Sci-fi short stories are so efficient; they take 15 minutes to read and then you think about them for the next 5 years

Concept art of Medusa's default sprite from Extra Credits with Athena.

Medusa takes precautions to avoid other people. Having snakes for hair isn't enough to scare most people away, she also needs a studded choker, a studded belt, a chain-link necklace adorned with spikes, and a small snake pendant too.

We settled on outfit number 4 as Medusa's default look, after experimenting with a wide variety of sleeve patterns and whether not to make them looser or more form-fitting.

We went for the tighter sleeves, as they created a stronger silhouette and made for a better contrast with Athena's own flowing robes.

Liz Toohey-Wiese, 2024.

"A sign installed in the largest wildfire burn I’ve ever seen, along the BC/YK border. Borrowing the aesthetics of BC Recreation Site signs, once again pointing to the overlaps of outdoor recreation, resource extraction, and the consequences of the climate crisis. Most recreation sites in BC exist along previously built logging and mining roads.

“Forced into a great and difficult transformation” was a line I heard in a lecture on Buddhist philosophy I was listening to on my drive up north. But it became another mantra I thought about while living in a place that’s been utterly transformed by resource extraction over the past century, and as I thought about the burnt landscapes I drove through."

Hey so that was a great date, yeah, but I don't think it's going to work out. Nono you didn't do anything wrong, and I have indeed had a crush on you since we started high school, it's just... well, I didn't want to bring it up at the time but we kinda got sucked into a portal fantasy midway through. We saved the kingdom over and over, relying on our knowledge of and trust in each other every time, throwing ourselves into the firing line to protect each other and using each others' conviction as a rock. We got married and lived a happy life together until the portal sucked us back mid-battle and you gave up all your memories of our journey in order to save my life right when we ended up back in the coffee shop. Yeah that was when I got a bit weird and went to the bathroom.

Anyway I thought we could push on and make the date work but I have all of these memories of secrets that this you never chose to share, decisions that this you never made, and intimacies that this you never experienced. And it's kind of screwing with the vibe yeah. Also on the date it was really, blatantly clear that you're sixteen whereas I have memories of ruling a fantasy kingdom for thirty years so like... that's a problem all on its own. Anyway this you just feels more like a daughter to me. A daughter with the woman I gave my heart and soul to over and over and received like in return, only to lose her forever on the journey home. On the plus side I can definitely help you with your math homework now.

#what the fuck#this one was actually really very short why is it still like that what

The shorter it is, the more concentrated the what the fuck can be.

I can help you with your math homework because the fantasy world's magic system was based on calculus and I was a gifted mage, stop nitpicking.

#this world's magic system is also based in calculus

An Ana & Din short story entitled The Lion's Tusk will appear in the forthcoming Amazon-only fantasy anthology Magic & Mystery, due out on the 28th of July, 2026.

(No sign yet of an ebook of The Fallen Master. I asked Subterranean Press months ago and they told me they don't even HAVE the ebook rights. 💀 Does anyone know anything? I live in hope.)

Genuinely evil and dark-sided to put the periods between the letters in "milf" and "dilf." Like what is M.I.L.F. that is a supervillain organization composed entirely of cougars. Whoa that's a great idea actually post canceled hold on
