As per “And Don’t Come Back:” i find that, as I get older, I get just a little less tolerant of letting bygones be bygones. Sometimes you just can’t let things get away with things. Even if it’s the utilitarian answer.

Patreon Microfiction: ‘Smuggling Run.’
Didn’t I put up “Smuggling Run” run already? I could have sworn that I had – but it’s not in my files here. Ah, well.
Patreon Microfiction: ‘Changes in Taste.’
As “Changes In Taste” suggests, it must really suck in the modern world if your self-identity is esoterically dependent on humanity’s collective vision of you. No wonder most contemporary fantasy is so gritty, really. Nobody’s even taking the trouble to give them any metaphysical aspirin.

Patreon Microfiction: Alone.
Microfiction: “Billions and Billions.”
“Billions and Billions” demonstrates why you should always ask about the fine details. Also, the importance of remembering that not everything’s a nihilist. Many fictional nihilists make this mistake, honestly.
PATREON/PATREON-PATREON! (Imagine that’s in harmony)
Microfiction: ‘One Small Lurch For Man.’
“One Small Lurch For Man” is a little weird, but… OK, it’s very weird. But, when you think about it: what’s the biggest problem when it comes to manned interstellar exploration, in an universe without faster-than-light travel? Exactly. Wouldn’t they honestly be better choices when it comes to making the trip?

Patreon Microfiction: “A Rocky Start.”
“A Rocky Start” is, in its way, hopeful. Why is it that we assume that Good is the only one that can screw things up, after all? Evil is just as capable of producing embarrassing congenital screw-ups, after all.
Patreon! Patreon! PA-TRE-ON!
Patreon Microfiction: “Open For Armageddon.”
“Open for Armageddon” was inspired by this:

…and I don’t think that the Tweet oversells it. I dunno who took that photo, but he or she was a goram artist.
PATREON! We’re back below the $150 level again! Gotta get that back up!
Patreon Microfiction: ‘This Is Too Easy.’
I suppose that literary situations like “This Is Too Easy” aren’t common because they’re not very dramatic, are they? How do you get an entire book out of people realizing in time that they’re being messed with? Honestly, 100 words seems to be about right for that sort of thing.
Patreon! Need to get it back up over $150/month! Check it out!
Extra Microfiction at Patreon: ‘The Adventure of the Tekeli-li Graveyard.’
‘The Adventure of the Tekeli-li Graveyard‘ was written partially because of a little Fiction Friday challenge over at Phantom Sway — but mostly because I gotta push the Patreon again this month to get the total above $150 a month, again. So I figure that it’s worth it as, hey, an investment or something. So, hey, tell your friends. It’s a great time to get in on the ground floor!
