“Limit”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

I’d been abducted the ransom high. But I recognized the masked figures voices..my #great uncle & his druggie stepson.
Then it happened, the thing only I knew.
The full moon shone, fangs & claws grew.
There'd be no #limit to my #revenge tonight. #vss365#SciFanSat #satsplat

“I’ve never met a relic human.”

She faced the hulking machine. “Better a relic than just a brain in a robot.”

“We are human,” it said. “Humans no longer bound to the limits of flesh.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes.”

“Without human limits, where is the human?”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt

There is no limit to imagination–or love, said the chief engineer. Unlike the speed of light–at least as far as we know. #SciFanSat #limit

For a time, it was just me. Pushing limits, touching perfection, crossing over.
I could hide forever. Nobody could follow.
But I sensed the others a week ago, lurking in the gaps. I hear them sometimes, #great cries catching the wind, brushing my face. Inviting#SciFanSat#vss365

The Galaxy Café in the Outer Limits smells like burnt star remnants and fresh coffee. Once that coffee steam hits your nose, the burnt metal smell fades. The first sip is like rocket fuel. Refills are free.#SciFanSat #scifisat

The sky’s no longer the limit, but you humans can’t see that. Your blinded by your past, by old wars, by revenge. Think of how great you could be if you joined together as a planet and took your place in the galactic community among the stars. #vss365 #SciFanSat #satsplat

There is a #limit to what the humans can observe. That was done on purpose. They cannot perceive our reality, we can test them: whisper to control their actions & activate their aggressive nature. They will be the perfect fodder in the oncoming #great war.#vss365 #scifansat

Chimera Cunning has hit the #limit with her mother planet. It's pushed her into a corner. The Lioness snarls and unleashes her arsenic tail to #great heights and strikes at it to veil this stained pain as life wanes until it drains.#vss365#SatSplat#SciFanSat#horrorprompt 431

I close my eyes & scream as the #whirlwind grabs us, spinning us around to the #limit of consciousness before spitting us out
I push up
Everything hurts
The sky is a bruised umber

Trapped in an event horizon, falling infinitely into darkness the ghosts feast on desiccated flesh and dead dreams. An empty ship of lost souls, frozen on the edge of time amid a graveyard of stars. There is no limit to death's hunger for life.#SciFanSat #microstory

"You *are* conceptually #familiar with the #Great #Labyrinth,I take it? Your #limit-ed chances of #survival?"

The long heatwave led to drought while the harsh winter killed vegetation & remaining food resources. Both resulted to widespread famine.
There's no #limit as to how Luna could punish the living, most fervently convinced Eeri as their almighty protector.#Satsplat#SciFanSat

Space's speed #limit; light speed req's infinite mass
To be #great, we did it anyway
We sped faster, our cells & atoms expanded, filling the void
We did it!
Our neurons twinkled
But when you are everywhere
There’s nowhere to go

“You expect me to hurtle to the limit of the galaxy in this?” Jack tested the hatch. It almost came off its hinges.
“Are you saying Jule isn’t a great designer?”
Jack cursed up a storm until Jule came in, pissing with laughter. “OK. I’ll show you the real ship.”#SciFanSat #vss365

"You lost him!? And the girl!?"

"Yeah–they somehow got away."

"How? You have the No #Limit Sphere–you can literally fold the edges of the universe; anywhere they went, you could have followed instantly!"

"About that…"

"You lost it too!? #Great."

"Tea?" #SciFanSat #vss365

"Who was it said that man is not born #great, but has greatness thrust upon them?"

~Shakespeare.

"Is there a limit?"

~?

"You know, to how amazing and brilliant one can be…?"

~ I believe the ego is infinite.

"Excellent! Then I'll be that."#vss365 #SciFanSat

Interstellar revenge had limits. Retaliation was restricted to the malefactor’s lifetime & her blood kin. So the slaying of the clan work dragon—without which no one survived long in the Kuiper Belt—was taken for genocide & its retribution swift & condign. pic.twitter.com/xBzN2Y2JbS

"And now I have you under my command, unlimited power MUHAHA-"
"Actually, there's a #limit."
"You're the Grim Reaper. That's unlimited power."
"Nope. Not much power at all really. I do have a bus pass, and I'm one coffee stamp away from a free donut… which is nice."#SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/vdoFjgRP4T
