Sci-fi by Felix

A space for shorter stories

A handful of flashfics, fanfics and vignettes that don't really fit anywhere else.

(Being shorter, some of these I could translate into Romanian as well.)

Microfiction

Last man on Earth

The year is 2028. A drone delivers fast food from an automated restaurant to the top of a corporate tower. A security robot carts it inside, next to dozens of similar packages, all unopened. The last man on Earth, CEO of Final Corp Inc., doesn't get up. He was too busy.

Inherit the Earth

The year is 2028. Discarded smartphones litter the streets, crinkling and crackling as self-driving cars ride over them. Drones circle above, swooping down now and then to perch on a public charge pad. A solar-powered ad flickers, croaking something about Mars colonies.

To hell in a hamper

"The world is going to hell in a hamper," Karen thought to herself, struggling to coax an overfull shopping cart across the supermarket's parking lot, among SUVs that screeched and honked. In the distance, firefighting engines raced, lights flashing.
