"Melpomene Now" a contest winner
Dear Buffs,
My sci-fi flash fiction Melpomene Now is a winner of the Horizon 2040 Influence & Anarchy contest. It's the story of a family 15 years in the future each engaging with their AI-enabled Muse earpieces and awaiting M Corp's announcement of Muse's latest feature. Society will never be the same. Check it out here: https://horizon-2040.com. It will be published in the Small Wars Journal.

| Gnaturally, this genre bender had me in the first few paragraphs. I love smart characters and Bud and Harper's dialogue was perfect. My one critique is that given how a character picks up the story where the last one dropped it, there could have been ...more | |
