Week Ten: The Readiness Factor
By Curtis Edmonds
You can read this series from the beginning here. I hate to admit it here, but I missed the last two weeks of August going to a corporate meeting in the Bahamas. This sounds like a corrupt and decadent thing for a progressive to do, but at least I come by it honestly. The family […]

Innocent Victim
By James Wilson
Silence grew around Brittany as she walked. She kept her eyes down, but she could still see faces change to disgust as they noticed her. The whole corridor became deathly quiet and she scarcely dared to breathe. She reached her locker and tried to vanish, but she could feel eyes upon her–every eye. She drew […]
Week Nine: The Anthropomorphic Fallacy
By Curtis Edmonds
You can read this series from the beginning here. "You know what the problem is," Carl said. "Curry-to-naan ratio," I said. Carl and I both liked the same Indian vegetarian place. It was close to the office when we needed a change from brown-bag lunches at our cubicles. The food was decent, but they had […]
The Angry Astronaut Affair
By Leigh Kimmel
By the time Reginald Waite returned home, the darkness of night covered the Houston metropolitan area, a perfect close for a perfectly rotten day. It was supposed to be a routine trip to Pasadena to discuss the specifics of a new model of satellite Antares was taking up next month, but he’d no more than […]

Week Eight: The Mountaineer Scenario
By Curtis Edmonds
You can read this series from the beginning here. It was late on Friday morning, and I had decided it was a lot more fun to Photoshop pictures of Supreme Court justices into chauffeur and butler outfits–to demonstrate their servility to their corporate masters, you understand–than it was to actually read Supreme Court decisions. I […]
