“Point”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

It was #inevitable, the Dinosaurs dying.
They were getting too big for their boots.

Beyond my family's oasis, I found my own in an igloo amid the copse in Monster's Field. There were celebratory cups with resolutions written in erasable marker and motorcycle models on a shelf. Arrows above them pointed up to a beginner's paint by number Velociraptor. #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/2cO09LhVmy

An ultrablack leviathan of some deep, dark sea. Flying space squid with googly eyes. Creatures resembling velociraptors with rows of sharp, pointy teeth. A pulsing alien spacecraft. The boy draws them in his sketchbook, before the memories vanish. #scifansat #vss365 #scifisat

"I point to the moon," the prophet said. "Someday, people will travel to the stars."
The Floating World station orbited the planet like a second moon. Visitors looked out and admired the view. #SciFanSat #point

You have reached the waters of the blue and yellow light, at this point reality is a song, more, or less, harmonious, your shadow is welcome here, but may not venture beyond.#SciFanSat#vss

Ballerina has a lot in common with the #velociraptor currently carrying her through Mongolia. They're both slight, have carnivorous appetites and love to fly. She #points to Polaris. Her prehistoric friend nods & next thing she knows, they're shooting upwards.#vss365 #SciFanSat

Beatrice shot a MAC-10 burst. “Hey, Professor! At what point do we call a big monster a Kaiju?”

“Good question!” he answered. “First, we consider—”

The car-sized crab missed him with a thrown a motorcycle.

“—Uh, killing it. We’ll talk semantics later!”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt

Tossing fodder
into the wind
of change
Riding coattails
in the freeze
A world collapsed
to silence
in the clutch
of great disease
Point
to greener pastures
Spit out
that specious wheeze
Change the world
we think we've lost
Do something more
than tease #SciFanSat #point pic.twitter.com/cRKQDtG8Kt

There's a moment things turn
you barely notice first time things go #missing
A touch
A phone call
A kiss
"Everything is fine" he insists with a cracked smile
And you believe him
To a #point
But your #velociraptor heart knows
The comet is coming#vss365 #BraveWrite #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/ZHB6IpQEWP

"You're going dragon hunting with that," she said flatly.

"Yup."

"It's… a stick with a whittled #point."

"Yes, but here's the clever bit. Whilst it's distracted by my apparent idiocy I hit them with my secret weapon!"

"What's that?"

"A bigger stick!"

*sigh*#SciFanSat

The singularity enabled him to be beside her but it also made it so velociraptors came back.
She would point up at the sight of a pigeon, because they never came down now.
He would have to bat some of the raptors away, but it was always worth it.#vss365 #scifansat #horrorprompt

He looked the same. Seven feet, dead eyes, scars on both cheeks, #velociraptor tattoo. His death, three weeks ago, was certain. I'd made certain.
"Surprised, old man?" His voice held the same gravel, the same bitter hatred.
"No," I lie, pointing my 22#vss365#satsplat#SciFanSat

She reached the #point when her countenance equated to a tacit understanding of his design, that she wouldn't interfere overtly.
Suspicious Eeri grudgingly accepted the offer, his reign of good vs evil received her acquiescence.

This was the point when the population of Excar began to worry.

Not when the neighboring mad-scientist's resurrection machine was perfected
or when the zombie hoards formed.

But when the cheese went missing.
That was true horror.#BraveWrite #SatSplat #SlapDashSat #SciFanSat

"I have you now, Death. You're trapped in a Lagrange point between time and space."
"Delightful."
"Yes, quiver with fear."
"I don't quiver. It makes me sound like a xylophone. What next?"
"I have defeated Death."
"You realise I'm just a guide, don't you?"
"Wait, what?"#SciFanSat

This was the end, the point of a sword drawn before the velocoraptor drew comets on the trunks of old trees. The Abhorrent were come, their ugly masks at their feet, their smiles a month older than the universe.#vss365 #SciFanSat
