This image (deleted) is just so chock full of promise, I don’t even know where to begin! There’s the gorgeous sci-fi city in the background, of course, but the girl in the foreground is what draws my attention. Is she a robot? Is she a cybernetically enhanced human?

It’s time for July’s daily writing prompts! July is all about the summer, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s also about sweet and treats like fruits and freezer delicacies! As always, you don’t have to necessarily go with the summery meaning of these words. There are quite a few this month that could be […]

While the photo in today’s photo prompt is a still photograph of a video exhibit, it’s still a really cool image, with many individual screens within a neon outline of the United States.
