Since my memory is failing and Google isn't any better, I'm going to #askFedi for some #fediHelp finding the title and author of a #SciFi#ShortStory featuring a #timeLoop: “they” suddenly appear wish spaceships on the edges of the Solar System and with no warning wipe out the outer colonies. Earth quickly sets up a space navy to face the unknown enemy, but as the enemy approaches Earth it stops fighting and is easily defeated.
@grumpygamer there's a movie I can't remember the title of where the main character has a brain that keeps growing, and there's a scene where he steals the part of it that was surgically removed and had kept growing in a lab, and buries it together with some abnormally long bones.
(BTW if anybody can help me find it, I'd be grateful. #TOMT#askFedi)
@communist_kangaroo hot damn you made me remember a short sci-fi story I read eons ago just about that. Can't remember author or title, it was something like an old lady living alone in a huge city, waking up disturbed by a noise in the middle of the night and walking across the city to find a running tap, and then writing a letter to a friend of hers saying she was considering moving to a quieter town? #TOMT#fediHelp
I think the neon signs were alive too or something like that.
Ok so I joined fedia.io because I like trying out fedi projects and I occasionally used #Reddit. Seems like in a couple of days it’s gotten some things fixed up and more content I actually care about. But there is no #TOMT (tip of my tongue) magazine yet, so hoping someone will create that because I’m not really cut out to be a magazine admin but I love sleuthing for obscure cartoons, video games, toys etc. that someone remembers from 20 years ago and just wants to see again to recapture a little piece of their childhood in this wild world we live in. #fedia
OK maybe I can try this in English too. I'm looking for a #horror#comic or short #graphicNovel that was published in the #eighties or earlier and was a graphical representation of the well know “boyfriend's death” story (Sheriff finds the girl variant) https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-boyfriends-death/
It was published on an Italian comics magazine in the 70s or 80s, but I'm sure it was American. I can't find the issue anymore. Anybody knows it? Boosts welcome for reach.
