REVIEW OF THE COSTUMER BY KATHLEEN
REVIEW OF THE COSTUMER BY KATHLEEN - "It's New Year's Eve, the last of the 1980's and Brice Westwood has decided it's the perfect time to settle all scores. And what better platform than using a radio show, or something like that to share your story?! This was an unbelievable story! This was deep and disturbing and I loved it! Lol. That doesn't say much about me, I'm sure. I can [SIC] wait to read more from Chad Schimke! 5 out of 5 stars. "

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE
JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE - The James Webb Space Telescope pictured, as it propels away
from Earth’s upper atmosphere - headed into deep space. The image was captured on
12-24-21 by cameras on board the discarded upper stage. En route, a terrifying
number of complicated deployment procedures will be performed, by the most advanced
telescope every built, traveling to a preprogrammed Lagrange point. All
this will be done autonomously by onboard AI, since the telescope will be too far
away from Earth for instantaneous communication. Hopefully amazing photos taken of our planetary neighbors will soon be
forthcoming.

REVIEW OF THE MERCHANDISER BY DEBI W
REVIEW OF THE MERCHANDISER BY DEBI W - “This horror story is casted [SIC] with a crazy man (you figure that out quickly with the hints the author gives early on), the bully boss, snarky son, a thief (allegedly) also posing as a love interest to more than one. Things sound very promising for Fred, the merchandiser, and mostly going right until disaster hits his prize mannequin and Fred has to improvise to finish his now macabre vision. Although you basically knew how the story would end, all the little twists and turns, along with a very illustrative way of describing the "decorations ", real or with unusual "things" made this a fun story, reminding me of the OLD Twilight Zone!”

SCIENCE FICTION
SCIENCE FICTION - There are 2 main methods to determine
Science Fiction sub genres. Ask yourself, does the action take place on our
Earth or on another world? Science permits humans to advance to the point that
life on an extraterrestrial world/ need to travel there, or disruptive societal
change -- dramatically transforming our day to day existence. Before the term Science Fiction had ever been
used, Jules Verne wrote a series under the moniker Voyages Extraordinaires
including From the Earth to the Moon (De la terre à la lune). While that was happening, Robert Louis
Stephenson dreamt up the concept for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A short time later, HG Wells wrote and
published The Time Machine, Invisible Man and War of the Worlds. The
Speculative Fiction movement began, whereby Earthly limits fall away and
imagination takes flight. Even if that imagination means staying at home.
Superhero and Apocalyptic fiction emerged into a space created by their
predecessors. Once we learned history is not fixed and things might/ might not
turn out the way we hope, Social fiction appeared. With a fully developed
genre, authors could go anywhere and everywhere, unrestricted by reality, ready
to inhabit new nearby/ faraway worlds.
