Welcome DreamForge Magazine Issue 4

Time and space are indifferent to our existence, yet without our struggles to bring it meaning, the whole of the cosmos is irrelevant. Inside each mind waits a universe. We can be the creators that dream the world.

The Accelerating Future

Change can be uncomfortable, dangerous, and daunting. Admittedly, whatever problem concerns us today, tomorrow’s solutions will only cause more complications and worry down the road. Yet we go on.

Space Heater

Angela Yuriko Smith reminds us that we all want to be more than a heat signature, a momentary rebellion against entropy. We can be the creators that dream the world.

The Ghost of a Smile

If there are spirit guides for the living, let them be as John Jos Miller envisions them, given form by the written word and empowered by a belief that grows out of love.

Cessation of Civilization

In this “if at first you don’t succeed” tale, Marie brings home the point that life, and civilization, are an ongoing experiment, a work of art, and an exercise in craftsmanship.

Autoimmune

What happens when you travel back in time to save your grandfather and stop a plague, only to be confronted by yourself, and yourself, and yourself!?

Hot Times at Shady Pines

The age of eternal youth and the banishing of decay is not far off, but what about those left behind? Even in our time, the young have little use for geezers.

The Last Petal

Beauty and the Beast is not always a love story, nor is the true beast always the one against whom the villagers turn their wrath. In partnership lies survival.

Beyond Our Hidden Stars

Imagination, community, and belonging are the keys to survival in any age. Nowhere will they be needed more than among the asteroids, those cold rocks we must mine to build new worlds.

Extremophile

Robert E. Harpold has operated spacecraft, designs trajectories for the Orion missions, and has been to some very cold places. It all comes together as he imagines a discovery on Europa.

Dreamforger

Once a master craftsman of nightmares, Nordri labors under a curse of empathy. The curse has tangled around his soul and linked him to those suffering from the dreamforger's art.
