April 19, 2019 by SM CADMAN

Scales Her breath came in waves that rocked her body in the water, making subtle ripples that disappeared as quickly as they formed.

April 12, 2019 by SM CADMAN

“By the time she reached the bedroom she was completely naked and it seemed right to be standing in the most private of places, a blank slate to be filled with drawings and laughter by a woman who looked as if she hadn’t so much as cracked a smile in years.”

An Android’s Soul By Vito Veii (@VitoVeii) #shortstory #fiction #amwriting #SciFi #AI #robots #tech #Futurism

April 10, 2019 by SM CADMAN

“This short story is about an android who like a human is on a quest to discover if he has a spirit and soul. The android is a metaphor for any human being who has ever asked do I have a spirit? Do I have a soul? And what is the difference between the two? At its core, the android asks what constitutes a human being? There is a whole universe waiting and it’s there inside of you and all around you.”

Cabbage by Mary Breaden One thousand steps to the boats they’d stashed away. The cove where they’d stored the boats was only accessible by steps the men had hammered and pounded into the face of the cliff. Whether the night be stormy or fair, one thousand steps down was what it would take before the rescue could begin. The cove had been named for the Coast Guard Captain’s daughter, a girl who was the curious type; the daughter had been […]
