From the monthly archives: October 2009
Just wanted to point out there is one day–ONE DAY–left to win the fine shirt below. All you have to do is write a story with an October prompt. That’s all. The winner will be posted on Sunday.

Tomorrow’s Ghosts
Trixie knew about ghosts. Ghosts were merely the residual electromagnetic field left over after a person passed away. Usually, it dispersed. But Trixie had developed a way to capture this energy, and contain it for further study. As a hospice administrator, she had access to a multitude of ghosts from [...]
Tomorrow’s Ghosts
Edward was the best cleaner in GLOBE. He scrubbed clean the data of land that had been abandoned or reclaimed, removing any remnant code that might be lingering, any booby traps the previous tenant left behind. New Wheel, the company that created GLOBE, had brought him on as contractor, but [...]
Tomorrow’s Ghosts
In the pale light of morning, Konomi can see them coming. They flood the streets, moving slowly on treds and wheels, legs and springs. She can see them, the disgarded robots of the city. She can see them attempt to do what the have always done.

Zombies Versus Rabbis
Moishe could hear the way they clawed at the door, the wood doing little to muffle their hungry groans. “Rabbi, don’t you think we should…?” Rabbi Auslander’s glare evaporated the word from his mouth.
“Not until the lesson is finished. Now. What are they?”
“…Qlipoth…”
“So is this [...]
Zombies Versus Suffragettes
Susan stood at the door, and glared at frightened women. “You think this is scary?” she said. “Stinking corpses wandering around outside? You think that’s scary.”
Georgette was the only one that nodded, but several others looked down at the floor, ashamed.
“This isn’t scary. The fact that we [...]
Zombies Versus Vikings
Sigur, who was called Foxskin, due to length of white fur that adorned his shoulders, saw the boat first. He called Otir, his giant of a commander. Otir had seen the blood of battle twice as many times as Sigur had, and Sigur was a old soldier of twenty [...]
