“Can you see me?” The whispered voice asks over our Zoom call. “Yes,” we respond, a continent away. Her video illuminates, revealing a young woman dressed in adventurer’s garb, hiding on a stairwell. Yet, this is no ordinary descent down—the walls are ornamented with taxidermied spiders, various totems, and books. “In 1926, Elizabeth van Leeuwenhart [...]

Renowned hypnotherapist Dr. Seward's voice echoes through the infinitely long room, “Repeat after me, ‘Unless instructed otherwise, I will form perfect memories of recent events.’” The darkness in the corners of the room fades from the rolling sheets of mist. Suddenly, walking outside, odd street signs appear - “Suspicious When Wet… No Right Answers.” Lost [...]

Cyberpunk literature, as a genre, ironically often aims to explore the basic question of what constitutes humanity, while set in a world overrun with synthetic articles. Could binary 1’s and 0’s ever become self-determining? Can something created for labor ever have valid desires beyond its purpose? What rights, if any, should something designed and created [...]

A kind man dressed in a beanie and flannel sits in front of his computer screen. Odd knick-knacks adorn the shelves behind him. “Who believes in ghosts?” he asks those watching him.

The year is 1927. The world is nine years removed from The Great War, and two years away from The Great Crash on Wall Street. Prohibition and organized crime are prominent, and the Yankees are earning the nickname “Murderer’s Row” on their way to assembling the greatest roster in league history. Jazz music fills the [...]

In 1997, the cult-classic space opera The Fifth Element introduced Earthlings to Rudy Rhod, a loquacious intergalactic radio personality with an exotic fashion sense. In a flick filled with flying car chases, hypnotizing arias, and Milla Jovovich karate-chopping aliens, the scenes with the androgynous, quick-talking host may be the most memorable. Entertainment within the worlds [...]

“The thing about the past is, the more we open up to its questions, the more we learn about ourselves”. I click various objects on my screen investigating what I can when my screen changes; a beautiful sketch appears in front of me filled with numerous drawings saturated in color. I stare at it for [...]

I stand with my back to the living room door, eyes closed. There is something here with me, trying to make contact, trying to move through me. It's whispering in my ear, sending little jolts of electricity down my spine. I can almost feel the door pulsating ever so gently. Surely just my own breathing, [...]
