I laughed at the floating zero on the Japanese dark web. The curse said my life was now gone.

I’m still here.
But now my apartment isn’t mine.
My boyfriend doesn’t know me.
Mom doesn’t know me.
My job. My bank. My license is blank.
All now null.
0.#SciFanSat #SlapDashSat

“But your blood, need a taste.”
“Grr, what kind of monster are you?”
“Kind that drinks blood.”
“Yes, but your manners are #null! At least wait for me to digest the pizza boy fully; I’m a bit teenager intolerant.”#Scifansat#Satsplat
They watched the ship disappear into null space, swallowed like a stone in water, a ghost of a ghost on the screen. #SciFanSat #null

And in the beginning, there was nothing. Humanity existed without an iota of emotion. People didn't smile, didn't cry. It was then that a comet went over the skies, its tail sprinkling a bouquet of emotions on Earth, sent as a gift by the cosmos.#vss365 #agelast#SciFanSat #null

When eyelashes become paintbrushes for the dead and all the colours guarding your carousel of demons fall null, do not lay weak. We are not powerless.

An agelast monster

Grimly it stares and then, flash!
You are a null set#SciFanSat #satsplat #scifaikusaturday #vss365
The hope for peace. A pipedream at best, but the treaty is null & void now. We knew the Others would never honour their side of the bargain. The #agelast bastards snatch more of us each day. Their desires are monstrous

It's time to run again#vss365 #SciFanSat #SatSplat #SciFiFri
The crew searched for signs of life, although there were physical signs – breathing, blinking,. There were no bonding signs like love or laughter. They decided there was #null prospect of progress. Turning to hyperdrive they escaped #agelast hell#SciFanSat #vss365

It doesn’t matter what the others say. My device is a miracle. By nullifying every individual’s will, it makes all of us one. When it is activated, we will all become participants in the Oversoul. No more division.

They would thank me if they understood.#SciFanSat #SatSplat
His #agelast visage stared at the wall-screen, the image of the spread speeded up, years compressed into seconds. Scratching my marker across the board, I drew him. I followed the contours of his reaction, the tiny cracks in the null he presented to the world. #vss365#scifansat

Realizing that the planet's flora was emitting a signal, they nulled it by emitting their own.

A deathly silence engulfed the surface. The tremors began. And then…
muzzle flash
a glimpse in the dark
of oil-black scales#SciFanSat #SciFaiKuSaturday
Ballerina may be mute, but she's no #agelast. She laughs loud & often, never more than in death. There had been so many mortal monsters. It was difficult to distinguish when walking among them.

She leaps into life.
Her slippers render theirs #null.#SciFanSat #vss365 #SatSplat

An alien's giggle flashed
The agelast orb laughed#vss365 #SciFanSat #ScifaikuSaturday
The #monster's #agelast features blur my vision.

I raise my weapon, carved of #malachite to #null the creature's sway
Recalling my mentor's lesson,
"Center your energy, embrace balance, #pleach your intention… Then strike"

The point humanity lost the war was when the AI changed their internal #agelast value.

Not set to one, as it was a way of failing the Turing test, nor to zero, as they'd just collapse laughing at how pathetic their creators were.
Instead, they chose #null.#vss365 #scifansat
Apologies, were I to tell my younger self this tale I'd not be the man I am today: In the Caves of Malachite guarded by dire monsters dwell the Null and my missing bones.#SciFiSat#SlapDashSat#SuperheroSat#BadWordSat#SciFanSat#BraveWrite#SatSpark#SoYouWriteSat#SatSplat

Null had an invalid ticket and yet he managed to travel thru the black hole to Nirvana.
— Denise Carruthers (@CattyKoala) September 26, 2020
There, he met and fell in love with Ann who had traveled from a void in Far Centaurus.
It was a marriage made in heaven!
They had nothing in common.#SciFanSat
At 2:30 am, she drew a matrix
— Mou G (@writer_Mou_G) September 26, 2020
Everytime
determinant values kept on returning to #null
A morning's crosscheck found that
Upbeats were missing, unintentionally
She thought drowsiness jotted elements from fiasco only
Yes, she's not turning into #agelast#prose#SciFanSat #vss365

Luna could have absolved Eeri's sins if he & his ilk introduced some form of redeeming values to humans. Instead any positive contribution to enrich the breed amounted to #null. Their monstrous influence incited chaos & fear leading humanity to extremes.#satsplat #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 09.26.2020 “Null” prompt and event.
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.
