I hope you guys don't mind I decided to make my first post my contest entry!
Good evening I Voyager, nice to meet you.
I think it's great that you are eager to enter a challenge right away. As for me, I stumbled across this thread, and I've returned nearly every month. One month, I was a bit lost on the subject of the theme, but I managed to throw something together after I did a little research.
Recently, I began to review each story. I do it for fun, and I like to entertain people.
Change
Tywin - A serial killer has gone through a new rehabilitating treatment, that is favorably looked upon, and used to return him into society. However, is he really a changed man? Fiendishly creepy, and very thought provoking. Awesome.
Mith - Those who have strong feelings toward what is right, and what is wrong, will pose these powerful questions: "Is Cloning wrong?" "Even when we have the technology to make it possible, should we?" Genetically groovy story!
Springs - Fantastic weird fiction tale about not having to feel the discomfort of PAIN anymore, with the aid of science. But, unfortunately there is a terrible side effect that stuns the reader at the end of this story. Dramatically tremendous!
Abernovo - Astounding alien tale, where a young insectoid is impatient to grow up so he can join the hunt for fresh meat, humans. Darkly delightful, and fun like a pleasent family outting.
Bowler1 - Machines will always be helpful, even with children. But give them an A.I., and they can turn upon you, like in this savagely superb sci-fi entry. Eerie excellence and very spooky.
Ratsy - In the far furture, there are two classes of people, those who live above ground, and those who live beneath the cities struggling to survive. A lone individual discovers a means to obtain an education, and through knowledge, his life will change forever. Astonishingly cool!
Venusian Broon - Amazing science fiction story, in which androids are given artificial intellegence to see if they will become humanlike, through understanding experiances. This familiar tale is given new life and excells in entertainment.
Karn Maeshalanadae - Whoa! Shocking, and what some people believe, is a possible reality that is in the near future. Outstanding story, that gives us a strong dose of fear and paranoia in what might become fact, rather than fiction. George Orwellesque and very frightening.
Victoria Silverwolf - Imagine if voting weekly was mandatory to keep yourself in a better class of social existence, that would be a political nightmare. And in this tale, it's a way of life. Undebatably good stuff.
