I noticed that my panic didn’t set in. The blurry blob moved closer. I can’t make out any shapes, just a couple of vague dark splotches in a bright room. I heard myself say “Yes, I’ll do it!” What did I just agree to? And why can’t I see anything? Continue Reading
This morning I didn’t know how to fly a helicopter. It only took a couple hours in the simulator game, then I just went and basically stole this one. Their security was crap. No worries everything resets back to normal, tomorrow. Why am I back here? I don’t know. Hoping Continue Reading
I thought by making myself read the lotto numbers, it would help me remember them in the past, as it seems be happening with many other “future memories” since the night in the desert. If you’re new here, here’s what’s been happening: you know how every memory seems to be Continue Reading
I had the wildest flying dream that night! I went the highest I ever flew. At some point I was flying over a skyscraper! If you could record my dreaming brain, it’s like a video created by an AI on steroids. I wonder what a brain scan would see. I Continue Reading
How do I remember this book? Wait, I wrote it? Yeah, of course, right after the… war. Holy shit! How do I remember the year 2042, when it’s now summer of 2023? Is it a dream? I’ve been remembering all my dreams, and I do dream in sci-fi sometimes. Nope, Continue Reading
“I heard you outside by the fire, but when I looked I only saw the fire. I called for you, then thought you went out to find a bush to pee or something. It’s been like 20 minutes, where were you?” “I swear I don’t know what’s up right Continue Reading
I never thought I’d sleep in the desert on purpose, unless I’d be lost or dying. Yet, here I am. I prepared as much as I could. The solar battery runs my fridge for a couple days with no sun, but here the sun it at its strongest. No clouds Continue Reading
How I came up with the idea. (I wrote this whole idea in two different sessions, I made some changes, some parts may seem disjointed but it’ll make sense in the end!) Sometimes, I can’t sleep at night. I was thinking tonight: “I feel like I’m just getting by, Continue Reading
As I pull away from the large billboard on the side of the busy highway, I smile as I look one more time in the rear view mirror to glance at the message. It says “Life Insurance is Love Insurance”. It’s a LifeGuy ad and my face is on this Continue Reading
It’s not hard to imagine a world where a machine, a future android robot, not necessarily a true AI, may come up with abstract art or even a poem, or a novel. Who has ownership of the art that was produced? The current owner of the machine? The manufacturer? Only Continue Reading
Nothing. Because I didn’t have them. I stopped buying bottled water. I used to drink 4 bottles of water per day, on average. That’s over 1,400 plastic bottles per year. Yes, I used to do the “right thing” by religiously placing those empty bottles in the green recycle bin, but Continue Reading
LETTER TO FUTURE SURVIVORS Future human: “What were you guys thinking?” Me: “Short answer: We were busy meme-ing”. If you read this in 2219, you may be sitting comfortably in your oxygen room, listening to the chirping of extinct birds from a long-ago jungle recording displayed on your Continue Reading
