Sounds of people talking, mixed with unhurried footsteps and whispering were what the man awoke to. Everything sounded muddy, as if he had dunked his head underwater and was listening to someone on a nearby boat. By the time his eyes started to open, the sounds had cleared up somewhat, and the first thing he…
January 3rd, 2121. The streets of London were always quiet in the dead hours of the night. They were the perfect time for a man to go walking around aimlessly, so long as he wasn’t worried about muggers. The crisp winter air and light snowfall meant the streets were illuminated more than usual by the…
The viewscreen came to life and froze for several minutes on a pure white image as the signal waited for the receiving end to connect. Jorge rubbed his hands together nervously and wiped at his face every now and again. The clock on the wall ticked down and it took all his control not to…
January 2nd, 2121. Ohhh… fuck. Jorge sat on the edge of his bed, rocking back and forth slowly as the nausea came and went. That’s the last time I chug six beers in five minutes. The toilet whispered softly to him from across the room as the temptation to heave came and went with infrequent…
