Aphelion, Beam Me Up, Danger Magnet, and More

Part Two of this morning's post with free short stories and much more.

Free online fiction from Jeff Patterson, "Thrilling Holiday Tales."

"Don't get me wrong, he always remembers important dates, like birthdays and anniversaries. A mind of such a critical caliber as Max Venture's could never forget such things. Nor does he neglect the spirit of the time. Each year I am showered with exotic gifts from places most people would not believe exist"

And for those in a hurry, cool SF flash fiction from 365 tomorrows "Sufficiently Advanced" by Sam Clough.

Audio Fiction
Beam Me Up has its 135th podcast up (Keep 'em coming Paul!).

This week Paul has "lots of interesting stuff from the blog, but first - the story this week is a short take from Colin P. Davies called "Babel 3000." What if polite society in the future were all about the newest word? Not any ole word will do, it must be unique. And what makes this tale so very unique is how one goes "fishing" for just the right word. It truly is babel. From the blog, the universe may be a recycled older universe!?, Does FOX hate science fiction?, Take a look at what 10 megajoules did to the LHC, Will someone be able to spy on your dreams soon?"
