The Canyon of Smug, @Moonbat – The outlandish morality tale mingles Aesop-esque warnings with quantum metaphysics to produce a cautionary story of how pride cometh before a fall.
The Last Echo of Humanity, @Ajid – By weaving the constraints of the challenge into the story itself, this ‘meta’ tale paints a picture of the destruction of civilisation and a desperate attempt to prevent history from repeating itself.
The Birth of ‘Lectric Lady, @Parson – This madcap origin story is rich with echoes of the golden age of superheroes where outlandish experiments led to special powers and not – as is sadly the case in our reality – certain death.

If we shadows have offended… @TheDustyZebra – A figure, wracked with guilt for some unknown crime, hurls themselves on the mercy of the universe. Only when the echoes of their confession can be heard no longer will they finally be free.
Sins of the Fathers, @The Judge – A lone crusader tracks a bloody path through history in a quest to prevent the children of psychopaths and murderers from following in the footsteps of their fathers.
A Scents of Home, @Mad Alice – This disturbing fairy tale asks just how far you would go to recover the memories of your life. Talk about costing an arm and a leg!
Health Care: Being Realistic About Outcomes, @Ursa major – An orphan, raised by androids after the death of their parents, faces an uncertain future. Why
would robots know how to repair humans?
