"Science Fiction" means—to us—everything found in the science fiction section of a bookstore, or at a science fiction convention, or amongst the winners of the Hugo awards given by the World Science Fiction Society. This includes the genres of science fiction (or sci-fi), fantasy, slipstream, alternative history, and even stories with lighter speculative elements. We hope you enjoy the broad range that SF has to offer.
Gordon Sun is a surgeon exploring the intersections between healthcare and technology. His stories have appeared in Please See Me, Penumbric Speculative Fiction Magazine, Mad Scientist Journal, and other publications.
"Got any tax-deductible donations for the Visit, Mr. Smith?" asked Elvis. "You know the drill. Perishables, recyclables, anything you don't need."
Smith craned his neck back into the house. "Son, go to the attic and bring down all those unopened electronics." He returned his attention to the solicitor. "Will that do?"
"I know. It's great the government lets us use the wormhole to give surplus away to our less fortunate brethren over there. Solves everyone's problems."
"Yup. Nick, Kris, Noel, and their clones are going to earn their overtime this December for sure."
