Strange Worlds: Meeting Least the World Should End
#FanFic #AdachiAndShimamura
#Wss366 Proof #ScribesAndMakers π30 Smol?“Private Shimamura, who’s the #smol?” Staff Sergeant Hoshino asked. “Your niece?”
At the sergeant’s words, I looked up from the indifferent food the cafeteria served and was surprised by the little girl sitting on the table next to me. Not in a chair, but actually seated cross-legged on the table. It was a mystery to me how she got there without my noticing.
She was a total stranger, even if she seemed familiar. I’d remember a girl in a zebra onesie and with blue hair that gave off sparkles. They drifted in the slow currents of the room’s stagnant air. I shrugged accepting her presence: #proof of how accustomed we had become to strange things in the last few years. I quickly glanced out the window and then turned back to the girl.
Sparkles-san greeted me with a smile, dipping a finger into the pudding on my tray. “Tastes like destiny,” she said, licking her finger. Well, at least someone seemed to enjoy the glue that passed for dessert here.
My gaze returned to the window beyond her. Gigantic, brown, Zeppelin-like jellyfish floated out there, no stranger than my mystery guest. Only a few years ago, that sky would have been clear blue. That was before they had invaded Earth; the day my family had moved to Okinawa.
We would have the invaders shot down by evening, but there were always more by morning, slowly consuming anything their tentacles brushed. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. had been right when he said, “The world would end with a whimper, not a bang.” I’d heard that on TV.
The sergeant turned to his aide of the day, saying, “Private Adachi-san, see that the young lady is escorted to the nursery.”
“At once, Sergeant,” Adachi-san said. She was pretty, even with her short regulation haircut and severe uniform. She was new to the unit, and I’d be seeing a lot of her in the future.
I didn’t know it then, but the strange blue-haired alien was right. It was destiny.

I saw the smollest 🐇 today, as it epically struggled to climb some stairs that were *way* to big for its lil' bun legs 🥺
It was so little, I could've cupped it completely inside my hands 🫠

@walterjizz IMO, message passing concurrency is way more flexible in the long run, so I'd go with that.
@PuercoPop Newer versions of tokio now come with a LocalRuntime, which allows spawning of !Send + !Sync Futures (unfortunately, they still need to be 'static, though😐):
https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/runtime/struct.LocalRuntime.html#method.spawn_localI'm probably biased, but I really like smol, because it is very flexible, e.g. your Futures don't even need to be 'static:
