Description:Lucky and other stories Lucky Lucky is alien. Yep, she really is an alien. Long, long ago, there was war in the heart of the galaxy. The core stars were ripped apart by the fury of that conflict. Lucky is a survivor from it; she is lucky to even exist. Her people, the flowing people, were destroyed by the measuring people.Few of the places she once knew can now support life. She has been a refugee since, drifting from star to star, in a half-life of suspended animation, known as slowtime.The Expedient charts a careful course, ploughing its lonely furrow between the stars, always away from what she once knew, ever alert for signs of the measuring people. She'd stop running but it's now all she knows. Eventually her ship comes upon a back-water of the Milky Way, known locally as Orion’s Belt.After School Civilisation is collapsing, even in the UK. But why? Do you really need to know? Just accept it's on the cards. Okay, think back to biology class where a petri dish was used to constrain the growth of fungus on damp & mouldy bread. This demonstrates the cycle of growth with limited resource. So let's explore the collapse of civilisation, shall we?Writing Day – a tale of the last library on Earth.The progress of technology provides us with interesting choices. Some of these are mind-numbingly scary; for example, the dissemination of knowledge is coming to depend increasingly on online access. Take away that access and what happens? The same as when a MMORPG has an outage. So what happens if servers are destroyed? Could that be a potential disaster? And as libraries, the physical repositories of knowledge, are dumbed down... where’s the back stop? When knowledge is destroyed, the societies they serve are destroyed with them. The Romans proved this when they slaughtered the bards at Anglesey. Bards embodied the culture and values of pre-literate Britain. Writing Day isn’t about bards, yet there are parallels.Joe and the XenophidsHumanity are next up on the extinction list. The Earth has been overrun by xenophids – giant sized creatures from outer-space. Joe is trying to contact survivors and he’s looking for them in the Appalachians. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, yet not everyone he meets is pulling the same way. First Contact with a vengeance.Flower to Tree, a prequel to Joe.Flower to Tree is a human colony.
