The #dream monitor spiked, she was having a nightmare. Suddenly she awoke;

“How long this time?”
“10yrs.”
“I’m alive, my illness’s gone?#Impress-ive but you look the same?
“I’m a clone, hubby died during his own final cell experiment to save you.”#vss365#scifansat#satsplat
Her earpiece squawks as she stands at the edge of the cratered parking lot.

“We just killed 200 people in a 737 to hit him. Is he dead?”
She eyes a man-shaped impression at the crater’s heart before a crushing grip grabs her arm.
“Tell him I live.”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt
The AR hotel is built to impress. Every guest receives a neurotransmitter band, allowing them to design rooms with their thoughts. Anything from Gothic castles to space stations goes, but management never expected a patron to design a torture chamber. #SciFanSat #SatSplat pic.twitter.com/gT52d1n7iE

The alien spacecraft did not impress us so much. It looked like a silver Ferrari. The occupant, however, was more handsome than Chadwick Boseman, and when he spoke, we heard his words in all the languages of the world.

We come in peace, he said. #SciFanSat #impress
Impress of the pen
— Denise Carruthers (@CattyKoala) June 19, 2021
her ink released emotion
spent upon pages
evading the invaders
she translates alien thought
in purest of words
the otherworld comes human
sharing fantasy
what light thru yonder window
how writers block the royal pain.#SciFanSat
"Let me #impress this upon you," the marine sergeant said, "if you step out of that airlock and there's anything wrong with your EVA suit, you're vapour."

Which is why I now drift amongst the stars finally free of my corporeal self. I wish I could tell them.#scifansat
"Yes, it's your #dream,and you think it's your #turn to #impress the princess, but really Derek. You're not a #liminal being,you're a middle aged man who can't afford a Ferrari. It's 2021, you're 53, and that codpiece is an embarrassment."#vss365 #vssDreams #vssdaily #scifansat pic.twitter.com/x6xJuzctcR

The old plot twist: it was all just a dream. The hardest thing to impress on new recruits is that it’s never just a dream. It’s our job to stop the nightmares before some poor sap’s subconscious is splattered, anime style, across their skull’s walls. #SciFanSat #vss365 #satsplat

These creatures weren't #impress-ed with our weapons, our space travel technology, or that we had achieved world peace.

After generations of asexual reproduction, their species suffered from cloning degeneration. They needed to inject new stock into their gene pool. #SciFanSat
I was too empty for words; too empty for anything to touch me, let alone #impress me anymore. But then you took me by the hand and showed me how to walk through your mind, how to share your #dreams. Even back home, I can see their colours still. #FromOneLine #SciFanSat #vss365

The #Dream Keeper is nothing if not organised. Impressed, I search the shelves for a name. The contents of the vial are dishwater grey

I shouldn't be here, but this is the only way I will discover why she left. Drinking, I taste the bitterness of her memories#vss365 #SciFanSat
The dark ground under leaf #barnacles the edge of sea, where fish make such beautiful birds out of feathery swims and #dream of the sky cloud oceans of Venus to #impress these thoughts upon your drifting bobbing shoulder-high boat#vssnature #vss365 #scifansat

The first Earth ship to land on Europa is an impressive feat. The discoveries made by the submarine it carried are miraculous. It was like a dream as they melted through the ice. The Octopus with 8 hands and the Coral like reef it was building, shocked us all#SciFanSat #vss365 pic.twitter.com/RMN5L0tAtv

I was too empty for words

A #dream of conversation
Stripped bare in the moonlight
Not trying to #impress you with my eloquence is liberating
Without words I'm free of doubt
I speak with fingertips,

Through constellations across galaxies trying to find you
A crater inside my chest needs healing
I don’t know your name yet but you have left deep impression
Can you, come to my #dream?
Touch my soul, ignite my dead heart#vss365 #2WordPrompt #scifansat pic.twitter.com/hVwbvWWGeq
The hab unit has a pregnant stillness. I pace past bunks, tracing #dreams in their expressions. When I behold his wrinkled neck, my resolve wavers. His hateful eyes are lidded, guilty hands concealed. I hold the impress of her last words, my blade still hidden.#vss365#scifansat

Follow your #dream, they said.

Fake it till you make it. Dress to #impress. For the job you want.
So he bought a space suit.
"I'm an astronaut," he laughed.
They didn't get the joke.
He's still out there. Somewhere.#vss365 #MadVerse #SciFanSat #2WordPrompt #SatSplat #vsspic pic.twitter.com/QHJ6YbErFF
I dress to #impress
— Ross Young (@InkDisregardit) June 19, 2021
Said devil to angel
Your dress is a mess
Said angel to devil
Rebel, rebel
Said the Grim Reaper
Robes are best
Any chance of a game of chess?
Begged the mortal
Please let this be a #dream
So went the meeting at the dimensional portal#SciFanSat #vss365 pic.twitter.com/fmSUy5lPIe
After we leave Terra, Ric spends his time trying to impress us with the old music device he found there.

“Here’s one of ancient Earth’s finest musical compositions,” he says, pressing Play.
“Come on, baby!” sings an exuberant voice. “Let’s do the twist!”#SatSplat #SciFanSat

In the city of Sila, whispering had become an art. The most popular people were the ones who were barely audible. The most impressive listeners always stood at the back, to show off their magnificent skill of understanding without clearly hearing all the words
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 06.19.2021 “Impress” 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.
