The year is 2120-something and a man by name of Samuel Snodbarker has created a device that allows him to stop time around him, allowing him to walk among the masses undetected or inhibited. It’s a handy invention, creating many opportunities for Samuel to enrich himself. But as an avid conspiracy theorist Samuel only has […]Continue Reading

One […]Continue Reading
Telepathy Man
The year is 2130-something. And technologist/scientist professor Yazoo has developed a nanotechnology that allows him to secretly connect his brain to others by releasing small nano bots that enter sleeping subjects heads while they sleep and implant within their brains.

Frozen Zombies
Today’s idea was inspired by a very typical conversation in our office. The year is 2203 and the zombie apocalypse has essentially come and passed – at least temporarily.

The idea of multiple dimensions and realities
I’ve had an idea for some time for a story about a guy who somehow comes into possession of a device that allows him split his life into multiple dimensions, giving him the ability to essentially live multiple lives. It’s logistically a complicated concept. How would he move from dimension to dimension? Would life stop […]Continue Reading
