Hearing Old News -- Dr. Dog
Here's a little something for from my other line of work: I've published a humorous short-short science fiction story about alternate history -- that's when you say "what would happen if [enter historical event] had happened some other way?" and write from there -- written from the point of a view of a company who makes a business out of showing people alternate time lines. It's a bit silly, but I get to kill off Hitler eight different times, and it's always a good day when you get to do that.

The story is here. Be aware that while it has no bad language, it does have a couple of adult themes -- and marketing speak. You have to decide which concerns you more.

  Like I said on the Whatever, I loved this piece.
  
  Personally, I'd love to see a sci-fi artist's rendition of 'The United States of Squidtopia.'
