**Contains violence and death in a disturbing dystopian world**Good morning. You may address me as Instructor. Please take your seats, was written on the blackboard.A man in a white jumpsuit adorned with medals stood before the board with his hands clasped behind his back and watched the students file in. When they seemed ready, he began the class with a question."How many lives does an E-Fighter have? Some have only one, you see, and that leads to the next question. How many lives do
Outstanding reviews
Thank you Michal! I think you spend more time writing these genuinely wonderful critiques than you spend writing your equally wonderful stories, but know that every word is appreciated.
I love a good sci-fi rebellion story, so this was right up my street. Very dark in tone. I was looking forwards to learning more about the Titanians: would have been some cool intelligent lifeforms able to evolve in that methane soup of an atmosphere. But alas, it's AI telling fibs, according to the instructor at least! Yes, I'm holding out hope that Titanian warlords are a thing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks M.A. ! (:
This reminded me of Ender's Game, but a lot darker. On the one hand it's hard to imagine living in a world that has stripped everything enjoyable and unique out of life, but on the other hand, it's believable that something like this could happen in at least part of the world. Scary thoughts, but a good read!
Thanks for reading, Kailani! 😊
IMPRESSIVE! What an incredible world you build in such a short time! 🧐 Is this a novel in the making?
I have two fantasy romances in the works with storylines of romantic bliss in the foreground while “something wicked this way comes” builds up in the background. Thank you, Shirley! 😊
No one has their tastebuds. That's a good insight into this world and how they try to control people. Or maybe the school removed them? It would be interesting to expand this into a series or book.
Thanks for reading, Michele! Yeah, something about extreme fear, strips away your tastebuds. Not forever. Just until you heal.
Karen, I am really impressed with how much world building you managed to fit into a short story. I feel like it's sandwiched well between dialogue and showing, so that it doesn't fell like too much telling. It's a very interesting concept as well. It definitely gives me "86" vibes, if you have ever watched the anime. If you haven't you should give it a go. Especially if mecha sci fi interests you. I enjoyed this, thank you for the story!
Thanks Danie, I especially enjoyed your story this prompt as well! 😊
Karen, lots of thrills and chills here! Not so far fetched insome respects. I worked at a hospital that had what they called robots doing the menial labor that humans performed back in the day. A very imaginative look into what maybe our future.
Thank you, Judith! 😊 While I do hope that is not our future, I sometimes take short vacations away from everyone's opinions on the news! Of course, that's another story. (:
Turn complacency into rage. Today's lesson?
Thanks, Mary!😊
