Are you familiar with
https://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Science_Fiction_%28Bookshelf%29

A decent number of “Astounding Storie of Super Science” issues from circa 1930 can be found there. Some good but forgotten authors there.

Ah ha!

More evidence supporting my hypothesis that space aliens seeded our planet with many species of hominids, for the purposes of entertainment.

An intergalactic pay per view audience watching a cage match that lasts eons.

Wonder what our ratings are. Are some of the alien abductions actually for trans-galactic red carpet events?

It is morning but the sky has darkened again.

There was a tap, tap, tap of light rain when I checked to make sure the lighthouse was still working.

Now there is a tap, tap, tap of rain hitting the thin side of the house as there is heavier rain hitting the tin roof of my shack. The occasionally thunder, which I can feel, makes the dog whimper under the table.

I move the paper I am writing on from the left side to the right side of the table, because I know where the roof will leak if the rain keeps up.

I would really like to go home. Sure the generator hasn’t yet given out and the water purifier is not broken, but the view outside, when its clear, has lost all its charm.

I mean, I still like Saturn but I don’t want to live on Titan any more and the methane rains now make me cringe.
