An #object spins close to my eye, moonlight #reflect-ing from its middle.
— Fizzy-AllSortsOfAllSorts (@Fizzytwizler) May 14, 2022
Thinking it a firefly, I grab it; my skin burns on touch—in a flash, I’m somewhere else.
Don’t know where but, the sky’s green & my brothers there…went missing 5yrs ago.#vss365 #scifansat #satsplat
There was morbid reverie in her half moon eyes. I watched as the frazzled man frayed into a gaseous thing under her stare, his bones fatigue into ashes for hungry fiends hidden in objects people don't suspect. I watched my death in their reflection. #SciFanSat #SciFiSat #vss365

They were picked up downtown last night for public intoxication. Ranting about UFOs & aliens. We found their pickup in the middle of a scorched cornfield, the cop said.

The lawyer's strange eyes reflected nothing.
"You won't object if I take them?"#scifansat #vss365
That night, we were in the car, I was driving, you turned to me and asked about that idiom, the one about objects in the rearview mirror being closer than they actually are, and I said, I thought it was a song title, then I saw a flash #reflect in your eyes.#vss365 #SciFanSat

We were watching the lunar eclipse, when a bright object fell out of the sky and splashed in the lake. Was it a meteor or a UFO? My brother says we saw two figures that looked a lot like men emerging from the water, but all I remember was a blinding flash. #SciFanSat #object

“I object to this!”

“Your astromech body was blown to bits!” he shouts. “Putting you in the fembot saved your positronic brain.”
“You put me in a toy for lonely spacers,” the gynoid glares. “How can I fix the starship now?”
He hands her a hydrospanner.#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt
#SciFanSat#object of my desire rocks my twilight zone at the event that my imagination will horizon to the farthest reaches to where ever my heart can drift to. Time folds it's fabric while we experiment with the science of love… Alien style, melding of two minds!…

This object’s made of a substance hitherto unknown to humankind. It doesn’t reflect anything. Images, sounds, thoughts, emotions, values. We call it The Void.
— Danielle Ste. Just (@DanielleSteJust) May 14, 2022
It’s quite unsettling. I want either confirmation bias or contempt.
I hear you.But The Void doesn’t.#vss365 #SciFanSat
People were smaller then, and needed less. Boredom was actually part of life in those days. Being exhausted meant you had time to reflect. The last thing anyone did, was stand up and object.#vss365 #SciFanSat #scififri

To most people a toy could be an #object of little significance but for him, especially his son's, it was priceless. He could #reflect all throughout his remaining years on Earth what happened but the maddening truth tortured his lonely existence.#vss365#2WordPrompt
I stare at the #object in his hand. Can this delicate ornament really transport me to the other end of the galaxy?

"Is there someone special waiting for you?" says the mage.
A flash of light. Dizziness.
"Hi, honey."
It can't be. Mom's been dead for years.#satsplat#SciFanSat
Despite what they told you, child, I'm not #lonely. I came to this planet to live in the #wild, #reflect on my crimes, and seek peace.
— That Burnt Writer 🇺🇦 (@ThatBurntWriter) May 14, 2022
No, I don't want your #toy, and rather #object to that tone of voice. I'm not coming back.
Go. Away.#vss365 #2WordPrompt #vssmagic #scifansat
I haven't seen her in years. They say she died, but standing in her studio, looking at the art objects she made… A reflection in a metal sculpture turns to me.

"I put my soul into my art," she says. "Literally. Now I need someone to share it with."#satsplat #scifansat #vss365
The server android's eyes #reflect my face, mirrored eyelids deployed. I hear Cap's voice—she's overcome her obedience protocol, could be a risk—know he'd object, lower my gun.
— John Everex (@EverexJohn) May 14, 2022
"You boys are all the same." She beams and I grin back. Never see the sucker punch.#scifansat#vss365
The object #reflected light. They couldn’t tell if it was natural or some horrible doomsday machine.

“Why the hell are you grinning? That thing is headed right for us.”
“You know me. Always frustrated ‘cause I’d never know how the story ends. Or so I thought.”#scifansat #vss365

Our favorite lunatic archangel Jegudiel pops in for a surprise visit, babbling over incestuous demons & all the forks in the roads to perdition. With Jeg, you must decipher his madness. Reflect.

Then borrow that strange object he used to find you…#vss365 #bravewrite #SciFanSat
Pym. That was her name. She once lived around the edges of some archaeological world. Observing. #Reflecting. I pick her off the shelf. She's an #object now. I flick through her pages, back to a begin. We are at the library, and I am pulled in by a quartet#scifansat #vss365

The dealer tells her where to deliver the objects. Junk even for antiques – kettle w/o a handle, iron age crown replica.
— Fennel (@FennelSteuert) May 14, 2022
All to people who live on nice streets.
When they see the items, the connection is immediate. They scarcely care about guarding their homes.#366FF #SciFanSat
Earthlings would be pretty disappointed to learn the unidentified flying object they saw was just Uber Eats picking up tacos for a Neptunian#scifansat

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 05.14.2022 “Object” 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.
