Today, we fell down the rabbit-hole of the internet’s list making capabilities, debated the relative merits of every single Doctor Who episode ever made, and wrote over 1000 (and counting!) very short pieces of science fiction.
In response to today’s call for six-word science fiction stories, there were plenty of fantastic entries. Here’s just a few of our favorites:

And, finally, a trilogy + prequel from Audiophile81: Book 1: Touchdown on Europa. Finally, we’re home. Book 2: Wait a sec… this isn’t Europa!?! Book 3: Wanted: interstellar navigator. Must have: ship. Prequel: The Moon seems closer… that’s odd.
