About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story to the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this, I have fun writing them, and most importantly, the audience enjoys!
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You P.E. Rowe
We are blessed by your hard work. This was thought provoking on many fronts . I'm always worried about manipulation as i know many people are so manipulated, that almost everything they believe is demostrably false. The are willfully as ignorant as the proverbial 3 monkeys. It conjures thoughts of the film "Psywar" – Scott Noble , and the book "Manufactoring Consent" – Chompsky and Herman, and "A Peoples History of The United States " – Howard Zinn , and all the lies of today using Ai and more Sophisticated means. It reminds us of "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false" – CIA Director William J. Casey. and " He who controls history controls the present" – George Orwell "1984" . This could been alternatively titled The Dark Art of History. Though the artist won a small battle against social cultural manipulation, it was absorbed well enough by the Machiavellian elite.
On a lighter note where is MetalFace?
ALWAYS willing to wait (eagerly) for Your next upload. Your stories NEVER seem long. To the contrary, they fly past. But then, i never could put down a good book 🙏💜⚡
More boring waffle, you have ruined Misfits, just stop. Goes nowhere slowly, explains nothing about the plot. 1 out of 10.
My fix has arrived.
139 minutes of pure awe. Such consistently unfathomable talent on display week after week is a joy and privilege to listen to.
Thank you is too weak a phrase to cover the gratitude I feel for your sharing of your work.
In regard to your concern about maintaining weekly postings: Consistent postings are great but inconsequential if it gets in the way of producing your artful work.
Post weekly if you can but take whatever time is necessary to perfect your work.
I will say that I appreciate your posts announcing delays so I don’t think I’ve missed something in searching for your work. Besides, I still have a bit of your already posted work left from before I found this amazing channel.
Be well!
Ahhh, best Friday morning
“Transom never seemed to worry about anything.”
Gonna have to do some Goss Punching. That guy is insufferable
He needs a good kick in the Goss.

Thank you
Awww! I love the connection with the musician story! One of my favorites.
Its Ok, your allowed bathroom breaks lol
A++ Story
MARK CEN CAL OK here we go😅😅😅
As always a realy good chapter, defenitly one of the best scyfi authors of the recent years. The sad part Is that i enjoy imagining this World that you have created, just as i enjoyed listening to my mother reading the lord of the rings as i was a child, the rithem and cadence sumerges you in a diferent World, in your mind. The day they turn your story in to a movie or series Will be a sad a day, as the day they premiert the LOR, not becaus it's bad but becaus it ends the personal inner creation, for a colective one. I'll keep listening. No matter how long it takes for a new chapter to come out. The qualty Is extra ordinary. It would lose so mutch if there would be a canon depiction of this World. But it Will happen i know it.
Hubris thy name is Dreeson…
Quality
I am willing wait. Although a set up and go taken down would be nice. I understand it’s not your style tho.
Great story. Perfect length.
I love the meter and pacing.
I love the callback to "Playing the Sondomme".
You really captured the essence of the life of musical prodigies.
I’m not sure if you did it intentionally, but I think this time travel thing you’ve done here is really damn smart. Gives you the ability to tell stories that span lifetimes without killing off any of your characters. Hats off to you, Rowe. You never fail to disappoint.
As always, magnificent story. Thank you Rowe.
Your beautiful soul-touching stories are a gift to humanity. I hope one day they become famous.
MARK CEN CAL TRANSOM MY MAN I used to hate to love him what you see is what you get 😂
Transom BABK 😂
My formal training in linguistics is limited to a few courses a decade ago OK decades ago your introduction of linguistic patterns into the story totally has me hooked an entirely new level thanks bro
Another fantastic episode! Thanks Mr Rowe!
MARK CEN CAL Transom Bad Ass Block Kicker BABK
So we learnt …. Nothing
Maybe I'm too stupid to understand but what was the point of this story? How does it further the plot in any meaningful way?
Thank You. Another beautiful story from the Misfits universe
I didn't like these characters until this story. They are faithful to their roles in the world, and needed of course. But they underestimate the Misfits of the Universe, who often are the ones who get the job done at the worst of times. They can see what's needed & just do it, despite what people think.
Don't know how you manage to nail things so accurately but well done. Beautifully narrated.
ALWAYS willing to wait (eagerly) for Your next upload. Your stories NEVER seem long. To the contrary, they fly past. Please don't stress if you can't keep a weekly schedule.
I gave my mother a bag kisluxs on the festival day. She liked it very much. It is easy to carry and not easily scratched. My mother often carries it when she goes out on rainy days. But it still looks new. I will consider buying another one next time I have the chance.
A credit to the unique narrative voices. So often we hear the stories as told by Birch; easy going, folksy level headed.
Hearing from ¿Carston there is a clear difference in wha he observes and how he progresses the events around him.
Well done Rowe!
