Uber Lift

I think morphs are like CGI, you only notice the bad ones. This was such a great image I had to write a little something for it, which I guess technically makes it a caption. Then, when trying to find a high resolution version of it I discovered t...

I was slowly piecing together reality. We had “just one more beer”, ordered an Uber and then blacked out in the back seat. The bright light outside t...

Non-Minkowski Space

I've been thinking about the concept of someone travelling into the future and immediately being apprehended as a threat to society because of him just being a riddled with long since cured diseases. In the process of "curing" him they would just ...

Human Trial #1 -00:01:00

One minute left. My mind was racing. This must have been what the first astronauts felt. Any small error and it would be over for them, only that I had it worse. This was all my invention, my design, my engineering. ...

Ronnie the Pool Boy

I wanted to make my own rewrite of this story as I thought the wife reaction was a bit unnatural. Sure, she might call the cop on an unknown intruder, but sooner or later she would understand it was the husband. But if she understood it right away...

Ronald was excited, and more than a little aroused, as he opened the package. This should shut her up about him being ‘too old’ or ‘out of shape’...

Rehabilitation

Another case of not being sure what image to use. I wanted him to look young, depressed, in hi-viz gear, dirty and not yet having developed any muscles. I also was leaning towards UK, as a more plausible location for some Clockwork Orange shit, th...

This was based on a story by the tumblr write collegenerdtojock. I don't like memory alterations, as I think that cheapens the impact of a transformation. I decided to write my story post transformation, whereas this one is before.

A Week in Indiana

This all started out in a chat where someone was trying pretty hard to get me to fly to him. I didn't really take the offer all that serious, but it was fun to think about it. What could happen? So I started to write a trip more or less how I woul...

A Week in Indiana

I was exhausted. It’s weird, because on long haul travel you have done nothing but relaxing. First on the initial connection, then at the airport, then at the trans-Atlantic from Amsterdam to Chicago. I even napped a bit on it. Since that flight...
