Review: The Life and Death of Pyramiden 2024-2054 Availiable from the BoingBoing vaults from 09/09/2081 This documentary uses personal accounts and historical evidence to recreate various stages in the timeline of the settlement of Pyramiden on the Norwegian Island of Svalbard from its foundation in 2024 to its destruction in 2054.

Resolute: Star of the North By Christopher Bradley Jones 7th August, 2081 Resolute in 2007 Resolute Today The city of Resolute, Nunavut has become to be seen as a textbook example of the “New North,” more well known than the Antarctic “New South” by virtue of availiable land. Cities like Hammerfest, Fury and Hecla and Winterfell either experienced massive growth or sprung up from nothing in the early to mid twenty first century as temperatures warmed and commercial activity throughout the north. At the beginning of the 21st century Resolute was little more than a hamlet that was home to native Inuit populations and

First Day of Sixth Month The heatwave across the Eastern provinces continues. It continues to be hotter than a dragons tonsils and annoyingly crowded across the town. Something about the summer sun suddenly reminds people that nature exists again and outside is more than just what you travel through to get to your destination. I'm writing this in the Goblins head, a pub relaxingly devoid of tourists by virtue of a lack of charm combined with high beer prices forcing away patrons looking to get pissed as the hand of the market does as its supposed too. However, I'm not looking to get drunk. I am however already on my third pint. Today is a s

My name is Gaius I'm Fourteen years old My parents don't understand me. They won't let me go to to the Colosseum alone And they wont let me free any of the slaves that they own They say stay away from those Celts and Goths and Don't dress like that!

I hate my parents and their old fashioned views Hello, I'm Sigurd I live in the North and I'm stuck here until I grow up My dad's off for months raiding the saxon lands and I offer them

SAMPLE PAGE ONE PANEL 1. DISTANT SHOT- TOWN can be seen in distance. Wooden walls around a few buildings. Two Small figures (OWYN AND KATIE) are walking down path with farms on either side. Similarly small figures are tending to fields by hand. If you want, a few cottages can be around the farmlands. Maybe ruined houses in amongst the farms, to suggest this used to be the outskirts of a town. The road is a modern one but cracked and overgrown.

In the beginning the old mother took all her dreams and thoughts and set them on fire and in the smoke from the fire the universe was created, spreading like air across the void. She looked upon her creation and knew that the universe was too much for her alone. Like us, her dreams were far more than her mind could ever contemplate. So she created for herself , out of her dreams, four children. Two sons, and two daughters, to keep her company and help her govern the universe. The eldest son was tall and strong, unmoving and patient. He stood by his mother as all rushed about them. He was given the earth, the mountains and trees who, like hi

18th July 1997 Lois Lane knocked on the wooden door. A clear resounding voice on the other side replied "Come in!" and somehow this made Lois more nervous than she already was. She opened the door and entered the reception room of Clark Kent's Metropolis apartment. The decor was quite sparse with only a few items such as the pennant of his high school football team and a few framed photos. Clark himself stood and turned to face her, cutting out a lot of light from the glass window behind him. Through the window Lois could see STAR labs, and in the distance the Lexcorp building. He smiled softly "Ms Lane, good afternoon, please come in," she

Daily Planet 30th September 1996 Introducing: The Justice League (continued from page one) upon the defeat of the Appelaxian threat the group of heroes gathered to speak to the assembled press. The team is composed of the heroes Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter, all of whom had previously only been active individually.
