I have a confession to make
I sign up for online things. Mostly contests. I know I'm not going to win, but who couldn't use a thousand bucks of new camera gear, or a few thousand toward a vacation someplace I'd actually want to go. Mostly these things are gimmicks to get you to sign up for various newsletters. Usually a glance at one or two of them and unsubscribe. Once in a while I find interesting things, like this...

I have no idea how I got on Topic's mailing list, nor did they say anything about short stories but this is a cool series of five short films with a definite F/SF twist. They're a little Twilight Zone-ish in the 'what would you do if this very weird thing actually happened?' way, but they're more humorous/ironic than TZ ever was. Chalk it up to 21st century sensibilities, I guess.
Watch the films at least - it's worth your time. I haven't read any of the other contents yet; if you do, let me know what you think.
