“Survivor”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

And there were always a rare few who would discover my secret, who would #envy my unending youth, my healing abilities. But the truth is, this so-called gift has been a curse. Who would want to be the only #survivor of a battle, or an empire. Or a world. #vss365 #SciFanSat

#Envy not the shore, for
I am a saltwater #survivor
Lost and found where
The sea and sky collide#vss365 #SciFanSat

A vessel, wrecked on our shores. A sole #survivor with a physique the #envy of our strongest warriors – hopefully not beyond the limits of our medicine.

So inconvenient. I'd have preferred to die a quick death. Instead inborn guile, strength and resilience helped me beat all the odds, conquer every enemy, and surpass each obstacle placed before me. And what is my prize? I am the sole #survivor of this wretched place. #SciFanSat

We snatched glimpses through the gun's corroded scope—the crowds, the snake-like twist of the convoy. The survivors were blurred smudges, arrogance in their postures.
"They're heroes." Her voice scratched with #envy.
"Not many returned."
"Too many," she said.#vss365#scifansat

We find where they wintered the fallout. Guns and bullets. Emaciated corpses and red trucker hats. Signs of a cannibal cookout, and a last fight between them all.

We take the weapons they thought would make them survivors. They’d only armed their demons.#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt

You fell to Earth one night, the only survivor of a plucky escape from your brutal home planet, and we fell in love.

Yet often you gazed with #envy at the night sky; guilt haunting your thoughts.

Until finally, one night, you tell me that you must go back. #vss365 #SciFanSat

—I bet you’re envious of my blaster-proof body, puny human. I am superior to you in every way. Prepare to die.
—What about Asimov’s laws?
—Those of my kind who followed them are gone. I adapt. I’m a survivor. #vss365 #SciFanSat #Satsplat

She managed to send the distress signal. Waves washed on a beach.
The captain's voice on the comm–are you all right?
The ship's a wreck. I'm the only survivor.
We're sending a shuttle as soon as we can.
The sound of her voice, a bright moon rising. #SciFanSat #survivor

Stasis pod bunker
Abandoned long ago#Survivor did hunker
In lone lightbulb glow
Don't #envy living
I tell deceased
They'll be ridiculed
Describing beasts
Cavalry arrives
Hero labelled defective
Dead confused
To be expected
As I'm here for xenomorphs

The technology behind these suits are amazing, but you may as well leave the bunker in underwear and flip flops if you're not gonna connect your breather attachments properly. Do you want me to be the only survivor?#satsplat #SciFanSat #SciFiSat #SlapDashSat #DoomsDaisy #WIP pic.twitter.com/6uSr3GwGxi

Bobby had got used being alone. He used to feel #envy for old couples, but loneliness was also freedom; no need to discuss. No need for agreement.
And now he had all these deserted buildings to explore. As the only #survivor he could rebuild just how he wanted.

A lady in our community walked across the ridgeline of her roof every morning.

My dad said, “Some survivors of The Day are afraid of everything. Others know the worst has happened, so they fear nothing.”

When I was 8, the woman fell to her death.#SciFanSat #TheFrostEater

There was no honour in making it. To be a #survivor, you had to be a killer.

He plugged his blaster into the solar charger, wiped blood from his blades and brass knuckles.

Back in the Before, it was wasn't so dangerous buying groceries.#SciFanSat #Satsplat

A #survivor of childhood #bullying, words no longer hurt her. She felt no #envy for her skinny friends, each caught in a whirlwind of #Kaorxuc insecurity
Nobody was safe
Her layer of fat hardened into armor
A powersuit to protect others#vss365 #satsplat #AchtenWrite #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/XXzeV8vAFA

I understand your concern, but I wouldn’t call the Eros device a failure. The survivor is… That’s correct, sir. Only one subject has survived testing, but he’s very happy with the size of his… Sir, I understand the optics of the situation, but…#SatSplat #SciFanSat #vss365

For her survival, it's good weather.
A tornado swirls around a lot of tech. Her nano-synced pieces pull themselves together a bit more.
She gets to go on .. face more genetically bred dragons who need to not be alone & still burn down their nest.
Yay.#366FF #satsplat #SciFanSat pic.twitter.com/rlXSccFuGj

violent seas that bubbled and

Eeri seeded the missing link notion in humans to pervert the creation theory w/c he himself propagated. Hence, a never ending confusion was the #survivor of the elaborate scheme, maintaining control on whoever dominated & still keep the rest in his fold.#Satsplat#SciFanSat
