Short Bits Volume 6: Four Original Science Fiction & Fantasy Stories

By Belinda Crawford

Four original stories from the wild edges of science fiction and fantasy.

Short Bits is a rebellious mix of LitRPG, cyberpunk, and science fantasy - bite-sized tales where characters push back against fate and the world. Crafted for readers who believe destiny is something you carve with your own hands, these stories celebrate defiance, choice, and the power of refusing to stay in your lane.

Volume 6 brings you four new worlds to explore. It begins with Void Protocol: All Sales Are Terminal, a dive into the virtual alleyways of the Game, where deals are made and disputes are settled with steel. Fathom returns to the world of The Hero Rebellion, where a telepath hunts alien technology in the deep, while Reports He Hid pulls you into the near future, where magic plays with darkness and the hunter becomes the prey.

It all ends with Dead Memory, a dark cyberpunk tale where a mob doctor plunders memories for secrets hidden in blood.

Each story includes a behind-the-scenes introduction, offering insight into the inspiration, the process, and the worlds that shaped them.

Perfect for fans of fast, high-concept speculative fiction. Together, these four tales form a map of the Defiant Multiverse - four worlds, four choices, four acts of rebellion.
