Atoms
by James S. Dorr
"They died, sure," Commander Robertson said.
He stood on the bridge of Admiral Yanov's own ship, the Padronix,
wishing he'd had a chance to change from his tattered uniform. "The
problem was, it wasn't enough. They still wouldn't give up."
The
Mythic Pixecide by L. Christopher DelGuercio
Youve heard all the stories--perhaps even half-heartedly tried
it yourself alone at night, despite the warnings. Its legend lives on
even as the act itself has vanished into antiquity.
But know that it occurred. Know that at one time, it existed.
No ones terribly certain when the rumor began but rumor has
it, it spread faster than rumor itself. Faster than any ordinary rumor
at least. This one traveled at light-rumor speed and we sucked in the
trail of sweet gasoline exhaust like mothers milk. Both parts
ridiculous and delicious, the rumor grew into myth, the myth to legend,
and the legend was all awful truth.
Did you hear about what happened on TV?
I did. I watched it all go down, every blood-soaked second. I lived
through it, lived with it, and lived for it all at the same time. This
is my testimony.
