Friday Fiction: The Needles Arrive (Part 1)

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, may I have your attention, please?! You’ve been patient! You’ve been diligent! You’ve been loyal! Now, for demonstrating such tremendous qualities, such incredible attributes, such unbelievable resolve, you shall be rewarded! Friends, bloggers, Earthlings, lend me your ears! The time has come, yet again, for you to get your proper dose of excitement, adventure, and intrigue! People of the Net, without further delay, I present to you this week’s FRRRRRRRRRRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY FICTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Sam…

…Sam, play it.

*Cue music.*

It’s time for, possibly, a first for Sci-Fi Bloggers.

Because, with this new tale, we have four different, multi-part stories happening concurrently. In addition to this new apocalyptic sci-fi, we have the long-running “Our Reflections” series, the almost equally long “Unspeakably Scary Things,” and, our relatively new urban fantasy thriller, “Talking to A Ghost.”

If you like longer-form narratives, it’s a good time to be reading.

But, as for our current one, we have a simple premise. An extra-dimensional species simply called “Needles” has just arrived—and things have gotten bad.

Witness, if you so desire, a first-hand account of the end of the world.

CLICK HERE to read, if you wish, one person’s best attempts to survive the Needles.

Oh, and don’t worry, we still have plenty of standalone short stories for you, mixed in with everything else. But next week, well, we’ve got a ghost to talk to some more.
