Many things can happen when your brain is about to go to sleep. Five short stories by Ernie Howard to help you see... The Midnight Portal. The Light Through the Water If my father hadn't pulled me out of the water I would have stayed dead. Just before I blacked out, I saw the most beautiful light coming through the water.

And I eventually saw mine again. This is the story of my light. The Light Through the Water A World Without The Future is Scary! Anthony's wife Susan has lost her love. She takes long business trips, and talks in clipped sentences. The problems that Anthony sees in his marriage are not what they seem. They are bigger than the two people who can't seem to get back to where they once were. At Norworld, we prolong life through A.I. We take away the suffering with technology. "If the one person in your life you loved the most was there one second and gone the next what would you do? You would explore every possibility to get them back.

We take away the suffering with Technology." - Dr. Thad Feast Singularity is near. The Droids are Becoming... What really is consciousness? Is it what we can see, taste, hear, and feel?
