Combining a secret obsession and sci-fi

Hello my Dearest Readers!

This week I want to introduce you to my favorite short story I wrote.

I think I’ve mentioned the 12 Stories in 12 Months challenge before. Regardless, it’s a challenge to write a short story every month inspired by a prompt. This story comes from one of those challenges.

The prompt was ‘DELETE’.

And I thought some speculative fiction is the thing.

What do I have such a secret love for? NOTEBOOKS! Yeah, I love notebooks more than I can fill it. Even though I’ve made an agreement with myself to fill those I have first with whatever, burn them when full and start filling up a new one.

‘The horror!! What do you mean you burn them?’ That’s usually the reaction I get when I tell people, I burn my full notebooks.

It’s cathartic. You should try it. Maybe when I burn one again, I’ll tell you all about it.

Anyways back to the story.

Friday’s Blog A Story, is about the role notebooks played in an experiment that has the potential to have devastating effects. It’s playing the role of a sort of kill code.

‘Notebooks’ is a scene from a story that could probably be a proper sci-fi story and can go anywhere. I’ve never played with the possibilities before. I’m not sure I’ll do soon. But I could.

It could probably build into a sci-fi with romantic elements or it can keep to hard-core science. Who knows!

Look out for ‘Notebooks’ tomorrow as part of my Blog A Story series. Let me know what you think. Love it? Hate it? Do you think it could work as a bigger story?

Imagine if I can write it based on your suggestions. That will be fun.

Anyways…

That’s it for now.

Until next time!
