“Emergency shutoff sequence zero one eight! EMERGENCY SHUTOFF SEQUE—MMNPH!” Purah cringed as a baby bottle full of milk shoved itself between her lips. Holding it in place was the mechanical arm of a guardian, one of many she’d salvaged to create her dream invention. Four held her limps spread in the air while others moved around her. One fluffed the skirt of her buttercup yellow dress. Two more tugged tight the ears of the new bow in her hair. And one last one buried itself deep in her diaper for a “check” that had been going on for minutes now. Her eyes rolled back in her head as her privates twitched and tingled from the attention. Can’t… Stop it…! Weakly, she began to suckle on the rubber nipple in her mouth. She knew from the last four it would only leave her lips once empty, even though her stomach was starting to ache from fullness. It didn’t matter what she tried, the machine just refused to listen to her! It was almost like it had a mind of its own, because she certainly hadn’t programmed it to go this far. Just as she was beginning to lose hope, the door to her room slowly creaked open. Purah’s heart lurched with fear. “Purah?” Zelda stepped in. “I heard screaming. Are you…” She froze, eyes going wide at the sight before her. Purah’s cheeks flushed, and her knees tried to knock together in shame. The lights on Purah’s automatic nursery blinked suddenly. All free arms swiveled to face the door, Zelda jumping in surprise. “New baby detected,” the machine spoke. “RRRRRRNNNN!” Purah cried. “W-What…?” Zelda was too slow to react. The hands suddenly surged forward, and she screamed. It seemed Purah had a new playmate now, whether she wanted it or not.
Purah finds out the hard way that she's not a good programmer. (Have I ever mentioned I love robot nurseries, lol?)

Book cover for "Kahi and Lua: Tales of the First and the Second" by Melissa Llanes Brownlee. Dark blue starfield background with a abstract black outline illustration of an organic, rounded shape at center. Title in bold white text at top, author name in white at bottom.
A novella-in-flash about Hawai'ian gods navigating late-stage capitalism.
Through keen observations of modern life and immortality, Brownlee uses the characters to reflect on the beauty and sadness of existence.

Movie poster for The Secret Agent. Painted in warm amber and cream tones, three men's faces emerge from loose brushstrokes — expressive, slightly weathered, each gazing in a different direction. Below them, two small silhouetted figures walk together against a white background, suggesting a father and son on the run. A faded government stamp marks the lower right corner. The design evokes vintage 1970s political cinema.

Wagner Moura delivers the most charismatic lead performance of 2025 in a film that trusts its audience the way 70s Hollywood political thrillers did.

From miles away, Harper could smell Korgrad burning. Ash, smoke, and under it, flesh. Without telling Kalin in front of him, he sat the forest road and cried. Everyone he knew was dead or dying. He wanted to join them.

100 word drabble for the prompt: "quicksilver". Would that Aventurine could witness for himself that gold gilt brilliance in the snap of his fingers, enduring as thunder, volatile as lightning. He smiles with silvered knives, his favourite words playing at nonsense, whip-sharp over the din of the card table. "All in," he says, light with laughter. As if he had not just hanged, drawn, and quartered a king of rats and swindling promises. He dodges a tumbler with a gentle tilt of his head. Waves for guards. Adjusts the face of his watch. When all is done, Ratio pretends not to see the shaking of his hands.
