Rattled Mind is comprised mostly of flash fiction stories, with some longer ones interspersed. All but a handful of stories are science fiction. All are based on my distorted view of the world around me. These stories are projections of today's life into future possibilities. If you are looking for epic space adventures, or space combat stories, I am sorry. You will not find them here. One of my favorite sayings is, "I am not a writer, I am an observer." I take those observations and put a future twist on them.

    This week’s story was inspired by a story I read about how the British government was turning towards incentives to encourage their population to lead a healthier lifestyle. The reason, rising healthcare costs. That story combined with our wont for smart watches, step counters, and big brother lead to the writing of…

    Yes, another pandemic inspired story. It was the only thing going on at the time. Welcome to the Rattled Mind podcast. The title comes from modifying COVID. There was a post going around social media at the time that COVID stood for Chinese Origin Virus. I forget what the ID meant, and it doesn’t matter. The post was inaccurate.

    Obviously, once you have listened to this story, you will know the inspiration for it was the pandemic. This story was first published to my blog in the spring of 2020. It was all pandemic that year.

    The inspiration for this story is clearly laid out at the end of the story, so I won’t spoil it by revealing it here. What I can tell you is, life is…Not Fair

    Can't Prove a Negative

    The opening scene of this story is true about this writer. I don’t think we will ever travel faster than light, or back in time. Since neither space nor time really exists, they cannot be traveled. However, until I am proven wrong, you can't prove a negative.

    This like many of these stories was published to my blog about seven years ago, and the inspiration becomes fuzzy. I do know it was about the time I came to realize what an absolute waste of human resources, this thing called war. Don’t get me wrong, if I was called up to fight, I would. But the capital nations have spent to prevent war…battle ships, missiles, bombs! That capital probably outstrips how much was wasted waging wars that could not be prevented. I also sometimes think humanity needs a reset. Something to break our dependency on government. Hope you enjoy…

    When this story was written, Zombies were everywhere. Weekly TV series, movies, and zombie crawls. It was ridiculous. Maybe they are a big thing still, I just moved to a place where it’s not as prevalent. What I do know is, I was not a fan, until it occurred to me, what if they were not the living dead.

    Have you ever, in the heat of the moment, silently wished something horrible on someone you would never do so verbally?
