Swanson's Short Story: The Man And The Machine

“Attention attention! All citizens, whether you reside on Mars or Earth, Chief Kip has an announcement to make.” The host of technology’s voice echoed throughout Cleo’s large flat as all of the ITime clocks flickered from showing the time to showing Chief Kip. Cleo got up from his desk and made his way to Marci who was in the living room. Chief Kip had only been the ruler of Earth for one-ninth of a Mars Cycle (MC), but he had made at least eleven ‘important announcements’ and every time all of the ITime clocks turned to the news channel to ensure that every citizen would have to hear if not see the announcement, but Cleo had thought of them as mundane ever since they became more about Chief Kip and less about the people whom he was supposed to govern.

Only one more thing that Timmy Tee Tee had to cross off his bucket list was the Trojan War. So he penetrates in the time machine and saw the button he installed. Only the words Trojan War were on it.

Gary Milton. The name that had risen dripping from the pit of poverty to the international acclaim of an award-winning scientist. Gary smiled wryly and wondered how the papers might describe the pit of his indulgence and too much money, if they wrote anything about him anymore. His once-slim frame was hard pressed to fit into the reflection of the full length mirror; his girth glooped continually out of the image and gave his likeness the appearance of a roll of dough with the sides cut off. He turned away, and his bulk bounced gelatinously as he descended the stairs and squeezed into his car.

An essay on the subject "A Chatterbox." A chatterbox, what can you write about that? I'd worry about that later, I decided.

When Bilbo opened his eyes, he wondered if it was as dark as it was with his eyes shut. Bilbo couldn’t hear, see, or feel anything but the stone of the floor. Bilbo got up until he touched the wall of the tunnel. He couldn’t find anything up or down, no signs of goblins or dwarves. Bilbo was far from certain even of the direction they had been going in when he fell.

you get the BUZZZZZ”, the entire hangar would shake and rattle, driving me insane. With a tight grip on the test, and corresponding paperwork instructions in one hand, my cell phone in the other, I was frantically flipping through page after page of information on my screen. My phone was clearly the only link to any logic; apparently mine had failed. The microscopic lettering on the paper instructions might have well been in Greek. As the beads of sweat crawled like ants down my temples, and dripped onto my grease covered Carharts, I felt the chew in my lip turn from satisfying, to a brick of cotton in my panic.
