#FiftyWords — A Speculative Fiction Challenge

Years ago, I entered a 50-word horror contest. I didn’t win.
I did write ten stories I’m still proud of.

Fifty words is merciless. No padding. No mercy. Only story.

Join me. If you dare.

ALWAYS NOW

Photons exist in an unusual state: ageless and unchanging, because their speed puts them beyond the personal conception of time.

Born in stars, they may exist there for millions of years before escaping into space!

FIGHTIN' WORDS...

I hate that there are so many experts out there who feel it necessary to offer their opinions in empty forums.

When I look for their words to hear them discussing ideas, I find nothing but their hollow advertising from boilerplates.

Present your arguments, not just your ads.

Transatlantic Slave Trade: 12,000 ships, 12.5 million Africans

When I tell you America is built in cruelty, this is where I start.

It does not take into account the atrocities caused to the Native Americans, which were their own nightmare.

Utopia is sold as the ideal state for a civilization and Solarpunk stories focus on their processes but that's not the whole story...

In 2015, Apple paid China $55 billion dollars per year, on their business concerns, training, machines, manufacturing jobs.

Apple is investing a quadruple of what anyone is investing in the US, in China.

I wish the legacy media would talk about the fact that almost no one under 40 can buy a house, insurance premiums are set to skyrocket, and most Americans are living from paycheck to paycheck instead of *checks notes* the finer feelings of billionaires.

“It was truly devastating” to lose funding for the Solar for All program when the Trump administration clawed back clean energy investments, Clementine Howard said. “We saw this as a way to make a life-changing difference to folks in the Mississippi Delta.”

Every state that does this should have a running disease and infection status marker for its localized afflictions.

These diseases will spread but people should know just how stupid their state is and how many people are dying from their fear of science.

Yes, Virginia, stupidity CAN kill you.

Add this to the list of excellent but never answered questions from this administration.

Each statement they make obliterates a previously told lie.

They are cruel, white nationalists, with evangelical Dominionist aspirations. They don't care about you or anything you hold dear.

TIKTOKER SHOT BY ICE HAS INDICTMENT THROWN OUT

Carlitos Ricardo Parias was shot in the elbow by ICE during an immigration arrest in October.

A judge tossed the indictment after finding the government violated his constitutional rights, and it looks intentional.

Just sent out this piece about the Trump-Zelensky-Putin pantomime yesterday. People who think this brought peace closer cannot face the truth. This meeting was a continuation of Trump's efforts to help Putin and demean Ukraine. And he succeeded. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
Why the Pantomime? Its Always Been About Defending Putin
And Perhaps Getting A Nobel Prize

Along with the racist fake grievance of "apologizing for being white," there's also the fact that a bunch of white folks seem to believe (and/or are willing to suggest) that even acknowledging systemic advantages they get for being white is the equivalent of being "forced to apologize."
Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.
