You remind me
of yourself at an age
you haven’t reached yet
Three clockfaces with two images of a man at different ages.

Short Story

The Observation Post


In 1962, Ensign Floyd Moore is the communications officer for the blimp Centurion patrolling the Caribbean for Russian shipments of nuclear missiles to Cuba. But what he and his lieutenant stumble upon on the larger Inagua island couldn’t possibly be Russian technology. —Michael Main
The world was on the brink of nuclear war, and no one knew it yet. Almost no one that, is.

Effect and Cause


A pilot on a one-man ship in a space battle repeatedly lives backward through fifteen seconds and then forward again with the chance to do things differently each time. —Michael Main
Ignoring this, I sit down at the table to pick up a cup and spit calding hot coffee into it. Then I proceed to vomit food onto my plate so I can sculpt it with a knife and fork into peas, carrots, and omelette.
A city-sized ring world, covered on the inside by skyscrapers, floats in front
                of a bright nebula.
