The Long Arm of Revenge
The Long Arm of Revenge
Fred and Luther sat in the back of the closed van which carried the trunk-full of cash to be dispensed at automatic teller machines all over the city. They were just three kilometers away from the bridge that led to the city gates. Fred blew a puff of smoke from his cigarette and said, ‘This van is too small for us. Three’s a crowd. Two people are enough

The year was 2056 AD. Professor Lily Heisenberg stepped out of her time transporter in disgust. She still found herself in 2056 when she had expected to step out in 2063 AD. Nothing had changed. She had spent the seven best years of her life on research to continue where Einstein had left off.
Her seven-year itch she called it. Her dream of

The Red-Haired Sibling
Zak looked at the redhead seated opposite him and marveled at her thirst for alcohol. She had been consuming whiskey ever since they had arrived at the club. This was their first date.
‘Rita, do stop drinking,’ Zak said with concern. ‘That is the 4th glass of whiskey you have had. Even three is one too many.’
‘You want me sober for bed isn’t it?’ asked

The Buzzing of the Honey-Bee
Professor Wally Darwin threw his test tube away in disgust. He had been trying to create this new species of honey-bee through genetic mutation for a long time. But what did he keep getting? The same old type of bee again and again. It had been nearly twenty years since Wally had started experimenting on artificially induced mutation. He had managed to

The Peace-Queen
Professor Zhuang Zhang looked at his humanoid the ‘MA-KING’ with pride. MA-KING stood for ‘Martial Arts - King’. The humanoid was a male prototype. Professor Zhuang planned to make MA-KING the best-known exponent of all the martial arts known to the world. He was meant to be far superior to human beings in martial arts of any kind.
Professor Zhuang had spent a lot

The Reincarnation
The Reincarnation
Professor Lily Rutherford looked at her dog Silver and said sadly, ‘What should I do Silver, all of them believe I am a crank.’ Lily was a firm believer in reincarnations. She had set out to create a machine which would transport a person forward to his or her next birth. She had already spent twenty years of her life in trying to create this incredible transponder

The Five-Set Thriller
The world-famous scientist Professor Lucio Einstein stared at the latest robot he had created in puzzlement. He had named the robot Andrei after his country’s famous retired tennis star Andrei Agassi as he intended the robot to have the ability to play tennis. But the robot had steadfastly refused to pick up the tennis racquet he had placed in front of it.

The Forgotten Gift
The date was 24th December 2095. Captain Richard Merrymaker looked down at his little six-year-old daughter Nora and smiled at her glum face.
Nora said sullenly. ‘Why do you always have to miss Christmas?’
‘I will be back soon darling. I will not be gone for more than ten days.’ Richard winked at her. ‘Tomorrow Santa Claus will be bringing you gifts and as always

I woke up at 6.00 AM in the morning. I stretched and yawned and looked at the empty pillow by my side in misery. I still remembered how Maggie's beautiful face would look up and smile at me every morning from that pillow. It had been nearly a year since Maggie had died and I had still not gotten over her death.
I remembered our usual morning
