The Rebertian Times

My friend recently started publishing a serialized short science fiction story on his group blog, and it’s terrific so far. It’s intriguingly titled “Cities of Bronze and Glass”. It’s about a “device” that seeks to find the mysterious “Creator”. In doing so, it buries itself only after making a backup of itself, which it names “Two”. This inevitably leads to a large population of devices (“Forty-Three” is mentioned at one point), all being backups and all trying to find “the Creator”. I don’t think I can adaquately summarize the typical SciFi atmosphere of mystery in it, suffice it to say that no further backstory is given, which is par for the course in Science Fiction. I highly encourage you to read it as it’s quite novel and original. My friend hasn’t finished it yet, so I eagerly await the upcoming parts in order to learn how the story ends.

If you like it, you might also enjoy a considerably longer story from the same blog: “Awakening“. I think my other friend ,the Illuminati Ninja, would appreciate that story, especially considering the vague similarity to his story which was took place on a Pan-Dimensional Waffle, among other settings.
