Friday Fiction: How Long Would It Take You To Notice The Honey Monster?
Honestly, this is one of the most complicated stand-alone stories we’ve ever featured on Friday Fiction. It’s set in the future, with some comedy layered in, and then is also an apocalyptic horror story.
Friday Fiction: The Many Spaceships Of The Biggest City
Possibly, this is the furthest in the future we’ve ever done for a Friday Fiction. The technology in “The Many Spaceships Of The Biggest City” seems possible, eventually, but it could be hundreds, if not thousands, of years before it would be on this level.
Hello Tomorrow! Doesn’t Need Its Gimmick
Hello Tomorrow! is perhaps one of the most unique sci-fi shows to come out in a long time. It’s got such an odd combination of factors that somehow come together to deliver an engaging drama and mystery revolving around a big, central question. But, unlike a lot of other dramas, there’s no hero. This is a show where almost everyone is a scam artist—though some of them don’t actually know they’re running a scam.
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: Hop Tester
Gaming is a lot of fun. It’s a favorite pastime of so many people. And the technology is getting better all the time.
In this version of our future, it’s gotten very, very good. Possibly beyond what is actually possible—but, hey, this is a science fiction story. Let’s roll with it.
Friday Fiction: Corner Wall Blues
Are you in a room, dear reader?
If so, look at a corner. Isn’t it cool how perfectly the two walls mesh into one another? There’s no space between them.
Friday Fiction: There Are More Stars Than There Should Be
Imagine the scale of stars for a moment.
It’s difficult, isn’t it? Thinking about stuff that big, out in solar systems that big, with so much emptiness between them?
Well, this story is not going to make that any easier.
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.
