[Victoria Silverwolf]

IntoTheBlack: This intense, impressionistic portrait of a unique character offers a cautionary tale of losing one's humanity in pursuit of something more.

Trying to come up with an entry. The theme has a bit of a plug in my brain...

How about something to do with a plug-in brain? That's cyberpunky!

 

[Parson]

@IntoTheBlack .... Missing, gone, but why? .... ITB writes us a story which reminds us that for every gain there is also a loss so you must determine which is more important.

 

[mosaix]

I'm off to look up the technical definition

I'm in. I looked it up again. Still not sure it helped.

Now for the 100.

 

[IntoTheBlack]

A big thank you to @Victoria Silverwolf and @Parson for the fantastic comments.

 

[Peter V]

Now for the 100.

 

[Karn's Return]

Well...it's in...

 

[Parson]

@mosaix .... A Quiet Day on the Beach .... Mosaix writes us a story of desired and surprising expectations.

@Karn's Return .... When the ELF Waves... .... Karn writes us a story which leaves us looking both ways for a sneak attack.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

mosaix: With an unexpected touch of irony, the author shows us how small irritations can ruin even the most pleasant experience.

Karn's Return: This cautionary tale warns the reader of the fragility of advanced technology when faced with malevolence.

Hugh: The dangers inherent in pursuing one's desires beyond the point of reason are vividly brought to life in this horror story of the future.

 

[Parson]

@Hugh .... Not Your Usual Succubi..... .... Hugh tells us a story of a deadly virtual reality.

A really good place to start

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Perpetual Man: This intense narrative of agonizing loss powerfully conveys the terror of one's identity being taken away.

Laura R Hepworth: With great wit, the author translates a familiar tale into a story of the future, demonstrating how technology can seem like enchantment.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

J.C. Scoberg: This hallucinatory vision shows how the desire for liberty can be hidden, but not destroyed.

 

[J.C. Scoberg]

A massive thank you to @Victoria Silverwolf for the review (my first on Chrons)

 

[Parson]

@Perpetual Man .... Irrelevant .... Perp Man writes us a story about a virtually real hell.

@Laura R Hepworth .... Signal Interruption .... Laura writes us a story which reminds us that virtual trouble is real trouble even if, maybe especially if, your tech let's you construct and run a space elevator.

@J.C. Scoberg .... The Whole E-Mail .... J.C. writes us a story which points to human joy and creativity in an age where human becomes a difficult concept.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

LittleStar: This tragic tale of love and loss proves how some things can never be replaced.

 

[Mr Orange]

Well I'm in, but jeez it was a struggle. Not the idea, that was quick but trying to batter it into something intelligible was very difficult. Not sure i even managed it in the end either.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Mr Orange: This subtle speculation of a possible future points out that all sentience demands freedom.

 

[Mr Orange]

Cheers for the review @Victoria Silverwolf. Much appreciated as always.

 

[Parson]

@LittleStar .... Hollow .... LittleStar writes us a story which captures the voice of one who has loved and lost in a real and virtual world.

@Mr Orange .... Viva las Maquinas .... writes us a story which leaves me wondering if something horrible is about to happen.
