Finite Creativity (V)

Pickleateo was bored – it was only noon and he’d started work barely an hour ago but he was tired of painting portraits. What else could he do though – the Governor had put him on a retainer to paint portraits. Every so often, when his eye fell on a new conquest, he’d get to know her on the pretext...

Finite Creativity (IV)

Oorgsten was stunned. He had sent a little piece of search software into his Universe to start looking for entries for the next awards - after all, half a millenium was over, and it took a while to sort through the work and write up some nice entries. He was determined to win this time - and that... Sign in to see full entry.

Finite Creativity(III)

The brief from the Ministry of the Interior arrived promptly, and Oorgsten absorbed it and then dived into his database to analyse his Universe against the research requirements. He started picking out two samples at every level of intelligence right up to thirty - all individual consciousness, of... Sign in to see full entry.

Finite Creativity(II)

Several bottles of wine and multiple viewings later, Oorgsten was no wiser. A lot of the award winning stuff from previous years looked trite and stale to him - though he was smart enough to recognise that this was probably his own bias. Some of it may have been in how the entries were written -... Sign in to see full entry.

Finite Creativity (I)

Oorgsten was on the edge of his seat. This was it, the moment he had been waiting for. The lights were dimmed, people had abandoned their dessert and wine, and all eyes were on the stage. The Millenial Inter-Universe Awards were about to reach their climax - the nominees for Most Creative Creations... Sign in to see full entry.

The Hunter and the Hunted

A hunter’s paradise – that’s how the brochures had always described this island. It was a beautiful place – over a hundred square kilometers of moderately dense forest, a few low hills, and right at the centre of the island, a larger hill with an unobstructed view of the entire island. Right at the... Sign in to see full entry.

Happily Ever After

Living forever is all good and fine, but have you considered the consequences? I mean, forever – that’s a pretty good chunk of time you know. Basically, it never ends… EVER! That sucks! That is why our summer project from school was all about ways to keep yourself occupied for eternity – and the... Sign in to see full entry.

Representative Sample

“I could have sworn I put it right here,” I muttered impatiently to myself as I frantically searched for my keys. I was already running late for an appointment and the last thing I needed was to misplace my keys – especially when the only place they could be was on top of the big glass-top table in...

Last of its kind

The crowds jostled for a better position in front of the enclosure. Young ones were carried on their parent's shoulders and told to keep quiet to keep from scaring the latest addition to the Central Zoo of Arcturon. Somewhere a child threw some nuts into the enclosure and received a curt admontion... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone Can Be King (Part VII)

Apparently, three days passed in the outside world while I was in the cavern with Shreith - or the apparition that looked like Shreith. When I returned to my dormant body a huge crowd had assembled. The barman had become concerned about me and came out looking for me. When he saw me in a trance he... Sign in to see full entry.
