The line clicked.
Silence—no music, no static. Just breathing. Slow. Measured.
“Hello?”
A pause. The breathing didn’t stop.
“Thank you for continuing to hold.”
The voice wasn’t automated anymore. It had weight now. Presence.
“You’ve reached Tier One Awareness. Most disconnect before this.”
“I didn’t dial anything.”
A soft hum.
“No,” it said. “You were dialed.”

David stared at the blank page as if it had betrayed him.
"Fuck", he said, softer now, as if sound might disturb whatever fragile impulse had yet to come.
The pen hovered. Nothing. No thoughts. No words.
Then something moved.
At first, he thought it was his hand twitching from too much caffeine. But no. The pen touched the paper and began writing on its own.
David froze.

I have been looking for places on the Fediverse where people publish (their own) fiction.
I am especially interested in Sci-Fi fiction, but....
Here is what I have discovered so far:
• #MicroFiction (hash-tag)
• @microfiction (tags.pub)
• #TootFic (hash-tag)
• @tootfic (tags.pub)
• #ContinueTheStory (hash-tag)
• @continuethestory (tags.pub)
• #ContinueTheSciFiStory (hash-tag)
• @continuethescifistory (tags.pub)
Join the #ContinueTheStory thread.
Step 1: Look at the #ContinueTheStory hash-tag, and find something someone else wrote.
Step 2: Quote-boost someone else's post and write the next paragraph or chapter.
Step 3: Watch the story grow as others quote-boost you!
Don’t forget to include the #ContinueTheStory hash-tag!
(Bonus: follow @continuethestory to get more #ContinueTheStory posts.)

The researcher, a man named Kamran, froze with a half-chewed bite of sourdough in his mouth. He stared at the notification on his phone. The sender field didn't show an internal Slack handle or a Jira ticket; it just read:
