SciFi Challenge!


$1000 for a short sci-fi story! Who wouldn’t want to put in their heads into it?!
Only thing is, these shouldn’t be short, they should be really really short! As in a sentence or two or less! And must be science fiction and must be a story with a beginning and end… or neverending?!. Writing long epics is much easier than this challenge! Well I gave it a shot with a couple of stories here. I need to choose one … and hoping your ideas will help… I don’t mind parting with some of the prize money!


Tired he fell onto the bed. He kept falling.

This galaxy is my gift to you.

Time slowed down on the ship headed for the black hole. It never stopped.

Gordy had never eaten humans before.

Start time. 0 s – nothing. BANG! 10^-43 s – everything.

He said “What the heck?!” and saved God from the Universe.

The sun went nova. It was silent.

Adam said yes. Eve said no. No one could question.

Input: Can entropy be reversed?
Output: ……...analyzing……...

“We’ve just deciphered the cosmic noise! It’s HELP?!”
