I mean, ‘Leisurely Apocalypse’ is just what it says in the tin. But that applies to both words, too. You might not be surprised to hear that people inside the universe aren’t exactly panicking. At least, not yet.
In “The Universe Is Always An Empty Place,” I imagine that they are. Nobody ever asks deathworlders if they like being that way. Probably because what would they do if we said ‘yes?’
The truth in “It’s Better This Way, Really” is brutal, and many people in that world resist it. But the Cold Equations of situational mathematics are clear. Things have to be the way that they are.
Stories! Microfiction! Gaming material! Only a dollar a month! But you can give me more*! The more I get, the more I can do! It’s really in your vested interest! PATREON!
…Sorry about that, but a lot of what I worked on today involved how best to advertise my stuff in 2022. This is a year where I need to ramp stuff up, as it were. I spent a year learning, and another year refining what I learned; now it’s time to apply the knowledge.

*If you are already giving, you do not have to give me more.
‘Rust’ is kind of philosophical, and it originally had a story of some moral urgency attached to it. I think. I don’t actually remember, at this point.
Yeah, that particular method in ‘Personal Thaumaturgical Choice’ does sound kind of awful. The kind of awful that ensures that the mages who use it don’t ever seem to successfully surrender. Real fight-to-the-death types, those.
Heh. You get the feeling that the protagonist in “One Chance” has had this happen before, and is now thinking of doing a few Horrible Examples to discourage it from happening in the future. Can’t say that I blame him. Death cultists must be exceedingly tedious to be around.
I kinda wish NaNoWriMo wasn’t in November.
