Hyperlink Your Heart by randomhuman

Until there's nothing left 

Out of loneliness, or boredom, maybe, you assign a URL to your heart and share it on the forums and social networks you frequent.  The hits trickle in at first, the unusually curious trampling through, poking and prodding, unsure of what they’re seeing.  But then the links spread.  Everybody wants to see your heart, to have a role in pulling it apart and exposing its dark corners, drawing it out into thin strands stretching back and forth across the web.  You just hope it doesn’t fail under the load.


Hyperlink Your Heart is an ongoing collection of short science fiction stories.

Note: Hyperlink Your Heart contains some harsh language.


A growing collection of stories, updated weekly

The first page of "Beach" was well-written, although sprinkled with abbreviations I didn’t recognize.  Other stories can be found by using one of the links on the right-hand side:  Archive, the Select Category dropdown under Stories, or a link under Recent Posts.

scifi shorts on humanity & virtual reality

Member: capriox

I liked the writing so far in this collection of scifi vignettes & short stories.  "The Milgram Experiment" in particular was a heart-wrenching little bit of flash fiction that I loved – lots of emotional punch in very few words.  Excellent.  The general setting for the stories seems to be a future where AIs are powerful enough to mimic human interaction (they can maintain your twitter account for you!) and robots can "hand" paint replicas of masterpieces. 

My one complaint is that, so far, the description submitted for the WFG listing has only a vague connection to the stories, in the sense of the general setting.  Readers like me who are intrigued by that description are going to be disappointed when they don’t find any actual stories about it.
