PRL Serials

  • The Ascendant – 3 – Just in Time 

    Questions about time inevitably lead to questions about free will. If time is a fixed thing, if the past, present, and future exist simultaneously, then it’s hard to imagine that we are making choices. We could assume that the future is always in flux; we can maintain our free will if every choice we make…

  • The Ascendant – 2 – The Mission  

    The Ascendant will describe the happening this way: The increased speed of the demise of the universe is predicted and will impede the ultimate potential of our great existence. We posit, as has been offered before, that given enough time, any sentient species can attain a state of relative godhood. It is helpful to define…

  • The Ascendant – 1 – The Ascendant 

    If we speed forward billions of years to the far future, when Space will be veritable Swiss cheese with all of the wounds – which in this future will be barren, gray, and devoid of the shiny whirlpool at their centers that had been a feature of the wounds in the distant past – from…

  • Halloween Special Issue 3, Vol. IV – October 26, 2018

  • Halloween Special Issue 2, Vol. IV – October 23, 2018

    Ghost Stories * * * There you are again, back for more I presume. Very well, it only gets worse, dear reader.  October got cold really fast this year and my instinct is to be inside, as though it is a legitimate retreat from spookie things that dominate the season. You can’t hide from the…

  • Illuminatos – The Privilege

    The Privilege By Dr. Lynnette Jones It is a privilege to be a member of the Consortium of Human History. The best thing from my perspective is access to the annals of the organization that contains rare texts authored throughout humanity’s long and storied history. Some texts are thousands of years old and they show…
