The Sky Didn't Load Today and Other Glitches

Thirty futures. One thousand words or less. Reality has stopped following the rules.

A woman trades bodies to survive. An alien forest hides something hungry. Technology rewrites the mind, the flesh, and the truth itself.

In The Sky Didn’t Load Today and Other Glitches, Rich Larson delivers 30 tightly crafted works of flash fiction, each complete in 1,000 words or less. Every story drops you into a new future, introduces one unforgettable idea, and gets out before you can catch your breath.

Thirty Short Stories. No Filler.

Travel from biolab bunkers to deep space, alien ecosystems, corrupted realities, and futures that feel disturbingly close.

Inside, you will find:

• Mind-bending science fiction
• Unsettling horror
• Dark comedy
• Alien worlds and altered bodies
• Dangerous technology
• Human choices with inhuman consequences

These stories may be short, but their ideas are anything but small.
