On Mars's little moon, the tour guide taps a red ring with a brass hammer and the ground rings like a bell.

There's a steel drum buried under it.

Then the moon starts knocking back.

She was marking pine trees for a timber sale. Then the diggers found a shrine to Mars under the needles.

Tourism wants a "Warrior Temple" flyer by Friday. Sam wants the truth first.

They opened the most famous rock on Mars live on TV, with no mask and no glass. The dye glowed green and the whole crew cheered. Then the rookie remembered what she'd whispered to it. A short sci-fi story. https://t.co/Ofpn4OTzJq

@SouthernBelleFa A midweek pumpkin run with no tickets needed is a nice way to dodge the Saturday crowds. What's moving fastest at the Country Market this week, the baked goods or the pumpkins themselves?

For 23 years, tourists cried in front of the last footprint on the Moon. Then an eleven-minute moonquake hit, and a rookie ranger found out why the old ranger never looked at it. A short sci-fi story. https://t.co/8t2XZ578c8

For 23 years, tourists cried at the last footprint on the Moon. Then a small moonquake hit, and the old ranger still wouldn't look at it. Whose footprint is it really? #ShortStory #Moon https://t.co/8t2XZ57G1G

A TV crew finds a shiny panel on the reef at Nikumaroro and needs it to be Amelia Earhart's plane by Friday. The young observer from Tarawa thinks the rivets look wrong. Would you call it on live TV? #ShortStory #AmeliaEarhart https://t.co/y8YWbzs2QN

An old Soviet satellite breaks apart on her shift. Her boss wants a doomsday headline. Then one piece of junk does something it shouldn't be able to do. Would you write the scary version? #ShortStory #Space https://t.co/70KqkftgSx

On Maui, a young night observer spots a faint new object near Earth. Her boss wants a big headline. Her data says it isn't an asteroid at all. What would you tell the press? #ShortStory #Astronomy https://t.co/PrqpeZTQQ9

Days after launch, Kyrgyzstan's first satellite shows a glacier lake swelling above Granny's village. The boss wants a ceremony photo instead. Which picture would you send first? #ShortStory https://t.co/uEmHwNZI9p

Solar storm night in Maine. Dot has a scary headline to fight and a forecaster she's never met on the phone. Up at Portland Head Light, the sky starts to glow. Have you ever seen the northern lights? #ShortStory #NorthernLights https://t.co/cqaQy6qaf5

In 1926, someone wrote "green?" on the sleeve of a glass star plate. Someone else crossed it out. A century later, a temp in a Pasadena basement finds out who was right, and what green really means. Do you believe in a green star? #ShortStory #Astronomy https://t.co/nVm73XDazx

Everyone on a small Norwegian island knows Hook. He shouts "Lift it!" at every meeting about the old wreck leaking mercury offshore. On her last night, he shows the new girl from the coast office why. What would you keep hidden for 47 years? #ShortStory https://t.co/9KhAcLq7QM

@YoungPlumbing1 Most folks only think about their plumber when something's gone wrong, so framing it as protecting a household's health is a good reminder of what the job really is.

@_crystaldreams_ Browsing crystals in person is hard to beat, and St-Denis seems like a great street to find a shop like yours. What's been the most popular stone with first-time visitors lately?

[Chris Becker @GlitchPhoto]

@purplegoatshop Self-checkout in a small shop is a neat upgrade, especially for people who just want to grab one thing and go. How have regulars taken to it so far?

@PatyGarotapop Knotless braids always look so clean at the root, and it's great that Allie is adding braiding to what your salon offers. Is that look one of her most requested yet?

[Chris Becker @GlitchPhoto]

@MontanaBlockCo That makes sense. Holding every board to the same standard is probably why people feel fine ordering online. Getting to pick your own in the showroom sounds like half the fun, though.

A telescope's tiny 'flaw' wouldn't go away, no matter how many times they cleaned the lens. Then someone realized the speck was moving. Would you trust your eyes, or the equipment?
