“Arrange”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

Commander?

Yes, Stargeant Wong?

Alien Ambassador says he wants to rearrange your face.

Pardon?!

Not in a beat-you-up kind of way, Sir. It's a sciency thing he calls The 8th State of Rearrangement. He can make you look like Brad Pitt if you want.

Nah.Sam Elliott?#scifansat

Somewhere in the void
Vessels arranged for battle
Crew died long ago

“What a mess!”

“Here, I’ll fix it.”

“You can’t! You’ve mixed the silver with copper. It’s supposed to be gold and silver!
The ancient black magic spell #arrange-ment has to be exact!”

“Mum, why can’t we just go see a dentist like normal people?”#scifansat#Satsplat

"What ARE you doing?"

"I'm trying to #arrange this #mollusc collection in a #snowdrift."

"Er… why?"

"For #ambience for my #ventriloquist act."

"Oh…kay. Why's the box talking?"

Empty, dead eyes turned to stare at me.#vss365 #vssMagic #vssDreams #winterwords #scifansat

"You #arrange what?"
Awestruck, Amari could only marvel at her sister's ingenuity.
"The chosen comes back to other bodies, their old memories meshed w/ their recipients'."
"Will they know?"
"They might suspect. I can control them awake. Not dreaming."#scifansat #slapdashdat

He took his time, methodically cutting tendons & replacing blood and bone with sawdust.

He left the eyes alone, their fear filled him with glee.

Last, the #ventriloquist dummy sliced its old master's vocal cords & arranged the new puppet's limbs.

arranges stones for circle coplayers
predictions first
til one marker remains
wishbone beneath
ending game
winner leaves the pattern in place moves
the star to a new position it's
time to go#SciFanSat#vss #mpy

I try to #arrange us, show people who's really in charge, but the dummy won't let me

A #ventriloquist act of a different sort, I play straight man to his hollow wooden humour

Always careful, or he'll bite me after the show#SciFanSat #vss365 #Satsplat

The children play in the rising water. They are too young to realize it is going to kill us.

Mother Nature knows we will be more hurt to see them die. Like her. It is not intriguing why she never arranges an apocalypse before the birth of our children.#BraveWrite #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/VlVDjfGZX1

"Grim, what's this?"
"There's too many horsemen, we're reallocating."
"But why arrange them by height?"
"We're renaming the smallest seven, starting with ignorance. Henceforth you will be known as Dopey. Pollution, we'll call you Sneezy."
"I've bad feeling about this."#SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/Yw3NRV4O1A

"Theirs was a deranged arranged rendezvous, where forget me not melancholy wed slap happy humor."

"Ted, you have got to stop watching gossip tv!" Tess rubbed temples. #BraveWrite #WIPWordSearch #SuperheroSat #SciFanSat #SatSpark #Satsplat #SlapDashSat #SciFiSat #amwriting

OK, who #arranged this SuperSquad #rendezvous?

It was I, Master #Mollusk!#Hogwash! I didn't say that.

Who did?

Noone.

That voice…the villainous #Ventriloquist!

Yep. Keep talking while I set off the bomb, OK?#SciFanSat #366FF #SuperheroSat #ConverStory #vssdreams #vss365

It’s easy to #arrange a meeting with a #ventriloquist. A man in a faded suit, he takes the money with an eagerness I wish I didn’t see. At your wedding ceremony the doll will speak, the darkest secrets spilling into the light. I wish it didn’t come to this. #vss365 #SciFanSat

There were once many enchanted places. When I was young, I saw a mountain’s icy peak burst into flames during every full moon. Trees rearranged themselves, as if dancing with one another. Rivers flowed backward, including their waterfalls. #SciFanSat #TheVineEater

In the VR bar, there's an arrangement of drinks that are brain hacks.
The #ventriloquist dummy bartender sees her staring at one.
'Courage in a bottle, then?'
'How much?'
'If you have to ask you can't afford it.'
'Thanks, dummy. I didn't know that.'#SciFanSat #darklines #vss365

"Do these mountains look off to you?" the pilot asked.

"Off how?" the co-pilot replied.

"The peaks. They're #arranged in a pattern."

"They do sort of look like the spines of some huge creature."

*static*

"The transmission ends there," the officer told the captain. #SciFanSat

I #arrange the #rendezvous – I #forget the time.
Turns out it didn't matter – the #vessel travels faster than light. #SciFanSat #BraveWrite #SatSpark#ScifaikuSaturday #SatSplat #SciFiSat#SlapDashSat#amwriting #prompt pic.twitter.com/gQpehVNpR1
