365 tomorrows

365 tomorrows is a project by a group writers to publish a new science fiction short story every day for one year- it began on August 1st 2005. They've put up some really neat stories.

Here's an excerpt from the story for September 1st, Time To Remember:

Don’t wake up yet, Mischa. Please, please don’t wake up.

At nineteen, Christopher Malloy was the youngest person on Io to receive his degree in neuronanotechnology. It was quite an accomplishment, according to his parents and teachers and friends, but at that moment, on the sunken platform of the medical arena, Chris felt as small as the machines he worked with. Seven professors, nine technicians, two medical journalists, and one blinding halogen light glared from the space overhead, waiting for him to make a move.
