Act I is done, and Act II starts next Saturday.
Samantha Gulliver, just recently and unexpectedly elevated to the highest position in the technofascist state of Gigaland, falls like Icarus, and the real story begins.
On Saturdays on Substack, we wreck the patriarchy! #booksky

A good write up by an infectious disease doc in rural Md.
“The county health department spokeswoman told me they were caught unawares. ‘We have not been contacted by anyone at state or federal level,’ nor by the county commissioners, she said.”
Standing in a sea of death, bodies littering the floor around her, the great lidless eyes of OptiMAGA call Sam forward to replace a fallen Titan. She steps forward and receives robes smeared with ash and blood and becomes the first woman to ever cast a vote in the Founder’s Forum.

Good one. I have been thinking of pulling together an anthology of my short stories. But I'm still a ways off with the stories I need to do it.
Here's a question.
What are your thoughts on max length (word count) for a short story to be included?

At a minimum, yes. But detention center is not it. It doesn't inherently invoke the inhumanity of the jailers.
14.02.2026 16:16 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Can we come up with a better term than "detention center"? Men, women and children cuddling together in horrible conditions needs a horrible term that shames the fucks that put them there.
We need better words.
One of my favorite romantic adventures with a solid touch of spice! This is absolutely a love story, one I did not even really expect to write.

The Deaths You’re Not Supposed to See - by SJStone substack.com/home/post/p-...
This piece deals with mass death caused not by war or disaster, but by political decisions. These deaths are real, documented, and ongoing — even if they rarely make headlines.
Set in a hyper-optimized, techno-dystopia, Gulliver’s Travels: The Broligarchy follows Samantha Sharp, a journalist, who washes ashore in Gigaland, the last stronghold of algorithmic rule. Here, power is dictated by Influence Scores™, truth is replaced by metrics, and gods are made of code. #booksky
