THE INTERCEPT PROTOCOL: THE DESPERATE 50-YEAR CHASE AFTER THE 3I/ATLAS ANOMALY
The narrative is cracking. For months, the mainstream scientific community has been trying to calm the public. They watched the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS enter our Solar System, vent a toxic cloud of cyanide, and leave behind a wake of heavy, unexplained debris. They smiled for the cameras and called it a "fascinating natural phenomenon." They told us to wave goodbye to the deep space anomaly as it faded into the cosmic dark.

Made for Love. Content Warning.
2086 — Tokiton, Eurasia. I open my eyes for the very first time. I take a look around. I can assume I am at a laboratory — pale white walls, big screens emitting blue light while displaying codes all over, at least five holo-boards with calculations written on them. And many, many silvery robot arms like a spider queen hovering above my face. What's a spider?

Within Parameters
By the time the bell rang for third shift, everyone was already quiet. Not the kind of quiet that comes from discipline. The kind that settles into a body, into bone and muscle, because noise has proven, over and over again, to be a mistake.

The Zombie
A Zombie shuffled through the streets. A yellow moon hung overhead. Trick or treaters were going house to house, with bags and pails in hand, spouting their mantra.

The Sound the Sky Was Making
The sky had been humming for three days. Not loudly. Not enough to interrupt conversation. Just a low, steady vibration, like an appliance left running in another room. You couldn’t hear it so much as feel it—behind the teeth, in the bones of the wrists.

Stealing Dreams
"I'm gonna be the best Dreamster ever," my best friend, Joe, informed me. Just like that. I didn't even know he had any interest.

Rules And Ruler(s). Content Warning.
I have got twelve inches, but I do not normally use it as a rule. That was a typical joke that he used in his speeches, and everybody laughed. Not because they found it funny, but because they knew that was the rule.

Tomorrow: February 17, 2026: Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse
Tomorrow: February 17, 2026: Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse On this date, the Moon will be at apogee—its farthest point from Earth—making it appear slightly smaller than the Sun. Because of this, it won’t completely block the Sun, leaving a brilliant ring of light glowing around the Moon for several unforgettable minutes.

Grief in the Age of Flight
I float above the chrome and glass canyon, my personal drone humming its lonely tune beneath me. Below, the morning crowds surge through the boulevards, humans in their aerial pods, weaving between the towers like schools of metallic fish. I used to find it beautiful, this ballet of flight. Now it just feels empty.

The Eternals
It was a cold and windy night as 3 men drove down an isolated country road in an old dark sedan, yet even with the strong winds trying to push through the car windows the night was clear with a full moon lighting the way.
