Road trip..though space
Barnaby wanted snacks. Toloro had told him no stops–the trip to Xiston Beach was 37 lightyears, after all. With no stops on the way, the boomdrive should get them there in about 6 hours. But for Barnaby, 6 hours without snacks was unthinkable.
So against Toloro’s better [...]
Road trip..though time.
Cindy was just about go off shift when an elderly couple in silver jumpsuits approached her.
“Excuse me, Officer,” said the woman. Her red hair and white teeth stood in proud defiance of clear age of her face. She motioned to her companion, who sported white hair [...]
…And we’re back! It’s a Christmas Miracle!
I’ll be honest, I missed you guys. Hiatus ended up taking longer than usual, due to a very important project that I cannot talk about just yet. It’s big, though. Super big. I’ll say more about it when I can.
It’s nearly Christmas, which puts me in [...]
As you may or may not have noticed, there has been no News From Poughkeepsie content this week. This will continue onto next week, but we’ll be up and running again on the 16th. Indeed, NFP shall rise like the phoenix, more beautiful and terrible than ever, outshining the [...]

And she can [...]
No Sunday edition, as no one wrote a prompt of there own. I thought “Zombies VS _______” was pretty open ended, but I suppose I took all the good ones. Arkle had a good start with Zombies VS the Mafia, but unfortunately for us all, did not continue. Perhaps someday he will, and [...]
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.”
