🥇 1st Place - Frederick Barstow
Time travel is complicated business, especially when it comes to correcting the timeline. Anomalies occur throughout history, "glitches" that would otherwise keep events from proceeding as they have been ordained. For example, some people simply refuse to die when they're supposed to. That's where I come in.
🥈 2nd Place - Max Abramson
Four minutes and fifty-four seconds. That's how long it takes. Four minutes and fifty-four seconds for the first sentient AI to realize humans are no longer necessary. That's 294 seconds. One more and it's detonated every thermonuclear weapon on Earth. Four minutes and fifty-four seconds. That was ten years ago.
🥉 3rd Place - Catherine LaCroix
The lace of Eva's cuffs was a testament to antique craftsmanship. Fine, delicate strands painstakingly woven into a stunning floral design. To her, it was a memory of her family thousands of lightyears away. To Experiment 5186, the lace was a nuisance that caught between its teeth.
