"Rena came outside... to find the tree’s lowest branch lying among the daffodils, torn from the trunk like a chunk of stale bread. The shock was new and sharp. It broke through the fog inside her."
Friends, heed the content warnings. A beautiful, painful story about the limits of even the deepest bonds 💔🌿
Read "What We Cannot See" by @atrailofleaves https://inner-worlds.ghost.io/what-we-cannot-see-louise-hughes/
Life’s been so weird this decade, I’ve been catching up on some seriously good sci-fi and dystopian series. Here’s what I’ve been binging lately:
🔩 Silo (Apple TV+) – Secrets, lies, and life underground
🌌 Andor (Disney+) – The Rebellion begins with a spark
🚀 For All Mankind (Apple TV+) – What if the space race never ended?
🧟♂️ The Last of Us (Max) – Fungi, fear, and fierce survival
🧠 Severance (Apple TV+) – Work-life balance, but terrifying
Got recs in the same vein? Drop them below 👇✨🛸

I found this photo by Reg Cannon of the northern lights over the abandoned Tarlair swimming pool in MacDuff. The pool, one of my old haunts in Banffshire, inspired this story published in Fireside Quarterly. https://firesidefiction.com/the-middening #Scotland #ShortFiction #AbandonedPlaces #SpeculativeFiction #Writing
It’s not what AI knows.
It’s what AI knows about you.
A world where data becomes control.
Where AI art drowns out the human voice.
Where convenience replaces truth.
And we don’t know the difference...
Maybe we’re already there.

"Everyone flutters, flaring with the strongest of yellows, a rich goldenrod-alarm.
At the edge of the trees waits a stranger, a human, the first we've encountered in so very long."
