PRL Serials

  • Sampling of Leaders of the Known Universe

    Argile Brom – Nexus of the Bromeris Ultimate Library. The Ultimate Library is the official capital building of the Bromeris and as the Nexus, Brom is the planet’s preeminent political figure. Brom’s tenure as Nexus is a lifelong post that involves overseeing the flow of information around the planet Bromeran and to other planets in…

  • The Ascendant – 5 – In Summation

    The necessity for social interaction will not be eliminated from the Ascendant and the race will not work toward full integration with machines as the final step in sentient evolution. By the time the Ascendant emerge in the universe, it will be populated by more sentient beings than at any point in its history, and…

  • The Ascendant – 4 – An Unexpected Confrontation

    There will be members of the Ascendant who will be capable of accessing Quinspace, the Special Realm or veil existence, from A-space, but their ability to access that energy will not grant the ability to perceive Quinspace as an inhabitant of that space does. Only a relatively small number of the Ascendant will have this…

  • 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…

  • December 19, 2018

    This is the end guys. Google Plus apparently leaked everyone’s data, so it’s going away. It’s sad to say goodbye. The construction of the PRL Serials as they exist today owes a lot to the tools available on this social media platform. It helped tremendously with archiving and organization and we here in the PRL…

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

    Ghost Stories * * * We do it because we want to, not because we have to. The PRL Serials was founded in 2014 because we enjoy the work. Not because we have to.  The spirit of the PRL, though, is older than the serials. Good fiction writing has existed for as long as the…

  • Illuminatos – Dank Weed

    The fall is cold, as though the seasons have skipped past the fall and straight to February winter. Becca and her boyfriend Damarcus are out late tonight enjoying the crisp cool and the warmth that they make together. They lie on a blanket watching the stars in the rural setting of New Salem, North Carolina.…

  • 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…
