Back last year (somewhere around September), Marc pointed me to a site where this team of writers post one short sci-fi story a day. The aim was to have one such a short story a day for a year (hence the name, 365 tomorrows). Since then, I've been sure to read these stories as often as I can, and some of them are really wonderful, clever ideas, good prose, nice stuff. The best part is that these stories are real short (one page or less) and yet most of them pack one helluva punch.
The whole thing should've ended on July 31st after one year of good writing. However, early this month, the authors announced that they'd be doing this for one more year. 365 more tomorrows! Woohoo!
My two greatest favourites (I loved the rest, but these stood out so much that I still remember their names):

My name isn't in big enough letters *pout*.
I saw tonight in the observatory, through Alvan Clark\'s telescope, the Dumb-Bell nebula in the Fox and Geese Constellation... I have rarely been so much gratified... Of all tools, an observatory is the most sublime... What is so good in a college as an observatory? The sublime attaches to the door and to the first stair as you ascend; - that this is the road to the stars. Every fixture and instrument in the building, every nail and pin, has a direct reference to the Milky Way, the fixed stars, and the nebulae, and we leave ... the Americas and history at the door when we come in.
Who's that?
He is the Swami.
How informative.
Amazing!... 365 tomorrows is quite interesting. I'm about to start reading it, just drop a comment in here first. Thank you.
