I'm reblogging an article from ScreenCraft about why short stories make such great movies.

The Collective SF / Skin-Deep
I have another log entry for you from my alter ego, Wifelier Docht, over at The Collective SF's blog. This latest installment is a bit grim and may just qualify as sci-fi-horror. You be the judge of that: Skin-Deep Will I ever escape? Do I dare think this? How many times over the 300 years have … Continue reading The Collective SF / Skin-Deep
