VIOLENT TIDES • by Sagan Yee

October 30, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

General Rasa tilted the battlefield 36 degrees. This made the violet particles representing her army appear liquid, pouring across the holographic basalt to clash with the enemy units pooled below. Victory as subject to gravity, like a shell spine falling… Continue Reading →

THE WAR MOVES FORWARD BY A METER • by A. D. Sui

May 31, 2022Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

The front moved every night and with it moved the war. Shimmering and impenetrable, the front advanced and receded at eleven o’clock, sharp. Without care and concern it crossed birch forest and rivers alike, and split homes where it stopped.… Continue Reading →

AFTER THE CHROMATIC EYE • by Mathew L Reyes

December 18, 2021Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

We held our breaths as we stood in the field. A moment of agonizing silence, and then: The explosion ripped through slate skies. The Marh’uil megalith shuddered. Above, its master engine, the Chromatic Eye, teetered. The grey and grim world… Continue Reading →

THE HOLE • by Tom Javoroski

November 6, 2021Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

Four ranks wide, thirty deep. He could feel the fear of every one of them. Feel it crawling up his back, pressing through the seams of his armor, working through every gasket and seal. It wouldn’t last long, a mayfly… Continue Reading →

FIGHTING FOR THE MOMENT • by Cameron Hunter

October 27, 2021Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

We lived in blinks, a few seconds here or there, never more than a minute. You just pop back into existence, like you’d only been daydreaming. You’re always welcomed by a chemical odor reminiscent of burnt plastic or fat liquefied… Continue Reading →

NAGASAKI • by Karen Peacock

April 30, 2021Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

ANGELS OF MERCY • by L. Mahayla Smith

February 3, 2021Every Day Fiction Leave a Comment

My helicopter crashed into blackness somewhere south of the Imjin River. My whole life didn’t pass before my eyes. Just the scene most worth remembering: Giselle and me strolling through Paris six years ago, November 1945. She wore a red… Continue Reading →
