My usual #jentacular walk #exploring the castle woods, took an odd turn one night.

A werewolf jumped out from bushes, knocking me down! Fool had no idea, as I pierced his neck with my fangs.
I’m Dracula, & nothing trespasses on my unholy land.#vss365 #scifansat #satsplat
In the dim of the school backroom, the children uncovered a hole in the wall behind musty encyclopedias.

“Ghoul anything?” Aaron asked.
Tabitha sniffed. “Vampire stink.”
“Explore it?”
She grabbed her Rainbow Brite flashlight, he the wooden stakes.#SciFanSat #SlapDashSat
The spaceport bars were full of stories. The cafes served things they had never tasted. But to walk on the streets of a different world, to explore the rivers and jungles, the gravity was hard to get used to. #SciFanSat #explore

The house stood benign in the #jentacular light. Each summer we explored & knew the grounds like the backs of our hands

We knew better than to stay too long. When the shadows grow it's time to leave
I still don't know what's in the dark
But I heard screams once#vss365 #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/Lf71DPeck9
"Got you! I knew there were faeries in the house! Stop wriggling, and tell me what you were… ah, I see. A #jentacular rummage! So THAT's where all the cereal prizes are going. You devious little…"

"Sorry, mister, I just wanted to #explore…"
"Hmm."#vss365 #SciFanSat 05.09
Our exploration of the ancient subway had started well but the morning was different. Waking to darkness, lamps low, a #jentacular hush filled the tunnels as we ate, listening to the guides' superstitious murmur and the distant scrape of bones on concrete. #vss365#SciFanSat

I trace her tracks.
I browse rooms,
of our carnal acts.
I feel her here.
My follicles tingle.
I lust for her life.
I’m a soul mate sock single.
I #explore chests
of drawers.
April’s security holograms glower.
I hopefully,
water her flowers.#Satsplat #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/3hksM8y5Iy
Nora was an #explorer.

She #rode the acid rapids of Atar, won safe passage past Perilous Plains, #slapped the face on Mars.
All with style, #poise and a light #jenticular snack.
And an enormous gun, of course.#SciFanSat #366FF #PenPixels #SaturdaySurvival #BraveWrite #vss365
After we explore the estate, we stand in front of the house and imagine what it looked like in its prime. Ivy has overtaken it, the vines stretching up the stone walls like fingers.

“A pity,” James says.
He raises his hands, and the vines begin to recede.#SatSplat #SciFanSat
His serious demeanor suited him. After all, he was a space explorer! From digging tunnels on Mars to building roads through asteroid belts, he did it all. But his pals knew his playful side, even while jumping on the moon, he liked to play a prank or two.#SlamWords R4#scifansat

Penny broke her fast with a jentacular liquid ration. She was eager to explore the synapses she was growing for her husband's failing brain.

"With unknown threats & unreliable star charts." He maintains his serious demeanor, her gaze drawn to his agile fingers, dancing across controls.

-Hey, hobbits. Up for a quest after breakfast?
— A. A. Rubin (@TheSurrealAri) September 5, 2020
-Some jentacular exploration?
-Yeah sure.
*three hours later…
-Come we must away forthwith.
-No, you said “jentacular.”
-You already ate breakfast.
-Not second breakfast.#vss365 #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/rtZJr62B1X

"Have you been there?"
Luna treated the question fairly as if it alleged she was a long-distance omniscient deity.
"If you mean #explore, I did."
Dino materialized into a grotesque winged figure.
"Do you know what they call me?"
"I whispered your name."#satsplat #scifansat
Ballerina #explores multitudinous #nudiustertian crimes against Earth. She whips these up until frenzied with maniacal spins. They stick to her like a pliable spider web. This glints in starlight as she tosses it off the planet. Only then can it begin forgiving.#SciFanSat #vss365

Declining closure on wool-gathering.
Secluded response lurks in horizon
Remainings whisper in pool of unfinished dots
Waiting on smirk to #explore
what do I really deserve…

#Jentacular tablets left Albin feeling full, but empty. He watched the red sphere from space and thought deeply about frosted flakes.

They let them #explore the galaxy, but the food was far too clever. The pay was bad, and his chances of survival were worse.#vss365 #scifansat

I am continually awed by the talent and creativity of the authors that grace SciFanSat with their voices. Above are highlighted microfiction tweets that I feel exemplify that talent, all compiled from our 09.05.2020 “Explore” prompt and event. The interspersed art is part of the event as well, shared as hints of theme, inspirations, and to set a feeling or tone.
All tweets, art, and rights belong to their respective creators. No ownership or responsibility on my part is inferred by this post, just my admiration.
