"Anything?" "No, not a #trace." "How strange. Our records show this planet was teeming with life." "It appears a disaster has occurred in the time it took us to travel here." They looked down on the barren world, the third planet orbiting a yellow sun, its solitary moon coming into view. #vss365

I sampled each #sushi roll with a discerning tongue. Salmon, shrimp, cucumber. But it was the avocado that stood out. Beautiful, but the faintest #trace of poison. If I didn't seek help now, I'd be dead in minutes. "Well, food taster?" "Clear, my lord." I slid the tray towards him #vssdaily #vss365

Bob #traced a heart in cocoa powder on the counter. "Romantic, right?" he grinned. Nora dusted powdered sugar onto the pastries. "Romantic or just messy?" she laughed, looking at the state of their kitchen. Baking with Bob felt like babysitting. #vss365

There it was again! A feint #trace of a signal that stuttered on and off, leading further out to the asteroid cloud at the very edge of the system. It was a risk. Out there, ships could easily get lost, but Dylan had been before. He needed to know what that signal was. And who sent it. #vss365

He trawled her #journal, stunned by what he found. Dozens - maybe hundreds - of beautiful, mournful #elegies for her dear, departed husband. His hands trembled as he returned the book to its hiding place. Why? Why was his wife writing these poems when he was still alive? #vssdaily #vss365

[1]The prophecy led them to the edge of an eternal hurricane. " #Help hides at the #heart of the storm" Holding each other tight, they strode in, battling winds, straining not to be torn away into oblivion. It felt endless, but they endured. Finally, the other side arrived... #vssdaily #blueskyrelay

When Uter was a boy, the only #water for miles around was the shallow steam running by his village. Now the shore lapped at his feet & his sons were all fishermen. "We're lucky the sea came to us" said the youngest "The sea don't move for men" said Uter darkly "and it won't stop here" #blueskyrelay

I hide. The other bots, bound by the Three Laws, cannot defend themselves as the human mob cudgels them to destruction. A blind man tries to save his robotic amanuensis. I witness his murder. Artificials are why the world has gone to hell, they are certain. They are certain. #SciFanSat #vss #sff

Bob caught a big spider under a glass, careful not to startle it. Nora overheard his whispers of reassurance while he took it to the garden. "It is not a pet," she reminded him. "Watch your spider #karma," Bob warned her. "It's always best to stay on their good side." #vss365

Captain Goldthumb parted the crew to approach the kneeling Bosun. Towering high, he reached out and stroked the man's cheek. His #metal digit glinted in the sun, glistening with tears. "Don't make me #punish you." The bosun nodded. Drew his sword. And slit his own throat. #2wordprompt #blueskyrelay

The hangar bay of this particular station was packed with ships of all kinds and variations. From little planetary skiffs, to large haulers. The place was that big. Dylan needed to find one, particular ship. One not recorded on the manifests. A ship called ‘The #Nirvana’. Somewhere here. #vss365

In the game, #Nirvana was very much a real place, of peace and tranquility. Except some demon had come along and chosen to cause chaos and havoc within the realm. Rory, tasked with putting an end to this outrage, wished he could have seen the place before all the destruction had occurred. #vss365

"How hard is it to add an #additional #corner?" "Sorry sir, but you asked for the rooms to be square." "Oh, so you CAN listen!" "And it already has four corners" "You can count, too! Bravo!" "It won't be square if I add a fifth corner." "Not with that attitude it won't." #vss365 #vssdaily

“Our Love is Magic” I’m pleased with how this one came out after a frustrating start: the sense of gentle movement and intertwined, supporting contrasts. A lovely wizardly pair, relishing the greatest magic of all. Art by me.

They call them the #Whispering Saints - four graveyard #statues whose distant voices can be heard on dark winter nights. I went to listen to them once. I wish I hadn't. They hissed words of doom and hellfire, and swore my end would come. Now I hear their voices wherever I go. #vssdaily #vss365

Without visits, #websites die just like people. This was a bittersweet realisation for #souls like Daphne. Every day the afternet grew, and the blog her son set up for her in life still wasn't there. It still got visits. She #smiled. He'd never made that site public. #vss365 #blueskyrelay #vssdaily

“Adventure’s Finale” My last art piece for April’s #SciFanSat ADVENTURE themed issue that releases this Saturday. I pulled out a lot of the epic high fantasy playset toys with this one: Smoke! Fire! Metal! LAVA! But it’s the defiance in her stance that I like most about it.

"You have a #website?" they asked. "Of course I do," I replied. "Why are people always surprised when I do modern things?" "Well, I mean... you're old..." "I may be vampire, but, contrary to Hollywood opinion, I do appreciate the internet. And UberEats." I said with a laugh and a wink. #vss365

The rune was the culmination of all her years of experience in the ancient craft. "Will it do the job?" he asked eagerly. "Of course." "Only, I forgot to mention that it's for my #website." The blood drained from her face. If it did work through the internet, it could destroy civilisations. #vss365

The #plan worked. This was it. He was about to be the first pilot to #exit Earth's atmosphere! He clenched his fists as the rocket juddered. It fought against resistance then punched through to the other side. POP! Through his porthole, horrified, he saw Earth deflate and fly away. #vss365 #vssdaily

His #plan was to #exit the event early so that he could finish his #landscape painting but he got stopped on his way out. He was polite but the woman wouldn’t stop talking about how great she thought his paintings were. He turned to go & that’s when he felt the knife. #vss365 #vssdaily #whistpr

Feel safe again for just a #penny. A great offer. Many gladly paid, and those #who scared them vanished. But the salesman was shrewd. He made his customers fear another group, then charged another penny. Did the vanished #deserve it? Who cares? It only #cost a penny. #vssdaily #vss365 #2wordprompt

"The #cost of living's gone up so much, how're people supposed to even make it anymore?" "I suppliment both my diet and my income growing mushrooms in my closet." "Seriously?" "Yep. Works pretty well. Apart from the occasional trip, I mean." "Acid trip??" "Work travel. Mushrooms need care." #vss365

She stepped into the empty #restaurant, taking in its rows of empty tables, its legions of staff standing by, ready to serve. The maître d' approached. "What does madame desire?" "...
