Sinopse

In a post-apocalyptic world where survival is a daily struggle, Paul Ehrlich and his father, Justin, have carved out a fragile existence on a remote farm. While Paul toils to keep their small community afloat, Justin is obsessed with his past inventions and the promise of a better future. Tensions flare as Justin's eccentricities disrupt their harsh routine, but a surprising discovery of an advanced machine from a bygone era reignites hope.
 
As the machine begins to show signs of intelligence, Paul and Justin must reconcile their differences to harness its potential, or risk losing everything to the chaos of their new world.

    $1,000 A Plate by Jack McKenty - When Marsy Gras shot off its skyrockets, Mars Observatory gave it the works—fireworks! 
    Sunset on Mars is a pale, washed out, watery sort of procedure that is hardly worth looking at. The shadows of the cactus lengthen, the sun goes down without the slightest hint of color or display and everything is dark. About once a year there is one cloud that turns pink briefly. But even the travel books devote more space describing the new sign adorning the Canal Casino than they do on the sunset. 
    The night sky is something else again. Each new crop of tourists goes to bed at sunrise the day after arrival with stiff necks from looking up all night. The craters of the moons are visible to the naked eye, and even a cheap pair of opera glasses can pick out the buildings of the Deimos Space Station. 
    A typical comment from a sightseer is, "Just think, Fred, we were way up there only twelve hours ago." 
    At fairly frequent intervals, the moons eclipse. The local Chamber of Commerce joins with the gambling casinos to use these occasions as excuses for a celebration. The "Marsy Gras" includes floats, costumes, liquor, women, gambling—and finishes off with a display of fireworks and a stiff note of protest from the nearby Mars Observatory.

    After the catastrophic events of Sunfall, the people of the world no longer trust the use of amulets, viewing them as weapons of evil – When it comes out that Maple Valley’s newly minted “organic superhero” uses these magical artifacts, will they turn their back on her, or will her influence change the masses. 
      
    The Lotus Temple is a beacon of good in the dark despair that hangs over the land. Its app gives true democracy to the hands of the people. At least, that’s what their PR team pushes. Victoria Grey is only their newest angle, a rebranding of their Chosen Program, created to collect amulets and save the world.  
      
    Victoria works hard to fit the mold given to her – Strong, logical, and obedient. But as the amulets work their power over her, she falls deeper and deeper into their temptation. Caught up in the opinions of others and what it takes to be a hero, her steadfast resolve begins to crack, throwing doubt into the minds of those she is sworn to protect.  
      
    With the Temple on her back and her followers turned against her, will Victoria be able to ground her emotions and stick to the goal, or will her own choices be her undoing?

    The Terror From Beyond Mars

    When I was just a little one I would stay up late at night and watch black-and-white B movies with monsters from space, mutants, lab grown terrors, and nightmare beasts. At night I sometimes dreamed about them. In my imagination they lived and grew. I imagined their life cycle, their society, and I tried to understand them because I saw them as tragic heroes in many cases who had never done anything but be themselves. I think they deserve to have more of their story told, even if I have to make it up myself. 
    This is the first in a series of short stories. Each one is inspired by a glorious science fiction or horror B movie from the 50s or 60s. 
    I hope enjoy The Terror From Beyond Mars.
