N. WS. Jokela, more commonly known as WindySilver, is a Finnish programmer and a hobbyist artist fighting a war against procrastination on the losing side. When her free time is not taken up by things like reading, procrastination, video games, watching series or more procrastination, she mainly writes sci-fi fanfiction and original flash fiction of various genres.

FFM 2026 20: Waking Up
A direct continuation to FFM 2026 19: An Invitation. More lightly edited than most because I needed this out of the worklist ASAP. Steirdrar felt awful upon waking up. Dehydration. Hunger. Bad signs. But he was lying on his side on something incredibly soft? "Good, keep waking up. Follow my voice," someone spoke. Loud, firm but … Continue reading FFM 2026 20: Waking Up

"Figures." Iazyer shifted a bit. "Are 'ey worse 'an a stranger offering you a place at 'eir guest room?" Steirdrar wished Iazyer had their helmet off so he could see their expression. "Depends on the stranger and location."

Cue bananas.
FFM 2026 17: Crash down
The urge to just run away did not lose its hold on him when he made it to the clearing he had found earlier. If anything, it gripped his chest harder. He wanted to just keep walking and walking and walking away until no one would bother pursuing him anymore, just get away from it all.
FFM 2026 16: A Cultist
The smell of Fateguiders, of a sweet fruit she later learned was called 'banana', of Hioth-Shu, of Ink'Horn, it followed Zerela as she fled, her apology probably a garbled combination of many languages rather than anything intelligible, until it no longer did.
FFM 2026 15: Comeuppance: Delivered
Cou-2 kept things professional when they made it to the apartment C'zlu's family lived in. They were getting looks from the civilians — courier Mechs were rare in the civilian parts of the base, Infini'tech Labs Mechs much less so — but they ignored it. They had a job to do.
FFM 2026 14: Bananas
The Flash Fiction Metaverse Mansion had turned yellow overnight. Or at least the facade had. What was even more suspicious was the chanting of "banana banana banana banana banana" that came from inside, accompanied by Hydra's laughter. What the fuck? Windy had a very bad feeling about this.
FFM 2026 13: Hungover
Damp'n'FurryII: It's all right, no harm done. How are you feeling? Hungover, I imagine? The messaging system informed him that Beyari had turned a speech-to-text system on and was responding.
