Sensor Survey Sampling (VI)

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

111 was in its looped diagnostics. The tickle of quantum vibrations told it 7574 was crossing folded space. 108106 had conveyed the fact but 111 still gleaned it with its curiosity program. It also languished in a spatial daydream about ...

Sensor Survey Sampling (V) (...yes, science fiction...)

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

The creator reached the bridge and settled into the extremely comfortable chair. Once he’d buckled in securely the boom lifted him into the focal point of 7574s’ systems. Two keypads swung up from either side and holographs warmed up just ...

Sensor Survey Sampling (IV)

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

During times of mental meandering 7574 flitted thru mediocre data returned by the SSSBFs from the SSSBs. Damage reports were always numerous and the respective repair reports always went well. Raw materials remained above 92 percent so most fabrications were ...

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

The 3 meter cone neared the fat doughnut of 7574. From 8 billion kilometers out it executed an attitude adjustment of 180 degrees. A new fusion-pill slowly opened up in the thrust trough and steer-braking brought 108106 into a parallel ...

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

SSSB-111-0833 lay in the dock-tube motionless. Thin fluids and gasses bathed over it repeatedly, sterilizing every exposed micron. Both antennae were buried in the deep interface tubes just ahead and the louvers opened and closed at intervals to allow solvents ...

"I Forgot To Spit" (SSS-I)

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

Particles and photons from the nearby star slammed into the surface. They emanated from a little more than a safe distance away. Water would probably stay just be above freezing in the winter and summer evaporation would be just enough ...

I Don't 'Be-Bop', (But Can I ?)

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

We caught another episode of “Hawaii 5 O” the other night. Just before it came on I did a little ‘bebop’ of the theme music. After a few bars I did a drum roll and went on to the next ...

Dishonor, Disrespect, And Disgust

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

Dishonor, Disrespect, and Disgust, these are dark muses that usually accompany many others of negative repose. Anger, sadness, rage, and irrationality are but a few that tend to coalesce in grandeur whenever we are assailed by any of the three ...

Connections, Family

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

I am beginning to make a lot of connections with family members I never knew existed. Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters, Cousins, and even their friends are sending me friend requests on Facebook. I Screen each one carefully and find many ...

For Many Tomorrows To Come

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

For most of my life I settled for less than what I could see everyone else enjoying. I was guilty of envy, of course. I never got the girl at the end of any adventures of the day. Mostly I ...

06:00 CONTRAPTION (Short Story)

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

06:00 CONTRAPTION Now was the moment. He’d labored for months on this. His calipers, digital and manual, had become less and less accurate. His ohm-meters, digital and analog, had strayed out of synch as well. His hands were sore. His ...

Calculations

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

Our lives are ever evolving equations. They start out something like this; (I=> 0). They end up something like this; (I=< 0). We are born, we live, and then we die. All the days, across which we, as the individuals ...

It's 5:40AM

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

It’s 5:40 AM. I have to use the clock in my pocket instead of the clock on the wall. The clock on the wall needs a new battery again. Maybe it’s the terminals. Maybe just worn out, like me. The ...

A Rare Moment

By joseexist in Musings On Muses

In a rare moment I found myself sitting on the couch next to Glenda watching TV. The day had taken its usual physical and mental toll on us both. I had channel surfed a little and then asked her what ...
