Lovecraftian Mushrooms
Deciding that a morning dose of mushrooms was a brilliant notion, he drank the thick sludge in three large gulps. As the effects slowly took hold, he found himself undertaking another task, altering his Woobie to accommodate more versatile mountain pants. Despite ample space in his backpack, he was gripped by the urge to minimize, […]
The Mysterious Campsite Caper
The dark woods whispered with the secrets of countless shadows, and the air was thick with uncertainty. Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and their lovable Great Dane, Scooby-Doo, found themselves wandering through the tangled undergrowth, each step a symphony of breaking twigs and rustling leaves. “Like, are you sure we’re going the right way, Scoob?” Shaggy’s […]
Stellar Drones: Chapter 1

Most people understood that NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, were going to be important for personal identification, medical records, and ownership of real-world items. Personally, I had hoped to issue Kindle-like digital books as NFTs and found Ethereum’s […]
Doc Roach
Dr. Aldo Betta stared at the glass enclosure where the cockroach moved with deliberate precision across a small branch. Delicate circuitry glinted on its carapace under the laboratory lights, a marvel of bioengineering barely the size of an SD card. The device represented years of painstaking work, the culmination of his research into neural interfaces. […]
Summon the Wind
The wizard climbed to the top of the rocky bluff overlooking the seaside village far below. If his calculations were right, this would be the place. He stood straight, raised his arms to either side and brought them together in front of him, holding the mighty staff in both hands. He watched the setting sun […]
