“Club”: A SciFanSat Microfiction Compilation

My feet ache
With a burning question
When will you stop running

With the #personality
Of a dead end wall
I say I may not be fit
But I need to survive

This twilight zone planet
Guarded by giant #club-s’ll
Never stop chasing a misprint like me #vss365 #scifansat #satsplat

Personality
is a grey matrix
It is formed
not given
Like a garden
it grows
and reaches
a certain density
Clubs are joined
tenure is obtained
The sum
of this life's madness
…nothing is preordained#SciFanSat #vss365#BrknShards pic.twitter.com/43z7SVc5Uu

In this
cosmic #club of
existence
embrace,
we gather to
unmask the #personality
in this sacred
place,
where
judgments
fade by the #density
of race,
yet love
transcends
all barriers
with great
pace.#VSS365 #BrknShards #SciFanSat #WritingCommnunity pic.twitter.com/oagJfKKAUf

The thump of the bass was a living thing, thrumming through her pleasantly and urging her to join the crush of bodies on the club’s floor.
Huck’s hand on her wrist stopped her.
Compulsion. Magic was heavy in the air, overriding personality and will both.#vss365 #scifansat

The bar was quiet before the evening crowd. He sat alone, like the many-armed waitress, waiting.
The Nova Club was always busy, she sighed.
This is a very exclusive club, he said. Just you and me.
Let's go watch the moons rise.#SciFanSat #club

Set in the deepest part
of Elizabeth One
Dark moon rose slowly
never touching
London Club

Silent appearances
disguise inner commotions
an ability to
see everything it
was capable of amending
far-reaching events#SciFanSat#vss #poem

“A holy weapon?”

“Yes.”

“You?”

“Yup.”

He laughs. “I and my powers predate anything blessed by Yahweh.”

The gardener lifts a knobby olive-wood club. “You predate Herakles, smart-ass?”

The kakodaimon raises his hands. “Wait—”

“It’s CLUBBERIN’ time!”#SciFanSat #2WordPrompt

The ex-server android squats in the desert, car empty. The old sun casts everything magenta. She's trying out a glass-half-empty #personality, shorting her pleasure circuit. Her fingers cradle a bone-white branch—a club—while tracking the hunters' spotlights.#scifansat#vss365

With nothing in common, I wonder why we have been summoned. A voice echoes, spoken by an unseen entity. "You all are part of a special #club. Each of you has survived an encounter with a Ja monster. We need your secrets. A pack of them are on their way here."#satsplat #SciFanSat

The driving beat of the #club’s synth was hard to resist, and the strobes mesmerized me. Despite my better judgment, I was drawn into the electro-bacchanal. As I danced recklessly, I felt a cold breath on my sweaty neck. “Boo,” whispered Pascal and darkness took me.#scifansat

"That #holy man's so #corrupt," he muttered. "Just a cult of #personality surrounded by goons with #knobby #club-s."

I agreed. Which is why I'd bribed the hotel staff to add nanobot powder to his lunch. His head exploded most pleasingly.#vss365 #vssmagic #2WordPrompt #scifansat

I shaped a fallen branch into a knobby, makeshift club. I wasn’t sure I had the personality to kill, but I had to try. That crystal was the key to survival, and the Orcs considered it holy. They weren’t giving it up without a fight.

Lucifer’s Social Club: Sartre was right. Hell is other people, especially if you have a certain personality. Learn how not only to survive the damnation, but to make hell a heaven with one who’s done it before. #vss365 #Satplat #SciFanSat

The most exclusive club in the galaxy only lets in those with the best personality. Out of luck: complainers, insulters, demanders, and invertebrates.#SciFanSat #vss365 #SciFiSat

The vibe in the club was surreal. Outside the glass panes, three red moons lit the horizon & burning star-flakes dazzled in the skies like jewels. Inside, strange personalities mingled with stranger ones. This was the end, what was there to lose? #SciFanSat #SlamWords R7 #vss365 pic.twitter.com/KP1wH23Z0w

Joseph is a master of the dark arts of seduction, and the proud member of the select club of sociopaths; his personality granted it.
Today, he arrived in town to steal the star of Harrison Ford from Hollywood Boulevard.
The catch: he must do it in plain sight.#vss365 #scifansat pic.twitter.com/W74SlAhEi9

Amongst the dead & broken, the half armed guns & rain, they formed The Rest Day Club and refused to kill. Such battles were unrewarding and hurt too much. The main problem was personality and what and how to Rest. Quarrels stopped short of mutilation.#Scifansat#vss365

Far from a #holy order, they were the remnants of an invasion, their #knobby skinned bodies bearing the evidence of alien cruelty.

They were more like a #club, full of satire, whiskey, and the #personality the aliens couldn't destroy.#2WordPrompt #SciFanSat #vss365 #SatSplat pic.twitter.com/fMRQA65sGu

Oh no, Personality Police at the entrance of my book #club. They ask for my #personality passport.
They eye me suspiciously: who is your favorite author, do you like spiders, your favorite coffee? I prefer tea. They nod at each other: Personality confirmed.#vss365 #scifansat pic.twitter.com/F9hGIV2W6M

The trick to surviving in the simulation is to look for cards. Clubs repair damage. Spades bring resources. Diamonds stabilize. Hearts connect you with allies.
If you see a joker, turn around and run. Try to get to a different town within the hour.#satsplat #scifansat #vss365 pic.twitter.com/CcxA6RHdZe
