All Tomorrow's Lives
I am in Colorado, flying above the forest. This body extension is a drone, and I hover above the beginnings of the wildfire that will burn an area the size of Manhattan. There is a plume of black smoke, and the air has become turbulent. Twenty people will die in this fire, most of them firefighters. I can only assume this is the best outcome. I have no access to the information in my past, but if I were to judge by the mobilisation of crews here to fight it, and its proximity to the town of Kittredge, I believe it could have been a high-casualty event.

A Future Foretold
I’ve always felt that the best stories aren’t too far from the truth. There’s a quality to the truth that is equal parts beguiling and enthralling.

You just behave yourself and I'm sure you'll have a great time with Juno" Dad grimaced. We got out of the car. I made sure I remembered my bag which had all my essential items in it. We followed Mum up the little path to the door of the house, and I hid behind her skirt as she rang the doorbell. The door was flung open immediately and there stood the massive Juno, taller than my Dad, wearing brown slacks and a green hand knitted jumper. Str...
