Six Word Sci Fi

October 26th, 2006 § 0 comments

Ala Very Short Stories, from Wired. My feeble attempts, which seem mostly like Philip K. Dick writing The Onion headlines.

Tomorrow isn’t the utopia we expected.
Righteous man framed. Evil clone blamed.
Sentient robot weeps before murdering creator.
FTL proven to cause mass psychosis.
Bumbling robot sidekick reprogrammed into tyrant.
Aliens ponder Earth genocide, AETP * protests.
Time traveller spoils story for everyone.
2006. Where are the flying cars?
Colonists versus hostile planet – spaceship wins.
Spores infect electoral college. Nobody notices.
Influenza wipes out humanity. Cause? Eugenics.
Doomsday clock found ten minutes fast.

* Aliens for the Ethical Treatment of People. I’m lame, I know.
