APHELION: UPDATE


The Webzine of Science Fiction and Fantasy

A war long past had erased centuries of technological progress. The naked man Esther found in the ruined church brought some of it back -- but at a terrible cost.

Be Then What You Be By Ann Hasseler De Carrasco
Scamper's new stepmother had a problem: the woman became a small white dog whenever Scamper was around. She claimed that Scamper was a witch...and Scamper's father believed it.

A two-fisted -- well, two-pawed -- tale set in the dark and dirty world of underground interspecies boxing.

Christian Hodges was looking for something different to do with his family. What could be more different than the conjuring of a ghost on the beach?

Playing God By Ilan Herman
One minute, Jack had been walking through the park. The next, he was on board a spacecraft, and his host -- or captors -- had a rather unusual job for him to do.

Tithonus Redux By Richard Tornello
It all started when Artie took pity on the cat -- the very large, apparently blind cat -- that had parked itself in the middle of the road. The whole 'three wishes' thing came later.

A.F.T. Inc. By Erin Fanning
Jake was already the star of his high school football team, but the stranger had promised him a shot at the big time. Of course, there was a price to be paid -- in advance.

Blow-Up By Dave Weaver
Eric Payne had been a good employee for Primus Disposal -- right up until the moment when he ran screaming out of the teleportation feed room and tried to cut his wrists.

Imagine Getting Away... By Joseph Thompson
Esau was in a rut, arranging travel for other people, but never traveling himself. Realizing how deep that rut was would change his life.

Ethelbert By Thomas G. Vincent
Prince Ethelbert was something of a disappointment to his father the King. King Felder thought the boy needed to be a strong and skilled warrior to lead the kingdom; Ethelbert had other ideas.
