  1. The suicide pact was complete. We dropped cyanide pills in our drinks and toasted the coming end. Of course, mine was just aspirin. Suckers.
  2. With nothing left but the Seine, we'd rebuild the isles, slowly, one by one. From the ruins of Notre Dame, a library of songs set in stone.
  3. Jack's cryo-capsule opened. A robot cleaned piles of skulls outside. The clocks on the other capsules flashed 12:00. "Dammit. We slept in."

  5. I feel my bed writhing as I wake up. Panic. Realize that my VR gear is still on. Exhale. Bad habit, trying to ignore the apocalypse.
  6. I looked around the table. Cranberry sauce spilled from my family's mouths like blood. Damn the Wizard Turkey. He had gotten his revenge.
  7. I told you we should have followed the recipe exactly -- they warned us that undercooked turkey can be dangerous. I hope Grandma got out OK.
  8. Mother smiled, "No yeastbeef tonight, and you can breathe in and out as much as you want." Thanksgiving on Titan was fun!
  9. On this day, we give thanks to our overlords for this double-sized ration and for the chance to assemble at pre-approved locations. Amen.
  10. The air smelled of cooked meat. Jay cowered under the table, praying. "Is that the last of them?" "Yep," said the turkey, pulling Jay out.
  11. "Carving a good turkey takes practice." Jerry sharpened his best knife. Shackled, his youngest boy cried. "I'll behave, Daddy. I promise!"
  12. Frustrated by its inability to get Charlotte to spin one damn word of praise, the turkey ate her.
  13. Interview: a collar-and-tie job. Rush-hour TransMat: connections cross; transfers glitch. I embody my worst nightmare: arrive bikini-clad.
  14. Some mornings it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps, garroting the orderly and guard, and carjacking the nurse at penpoint.
  15. So this was what the end looked like. I leaned over the edge and peered out into the nothingness beyond. Wait a minute is that cotton candy?
  16. From behind the dark storm curtain, the cherubs gawked as Earth drowned in God's disappointment. Later, they plucked rainbows like harps.
  17. I wave a weary goodbye, drifting off to lands beyond death; and wave to my departing self, built to face all lands 'til the universe ends.

  19. As the tornado ripped through his living room, Alex lamented having never ridden in an airplane. Moments later, he took flight.
