“Sci-Fine Summer” by Abishai Wafula

Submitted to Contest #99

CW: Pseudoscience, fiction and speculation.DISCLAIMER: This piece is entirely a product of the author’s imagination and should not be used as a basis for any scientific forum.I sat reclining into the comfy back of an old deck chair, watching the golden glamor of sunset in the far horizon. Water rippled and shimmered in the sting of fading twilight light. My weary eyes skied up the optical illusion of a massive ascent of the ocean up to where it exchanged kisses with the heavens. Helios, the god of the sky, was riding at ...

“Lost In Time” by Abishai Wafula

Submitted to Contest #94

“Stand down Commander, that’s an order!” Colonel Salva roared through Commander Nia’s broken earpiece. His voice was a sharp, shrilly and agitated bawl that thumped against Nia’s eardrums hard.

He had his dirty little collection tin ...

She had ocean blue eyes with a magnetic pull emanating behind them. Located somewhere between the heights of social rank and the peak of teenage life; she was riding her youth hard and rocking her world with paranormal vigour.Girlie had a smile of sorts, tantalizing, effortless and vibran...

“Koko's Hut” by Abishai Wafula

Submitted to Contest #92

Koko’s HutDusk was approaching fast; dark, lurking silhouettes of tall mugumo trees and banana trunks in the bushy garden at the back yard of Koko’s ancient hut cast grotesque shadows onto the mud walls. A ginger, dimly powered beam from the sinking omnipotent eye of Were (God’s eye) cascaded its way obliquely amid the stunted cassava stems through an old, creaky, wooden window to provide Koko with her only source of light in the twilight shades.Sinister sounds surro...
