I probably don’t have to point this out but shorts are amplified by accompanying GIF. :p
B.O.B To Europa 1
The idea of turning over command of the ship to an A.I. system during mission-critical situations never sat well with me and now I have to do it. The crew are all in emergency suspension and now I’m about to go under. Here’s hoping B.O.B. enjoys our company… #renounce #vss365 pic.twitter.com/5lvrSgSeRS

Long, thin hands unfolded from the trees.
“Cobble path!”, I yelled.
They flipped me off.
A deer with a man’s face, hunched on a boulder overhang.
“COBBLES!”, I shouted.
Around the bend lay dirt.
“Fuckers…”
I went back to the ranger’s hut for a shovel. #vss365 #stray pic.twitter.com/AwwGcLXN1B— Weird Shit with Alex (@SynBoomstick) July 29, 2019

Mom got my brother 2 Zebra Finches. Now there are 14 and I have to care for them. A 5-foot radius of shit defies all containment.#vss365 #flock pic.twitter.com/FzTnStuGtm— Weird Shit with Alex (@SynBoomstick) July 30, 2019
My troops and I haul the carcass of the fabled Gassgouser of Elm-Scar Island to our waiting boat. One of us was eaten outright and three more slain. We’re covered in dirt, sweat, and blood. God, this horrid thing stinks. Her Majesty designs THE worst centerpieces. #vss365 #queen pic.twitter.com/nuwGjhjIkC

1. Do not touch the hatch handle. Don’t even look at it.
2. Get a hammer and nails from the “work shed”.
3. Nail the hatch down, replace the rug.-from “So You’ve Found A Cellar”, found on a desk in a cellar next to an evil book with a face#vss365 #cellar #prompt #groovy pic.twitter.com/1MqpJ5Z87W

You’ve been inside your dreams thousands of times. You’ve chased a million people, sought countless objects, walked every path. You’re #familiar with every tactic, yet your brain somehow keeps outsmarting you with the exact same unreachable MacGuffins.
I hate that!#vss365 pic.twitter.com/7Q0aYsRwf8

The demon hunched in the circle. “WHY DO YOU SUMMON- WAIT.” It stared at the child in front of it. “WHAT-”
“Make Billy pee his pants at school.”
“WHAT?”
“You gotta do what I say, the computer said so.” The boy pointed at the gerbil in the circle.

B.O.B To Europa 2
{good morning commander|repairs complete} B.O.B’s voice droned as the effects wore off, a cotton taste demanded coffee. I pulled my hair from its bun, letting it float like my tipsy mind. “How are the crew?” {they are well} Out the port hole, #Jupiter had grown in size.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/IbBS1o8OVw

“My Lady,” spoke the General, “You command the known world.”
She inclined Her head, addressing Her General. “This I know, my most trusted. Why do you speak these words?”
“My Lady, we scouted beyond and found another.”
“World?”
“No. Empress.”

B.O.B To Europa 3
“All I’m saying is the call made me nervous.”
“Come on Ellie, you know that B.O.B is as invested in the mission as we are. He repaired the ship.”
“Stop saying “he”. It’s a computer, Simon. It needs the ship.”
“He needs us, too.”
“Does “he”? Really?” #vss365 #Emotion pic.twitter.com/MOPj6DsQ10— Weird Shit with Alex (@SynBoomstick) August 8, 2019
Protozoans live a science fiction life. Their whole world is always on the brink of destruction and they must gather what they can to live life as space vagabonds until the next habitable planet presents itself. Horton missed the SETI call. #vss365 #evaporate pic.twitter.com/sGzdgDhjcr

Two warriors stood amid the chaos.
Spoke the first, “I seek #glory in battle!”
Spoke the second, “She stands before you!”#vss365 pic.twitter.com/epSNVSJwd2— Weird Shit with Alex (@SynBoomstick) August 9, 2019

#Vermillion banana. I stand in the produce section, unsure. Is it edible or am I looking at the ass-end of a deadly exotic spider? Curiosity wins out and the banana goes through check-out with me. I get home, peel the banana-

All the pictures we see of our kind are dumb. We’re always eating pumpkins or flailing on our backs. You have a disturbing preoccupation with how we mate. You think we’re funny.

Each squad runs with an elite Varus #renegade.
Sle’en runs with us.
I am her renegade.
I don’t need anyone to “get it”.
She surprises me in the lockers.
Her scales are smooth
like the creamed-coffee they mimic.
They shine with her oil
as we slide together like serpents.#vss365 pic.twitter.com/We9mCQCpck
