It's 8:45 the next morning and I'm anxious for Stephanie to show up. I have everything ready so that she can get into the machine for the first time. I don't want to put myself into the machine too so that I can monitor the program though I really wish I was going in too. And, after yesterday's experience, I expect this to work well. I think about Stephanie...
"Jeff's coming with me." "Are you sure that's a good idea? This is supposed to be between you and your mother. In addition to working out the wedding it's supposed to bring you closer to her." "Jeff's coming with me." My tone was different from the first time I said it. She understood. "Jeff has a plan?" she said. "Judo." Sunny hesitated briefly and the...
Global food shortages brought about by rampant overpopulation in the 2020s brought humanity to the brink of collapse. By 2028, scientists predicted that unless we, as a species, could bring the population down below 4 billion by 2045, humans would face certain extinction. The world burned, and for half a decade, civil war and strife reigned as governments tr...

Qwerty was looking around in the queue for CPU time. He was looking for Kay9, the single most beautiful program ever made. She was an encryption program, made entirely in assembly language. She was the most slender one of all programs in the computer, and boy, was she fast. She encrypted files faster than Qwerty could see, and he heard she compiled in a tent...
The Avatars' Ball Thanks to Todger 65 for the edit. Hangar 14's design reflected the dieselpunk style of the others. It was one of several specifically designed for A.I maintenance and transfer. Tractor 57 led the shuttle into 14 and demagnetized the towbar. "Here we are, nice and cozy. Remember to open your access ports to the utility arms. Good luck...
Sheila - synthetic, humanoid, enlightened, inquisitive, living, android ***** I awoke with a jerk then regretted it as the back of my neck started to throb. Getting up I could see that I had fallen asleep on the key board. Looking around after relieving myself I was a little concerned as to where Sheila was.

Another one I spit out while a touch intoxicated. It's too similar to other stories I've published to pursue further, so I'm pretty much laying it out there as-is. Forgive the inevitable errors. A Sluttier America It only started ten years ago or so, but the problem had already escalated to unsustainable levels. Men, across the nation, were becoming less a...
Dear Sirs, A few months ago my husband and I looked at all different brands of the vibration platform physical fitness machines displayed at a Baby Boomer Show.
