“Impact”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

I snigger
At my soon to be brother in law
This man of supposed to be great #Perspicacity

As soon
As the #impact of my magicked kiss
Hits his lips

He’ll return
Back into a frog!
I’ll not have a bog beast as our King#vss365 #scifansat

—The asteroid has penetrated planetary defenses. Impact in 10 seconds.
—We’re all going to die!
—See, I told you it wouldn’t be aliens.
—How perspicacious of you.
—You owe me $50.
—Is that really import—

Our course
bent and deviated
as we closed
on the black hole
Lightning flashed
and thunder boomed
as my body
left my soul
As we impacted
the event horizon
we finally lost
control#SciFanSat #impact pic.twitter.com/IFuwNGA7rU

I feel the impact. Then I’m being shaken awake by some girl in my shirt.

“Wake up, dolt!” the child yells.

Checking for a wound, I find I’m a shirtless boy in my adult pants. “The hell?”

“Soulsplitter demon,” she says. “I’m your anima. You, my animus.”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt

to remake futures
change fates written in the stars
your light too must shine

words make impacts
the first raindrops of a storm
what then will you say#ScifaikuSaturday#SciFanSat

#SciFanSat
Mildly shaken from the realization a demon took hold of her body he belittled the grave situation to lessen its #impact on her horrified family.#Perspicacity taking charge, he emptied the room, denying the unnatural foe to transfer to other hosts.#vss365#2WordPrompt

I can't believe it. He should have died on #impact. Well, but this is the 24th century.
"I love you."
He stands stiff. My heart breaks. He doesn't want me anymore. A closer look and I notice his eyes don't blink. Finally he speaks.

It was a summer afternoon, and giant dragonflies hummed among the dinosaurs. No one noticed the object in the sky hurtling to earth, the terrible impact of the asteroid, the crater and the great wave after.#SciFanSat #impact

There wasn't time for #perspicacity. Hell, there wasn't time for anything with the flank of the asteroid looming, seconds from #impact. I looked over at her. My heart tumbled all over again, beating at my ribs, urging me on.

I took a breath.#vss365#satsplat#scifansat

I wasn't sure I'd had the #impact I'd intended and, honestly, seeing the #demon had left me #shaken. Still, as I stepped through the portal, the #apricity of the sun's wan light was welcome.

I shook myself. First priority? A bacon sandwich.#scifansat #2Wordprompt #vssmagic

Saran was back, having visited Earth when folktales gave way to sonnets.
Now Earth is more Venus-like, & Saran wonders if humans honed enough perspicacity to know love too deep to be unrequited.
There'd been enough time for the needed impact.#366FF #SatSplat #SciFanSat #vss365

Bea didn't say much—many thought her mute—yet she observed, and her #perspicacity was so precise, she didn't need to.
The impact of her few words incited a riot. She'd spotted the change, how the town's kids stopped being themselves, the lights in the night sky#vss365#scifansat

— John Everex (@EverexJohn) January 8, 2022

"#Vnast. #Shaken, not stirred".
The #demon grins, eyes shining with #perspicacity across the bar
"How can I help?"
She sighs. "Can you make someone love me?"
"I can. But consider the #impact. You'll always know it's fake"#vss365 #2WordPrompt #AchtenWrite #SciFanSat #satsplat pic.twitter.com/e3jk3GirDa

Suite's 3rd movement, title translates The Perspicacity of Jude, w/ accompanying poetry in the program from Earth 247's World Laureate Jude Fortenbeaux. That's when I realize I've been duped. The poem's 5th stanza reads "…and a fool named Truant."#vss365 #bravewrite #SciFanSat

It didn't take a genius to know what would happen, yet his lack of #perspicacity was staggering.

The people on the colonies had a right to know; the impact on their lives would be immense.

I will smuggle aboard the next ship out of here and tell them myself.#vss365 #SciFanSat

The whole of Robinbawn braced
for impact that never comes where
did it go?
is it ourselves
who are gone?
soon, too soon, the
answered
i struggle to see
we are gifted to the Dark
Sides… for our truths#SciFanSat #vss #mpy

The impact was swift
No time to mourn for The Clan
The slate was erased

When life next emerged
cognitive beings pondered
Impact? No worries!

The impact was swift
They mourned the economy
The slate was erased#SciFanSat#SciFaiku#Haiku#Poetry#SciFi

The colonists of Trappist-1 f were getting uppity over the tax increase. And their antics were catching on.

They didn't realise the #impact I had on their lives.

"Asteroid in position, Your Majesty."

"Smashing, General Uproar. Loose at will."

That should motivate. pic.twitter.com/wRWvr9aamz

Braveheart Mr. X of the Bomb Disposal Squad showed impeccable #perspicacity in the nick of the time saving hundreds of lives from a disastrous #impact. Now, HERO of the country will be awarded highest honour, who has won million hearts executing the act.#SciFanSat #vss365 pic.twitter.com/VQZ8UTur9c
