My group has read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. We've taken notes on it and are still in the process of discerning elements of sci-fi within it.
We watched another episode of Twilight Zone, To Serve Man, featuring cannibal aliens disguised as benevolent 'Santa Clauses', to use the narrator's term.
I did figure out something to write. One of my bad habits is putting 'boxes' around my thinking and creativity. I often am outside of the box in life, yet I have this compulsion to cage parts of myself. Why is a rather long, unfinished story.
Mr. Schoenborn shared a writing prompt with two trainees shoved into a stargate with little to no explanation. I followed along for a while, then some ideas began to come. Maybe this 'stargate' is actually a portal to a different reality. The two trainees are a pair of friends visiting a television studio. An intelligence agency not affiliated with the government stalking them. Ray guns, hover boards, mullets?!
Yes, they land in an alternate 1985, a retro-futuristic empire.
Why 1985? Tribute and reference reasons, and I like the eighties. There are elements within the decade that could easily be adapted to a future setting. Like the wild fashions and animatronics... except that last one could be mistaken for a FNAF rip-off. Or, now that I think of it, more likely a Westworld rip off. (Link to the trailer is above the yellow phone)
