“Lunar Eruption”
The Moon isn’t quite dead.
Constructing the first lunar colonies inside of ancient lava hollows seemed to be wise.
“Foreshadowing” (VSS XV)
Some very short fiction that I originally wrote for Twitter!
The party of urban explorers pushed onward, despite the obvious signs of habitation inside the abandoned brickworks.
And the obvious signs of past violence.
The contents of one of the kilns were especially unsettling.
“Grasping at Straws” (VSS XIII)
A set of very short fiction pieces that I originally wrote for Twitter.
“What was that?”
“The reactor is failing. One of us has to go inside. I don’t want to be stranded halfway to Proxima.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“We can drive the Lunar Roving Vehicle left by Apollo 17 to reach the rendezvous point.”
“You know the batteries in that LRV were dead decades ago.”

“Revolution” (VSS VIII)
A set of very short fiction pieces that I originally wrote for Twitter.
Mr. Forbes seemed off. He was filthy and seemed to have difficulty speaking. There was also a sour odor in his classroom.
He made a list on the board.
Industrial Revolution.
Transportation Revolution.
Technology Revolution.
Undead Revolution.
The children screamed.

“Lament of the Gods”
“We programmed the earth.”
“Lunar Tragedy”
This far from the modules, the Lunar surface was truly a desolate place.
“I just want to go home,” she said.
“Shattering the Moon”
