While sci-fi isn't exactly my genre, I'm making an exception for today, as today (January 2nd, by my count) is National Science Fiction Day. So I'm channeling my inner H.G. Wells here, and don't hate on my approach to the genre. There are only specific things that I like.
- You wake up from a deep sleep and get up out of your bed to find that you have antelope legs where you used to have human legs. Pushing your hair back there are also two horns. That's when you realize, pushing away your grogginess, that you are in some kind of laboratory, and there are three bull-headed guards blocking your escape. What do you do now?
- In an alternative timeline, President James A. Garfield was never shot, as Charles J. Guiteau (his assassin) was too busy in his cult. (True story, look it up). He has turned the United States of America into a dictatorship, and you are yourself in 1884, during the height of his rule. What are you going to do? (If you come from another country, you are a general for the army of your country and need to figure out how to react to the new dictatorship).
- Steampunk time travel time! You live in a Victorian-era period where someone has just invented time travel. You're the first person to test it out. So you go either backwards or forwards in time to change some major event in history, and then the button breaks, sending you to January 2, 2013. How is life different because of what you changed?
