Friday Fiction: Machine Operations
I have a question for you, dear reader. A question of intent. Last time, I said that we would have a story without any blood. What did you think I meant by that?

Last Friday Fiction, I said you’d get a “classic horror story” A classic horror story, in this case, means a truly gory cosmic horror tale with some gnarly (but mostly implied) body horror.

Hello, dear reader. This is a story about power. Howard has a lot of it now, and his experiences with it are strange and intense.
Too strange—and too intense, in fact.

This is a story about the end of the world, and of lying. One is more obvious than the other. Sometimes, a lack of information can be its own sort of lie. A hidden truth, told in half-truths.

Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone!
To finish out this year, we have one more story. One more tale. And, because this is Sci-Fi Bloggers, it only seems fitting to make this one a science fiction story. But it’s being told in a slightly different way than you might expect.

It’s been a little while since our last horror tale, has it not? Something brutal, spooky, or nightmarish hasn’t graced our Friday Fiction section since (arguably) we found out what a “reverse werewolf” curse was.
Well, that changes with this short tale entitled “Chalk Drawings of Monsters.”

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
It’s become a bit of a tradition around here for Brandon Scott to write a Christmas tale. And this year, he’s been hard at work making sure it’s another good one.

The holiday season is so strong in the air now. I feel it. And, apparently, so does our resident author, Brandon Scott. This time, we’re getting a short, cozy fantasy story set around Christmas time.

It’s the future. But not a nice one. An army of indestructible machines simply called “The Marching” have done serious damage to the planet, destroying so much in their wake.

Time for a weird sci-fi concept! This time, we’re checking in on the very first Four-Man. Being a Four-Man comes with a power, but also some difficulties.

We have a new subgenre today! For—if my memory is correct—this is the first LITRPG-style story we’ve ever featured on the site. It’s not exactly a LITRPG; it more just explores one part of such a world, but the similarities are there.

Dear reader, oh, our dear readers, the following tale doesn’t fit into any single genre. It is a fantasy tale, in a medieval land, yes. And there’s a strange type of magic that anyone can spontaneously have, for certain. That is fantastical. No arguing about that.
