have less mass than a photon. I’ve yet to hear about a diet that manages this, but I think that’s just the modeling industry being secretive. The other method involves a cardboard box, an aluminum foil space helmet, and the words “Please, […]
It started with one shuttle. The craft was old, scarred from countless flights through superheated atmosphere, and its crew wore a mismatched collection of patched-together flight suits. They landed on the diveball field a mile from my house, looked around in utter confusion for maybe ten spans, then left. A few rotations later, another shuttle […]
Editor’s note: This one is really funny, geeks, and the videos that go along with it makes the story even better! —– Humans made it to the wider galaxy, finally.

Also, it was September, and the temperature was just cold enough to give her a chill after a rainstorm. The chill that […]
I shall begin my latest report with a clear statement to speak of how frightening my latest assignment has become. We are obviously a race that has surrendered our physical forms in exchange for pure energy-based forms. We have also taken it upon ourselves to observe all sentient races and document their rise and fall. […]
It was often debated what the most useful and enduring weapon amongst the member species was. Arguments would go on and on for endless hours with no resolution ever in sight. “I believe it is clearly the fangs,” a wolf-like Inuxis declared as he thumped his fist against the table. To the Inuxis, their fangs […]
