Excerpt from an Alien Text Book by Matthew Howe

Section 345: Template cell collection for ABW cloning program.

Procedure 345-122: Collection of Terran cell templates for ABW cloning program.

Theory and Rationale:

The Autonomous Bio Worker (ABW) is a foundational pillar of the intergalactic economy. ABWs are employed on every developed planet to perform manual labor functions unsuited to advanced entities. In order to replicate new bio-workers to replace those worn out, damaged, or destroyed in accidents, a steady supply of new template cells is required. Cells from primitive life forms the galaxy over are harvested for use in these cloning programs. This procedure applies only to cell harvesting of bipedal beings from the third planet in the VV55432 system, life forms known as “Earthlings” or “Terrans.”

Terrans, due to their medium size, excellent physical strength and dexterity, ease of programming interface (owing to a crude and easily accessed nervous system), and ability to tolerate varied environmental conditions, make excellent ABWs. With proper maintenance, Terran ABWs have been known to provide service for as long as 14 cycles. They are used in nearly all ABW applications including mining and mineral processing, sanitation, and food cultivation and processing, making them one of the most successful species ever harvested for the ABW program. 

The procedures for template cell harvesting from other life forms approved for the ABW program can be found in procedures 345-1 through 345-2808.

Here at I’m With Geek, we adore fan art or innovative art of any kind. Combining the mediums of every show, film and comic we like, people who use art to convey scenes and scenarios that they like to see. Some are pretty stale, mainly down to talent and some our excellent but they both have passion. Adored and loved, hand crafted art is a completely incredible source of art. A lot of which filter into our internet, our t-shirts and our accessories. Fan art, like most art, is an endearing and real interpretation of the initial creations we love.

The Mint by Bruce Wallace - Short Story

Maria held the mint between her tongue and the roof of her mouth. Letting it stick, she felt a slight rise of panic as the menthol oozed and tickled. She knocked it back down and let it rattle against her teeth, laughing into the window that she leaned her forehead against. It was the little things that were going to get her through today. The little things, she thought, as she let out a sigh through her nose. The air steamed up the window. And just like that, the world began to ache again. 


The bus seemed to be on a slow crawl. As always, the minute it hit Central, the vehicle had joined a slew of others in this annoying every day occurrence. She wondered what would happen if there were no cars, or buses or trains. What would the world be like if everyone walked? Would we communicate more? Or hate each other more as the sea of bodies caused us to shuffle along, slowly like a mob after a football game. The thoughts exhausted her, especially as she had been on the bus for over an hour now; imagine being on foot from the outskirts of London.

Dear Diary…

Today was not a good day. There’s been so much pressure on me lately. I feel like the forces of nature have been pressing down on me especially hard, and if it continues I’ll be left completely empty inside.

Please help.

End of correspondence.

Article Written by Cookie N Screen

Art and charity go together like two peas in a pod. It is very rare to find an artist who isn’t willing to use their talents to raise some hard earned cash for some much needed charities. Incidentally, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Disney are names that are always entwined. So what happens when you mix art, GOSH and Disney? You get an incredible new charity expedition courtesy of budding artist Gregory Gaige.

He has started the DisneySketch365 charity event. The idea is to draw a new character every day and take requests (for a small fee.) He hopes to raise £5000 for Great Ormand Street Hospital using his talent, his determination...oh and a little bit of pixie dust.

Silence is Suicide - A Short Story by Leah Stone

The sudden ringing causes a searing pain to streak across my forehead as I reach out, fumbling, and press the button on the side of my alarm clock. Groaning, I roll onto my side and shield my eyes from the slit of sunlight coming through the curtains.

First day back at college.

Well shit, this is going to be fun. Me, the most socially awkward teen on the planet, placed in a room with people I hate, people I loathe, and people that act like complete apes. Seems like my idea of hell. Satan was most definitely planning to mess with me today.

I stretch the aches out of my gangly limbs and stand in front of the mirror. I look at the boy in front of me. Dull, faded skin, black rings around my eyes from insomnia. My hands had been rubbing my wrists on auto-pilot, aggravating the fresh cuts, causing them to sting that little bit more, so instead I slowly run my fingers through my jet black hair, and then let it gradually  fall back around my ears. I look myself up and down, taking in my pale complexion, green eyes; the multiple piercings that school teachers insisted I took out…..

Remembrance of The Doctor

By Michael Whiteley

The Doctor looked around his once full TARDIS. He let out a slight sigh of sadness and acceptance and headed to the main control console he used to prance and dance around with his best friends. He was a time traveler.  Or was at least; before New York. He was an adventurer, before the Angels took them away. He flicked the switches, pulled levers, pumped on the console. But he skipped hitting the bell that used to make his friends smile. 

"Not anymore" - The Doctor thought.
