STAGE FRIGHT
Science Fiction - part 6​


@Justin Swanton - Talk about an unforgettable performance, at a school play. Deadly, and executed excellently. "Father. May I have some ice cream? NOW!!!"

@Ihe - A comedian with a mind jammed full of engineered paranoia, can ruin a career. I hope he saved his receipt for a refund. A story filled with creamy head cheese goodness.

@nixie - This tale is like strong liquor, tasty, and mind numbing. But always remember moderation, or the consequences can surprise you. Immensely intoxicating, and awesome.

@AstroZon - If you're the type that gets nervous in front of an audience, it can be helpful to have a little magic on your side. Marvelous. I could use that gem to get a BIG raise at work.

@cyprus7 - Envelope please. Thank you. And the Oscar for best Star Trek Written Parody goes to...Cyprus7. You've created a story, that no one has done before. Live long, and keep up the great work.

@Mr Orange - Howdy-hey-there pardner. So glad you could join us here, for this month's big round-up. Your tale, like the villain, was blended well. Outrageous and awesome.

@Perpetual Man - "...what'd you do that for?" "For being a ******* with no manners. Without a duke of an idea how to comport yourself public-wise, oh my brother astronaut." Far-out and terrific sci-fi entry.
 
Ta for the thumbs up Starbeast (I'll start calling you Beastie in a few weeks).
 
STAGE FRIGHT
Science Fiction - part 7​


@ratsy - The blob beings in this story, like the author, knew, that there's always room for Jello-like aliens to consume a hapless victim. A fantastic tasty treat, that waggles and oozes Shakespeare.

@hopewrites - Oh my. There's nothing worse than inadvertently saying the wrong thing to someone. The character in this tale, put their foot in their mouth clear up to their hip. Freaking funny. ;)

@HazelRah - Fear of falling is something we all face at one time or a another. But leaping off a platform onto a flying vehicle, can test the nerves of even a seasoned pilot. Tremendous drama.

@Moonbat - Just relax, and run some water. No, don't think that. I'm talking about doing the dishes. Oh, man...the images you put in my mind. Thanks for the laugh, and I'm glad you could join us.
