Dark shadows slink across the room.

"Steve, thanks for the invite, but where are your folks?"

"Umm, they're getting things ready."

A birdcage hangs from the ceiling. The parrot inside is so agitated.

How would it have learned to make those horrific choking sounds?

It was a funeral, so unsurprisingly there were crows outside. Not in trees. They wore fancy waistcoats and walked up and down discussing the stock market. They checked the time on their little fob watches. "Not the alien invasion we expected," Pam's mother whispered.

She had been outside the Transplanter’s vestibule for hours, surveying the silent, paled plain, bestrewn with humps and mounds of bleached bone under a washed-out sky with blanched clouds and wondering what the hell her jackal-headed boss had meant by your eye will know --

when she gasps at the sight of throbbing carmine atop an osseous knoll, the abruptness of colour in this inert landscape a slap to her dulled senses,

and stands trembling, sampling tube in hand, beneath a mushroom of living flesh of the deceased, as she recognises her parents’ voices in the murmuring of thousands.

This is why we love Melbourne

[Dr Vyom Sharma @drvyom]

If you are in Melbourne, step right now outside to enjoy the greatest weather conditions ever seen in human history. Perfect temperature, sunlight and wind. Someone put this in a jar and sell it.

[Baltar Xinzo @BaltarXinzo]

During a break, I read in the yellow, musty pages of an old science fiction book a phrase that would hunt me ever since,
“The future was wide open,
and the sky was the limit.”
Whoever wrote those words, must have been born in the rich part of the world.
Damn bastard.

An inscrutable veil sweeps across the bejewelled expanse of space, hiding the mysteries beyond. If we could but push that veil aside, might we not catch a glimpse of time’s relentless momentum, the birth and death of galaxies. Might we not see the unfathomable future? #SciFiFri

[mchyl @mchyl]

The first sounds of an alien planet crackle out from the speakers. The probe’s transmission is faint but clear. We hear susurrations of wind and sand; plops and splats of wetness; a whomping thud, thud, thud, getting closer & louder. Then, growling voices start talking. #SciFiFri

[Karim Wafa-Al Hussaini @DrKarimWafa]

A hanging half torn body of a child.

A son putting the remains of his father in a plastic bag.

A mother looking for her daughter’s hair in a pile of hair.

A brother carrying the dismembered leg of his baby brother.

How much more do you need to see to believe us? We are tired.

I don’t think people understand, if one bomb dropped in London, we would never move past it. The world would stop. A BOMB? what do you mean people getting blown into pieces on Oxford Street? This is what people are getting desensitised to. It DOESN’T make sense. It needs to STOP

[mchyl @mchyl]

“Hey boss, take it easy. We’re all friends here.” Said the elf, a wiry arm pressing a blade to his throat.
“We know this is your territory, but on the other side, the land is ours.”
A tattooed face breathed into his ear.
“We should work together. Your gang and my clan.” #SciFiFri

We are denied entry into the Pleasure Zone. We, the inferior race, hunched under our greasy hoods, can only sneak glances thru swinging gates into the forbidden area. The perfume of sweet vanilla and ocean tones of musical bells drift out, fanning the embers of hatred. #SciFiFri

People are not civilized, the bobcat hissed. We at least catch fish to eat. Killing other people is pure depravity!
But what can we do? said the fox-girl.
Whatever we can, said the ronin.
