Friday Fiction: The Grasshopper
What would you do if a grasshopper came to your door?
That’s the absurd question at the heart of this surreal short story from Brandon Scott.

Murderbot: About As Good As The Books
Comparing the first three episodes of Murderbot to All Systems Red is a game of pros and cons. As a “fan” of the book series, I was obviously waiting for certain scenes and anticipating how well someone could play SecUnit, but the actual viewing experience was me going “that was good” followed swiftly by disappointment—and on and on it went.
Friday Fiction: The Man Who Hated The Moon (Part 2)
We return to our silly story.
We return now to Charles.
It’s been many, many years since we last saw him. He’s changed a lot. Learned a lot. But his hatred for the Earth’s closest celestial body has not diminished in the slightest.
Friday Fiction: The Man Who Hated The Moon (Part 1)
This is a silly story. There’s no way around that. It is a sci-fi tale, set in the far future, but it’s also pure comedy.
Friday Fiction: Call Alien
Do you ever wonder what aliens use to communicate with each other?
Well, in this story, the answer is cell phones.
Friday Fiction: No Dreadcrawlers Today
It’s been a little while since we’ve done a scary story, so I figure we’ll start with a horror comedy. Make it a little easier for the horror curious who are still a little squeamish.
Civilized: Improv Sci-Fi Fun
Civilized is a first for me as a reviewer: it’s an improvisational podcast. Meaning the actors are just playing off each other. And as such, I can’t really judge it on its plot progression. Narrative, themes, writing quality: all out the window. There really isn’t even a storyline to speak of yet, just a premise.
Friday Fiction: The Undectable Lunchbox
Have you ever had a coworker steal your lunch? Ever found that the meal you brought from home was no longer where you meant it to be? What if, in this hypothetical scenario, you also could make almost any piece of technology you wanted and had basically infinite resources?
Friday Fiction: Glitched
It’s a long-ago established idea in science fiction that we might live in some computer program. And thinking about it can lead down so many roads of thought. What does that mean about our lives, about our personalities? Who are we outside the simulation?
Friday Fiction: Saying Hi
Dear reader, have you ever wondered if aliens exist? If there are other species out there living amongst the stars? And, if there are civilizations out there, why they don’t come by to say hi to all of us?
Hamster & Gretel: Irreverent Superhero Fun
Hamster & Gretel hit my radar for one reason: it was made by Dan Povenmire. You likely know his voice and creations, even if you don’t know his name. He’s part of the team that made Phineas and Ferb, and he voices Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
It Came From The Archives “The Mitchells vs the Machines: A Spectacular Masterpiece”
This interconnectivity, this familiar exploration, would have been enough to carry a movie. But The Mitchells vs the Machines still has two more things to cover.
