Saving the Prince would be no easy feat.

Thankfully she’d had the #prior foresight to pack a slingshot.
But, there were no stones in the swampy lands he was imprisoned; that she’d forgotten.
Chances of Cyclops dying, were now very #limited. #vss365 #SciFanSat #Satsplat

Clairvoyant esoterica
prior to science
when fear was limited
by truth
When colours carried frequency
and sound sliced
and stacked great stones
Those beings smile
down from the stars
Where they'll never
be alone #vss365 #prior #SciFiFri #fear #SciFanSat #limited pic.twitter.com/sBhzi3xUSw

As the doctor droned on about what was wrong with her, Dani focused on her latent superpowers. With practice, she could do anything.
The pen in the doctor's pocket exploded. She smirked. #SciFanSat
He eyed his child. “Time travel?”

“It’s limited: My future consciousness displaced to my body in the past,” she says.
“But the events you want to stop, happened before your birth.”
“I can’t save the future, Dad. I’ve built a displacer here so you can.”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt
“A simple question,” the man in black said. “Did you have #prior knowledge of the attack?”

He grasped for the version of the truth that might save him. “My information is #limited.”
“Yet you neglected to tell me. I would say that places the blame with you.”#vss365 #SciFanSat
I came across it while jogging in the park.

"Help. My powers are limited when I take this form."
The deep voice did not match the little girl's body, but it was sprawled on the ground, its face scrunched in pain. I swallowed my fear and took it into my arms.#SciFanSat #satsplat
We love you, Robbie! the sisters cried.

My capacity for emotion is limited, the robot said, but I consider you my friends. Together, we can travel the galaxy. Where do you want to go? There is no limit to imagination.#SciFanSat #limited
She was a water bear, but of bear size, with a voice like sea-teased shingle saying

shed past
imagine

unlimited
Which may sound like being free, but my limits draw the map of me. So I made my excuses. A prior commitment. To myself.#vss365 #SciFanSat #vssnature
*Your name? What is it?*

The dragon was silent. Tears came to Nora’s eyes as she pictured him—magnificent legs held by huge chains, his ability to breathe fire limited. He was about to share his name with a member of the species who’d enslaved him. #SciFanSat #TheFrostEater
"I have #limited time," he assessed, pained by the quick countdown. "The past will catch up on me."

She held him tight but he began to vanish.
No problem w/ the reactor #prior to the accident, only after they tried to displace it to a new container#vss365#SciFanSat#2WordPrompt
We hid in the wardrobe, pushed deep among the coats, pressed fingers against the back. But it was just wood: there was no magical land, no fauns, snow or wicked queens.

Through the crack we had a limited view, caught his shadow, heard his ragged breathing.#scifansat#Satsplat
The novice starts when Mage Schtol speaks. “What’s wrong, child?”
— Armond Boudreaux (@armondboudreaux) September 24, 2021
The novice shakes her head. “Can’t make more.”
The mage frowns. “More?”
“Water. Food. I want to help people.”
The mage sighs. “All things are limited. There is no ex nihilo in this world.”#SatSplat #SciFanSat
—I must say, I’m. A bit surprised to see a Wizard of your stature.

—My options are somewhat limited…
—Because of your priors. Let’s see, Necromancy, poisons, and what’s this last one?
—Planetary realignment.

We believed the speed of light was a limit, but the first aliens we met taught us it was imagination that #limited us. Nothing they did adhered to the laws of science we placed so much pride in discovering. They’d mock us as fools, if they ever let us out of the zoo. #scifansat

Under the prior king, the Fair Folk were limited by their need for permission to get into your house. The new one hired them as tax collectors, making permission implicit.

I met you in a #prior life. Perhaps, on another planet, in another galaxy. I remember, but only hazily. In that life, we were free to explore what we felt for each other in boundless ways. Now, we are #limited by earthly boundaries. I wish it wasn't so.#SciFanSat #vss365 pic.twitter.com/JlbpT6hPwP
