Float: An Impactful Tale Of Parenting
Float marks the last of the currently available SparkShorts that are solidly within the science fiction/fantasy genre. What I’ve seen of the other ones is excellent, though, and you should watch all of them.
Wind: You’re Going To Cry So Much
Wind is even better than Smash and Grab, and that’s saying a lot. SparkShorts, it turns out, are some of the best short films I’ve ever seen. And they’re quite different from each other, with unique settings, characters, and stories.
Friday Fiction: A Very Good Steak Dinner
This is a slow build of a story, much like a slowly cooked piece of meat.
Smash and Grab: Absolutely Adorable

Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone! It’s almost time to step into a new day, a new time, a new year, and see what is going to happen next.
Friday Fiction: Paradoxical Eggnog (Part 2 of 2)
We’ve returned to the strange tale of the Paradoxical Eggnog. Our main character has discovered this newest magical food and is now making cash with it.
Doctor Who Special Reviews: The Church on Ruby Road
The Church on Ruby Road marks the beginning of Ncuti Gatwa’s tenure as the Doctor, and while the episode was a mixed bag, Ncuti did such a good job.
