Happy New Year, everyone! The Blue Route staff is on break right now, but we wanted to take a moment to recognize National Science Fiction Day, which is today. The genre, as many of you know, has many standout authors, such as Ray Bradbury, Octavia Butler, Isaac Asimov, and Nnedi Okorafor. These and other writers have penned many fascinating novels and short stories.

There are some writers, though, who paint on a much smaller canvas–the canvas of flash fiction. If you’d like to celebrate Science Fiction Day, but you don’t have the time to crack open a novel or collection of stories, check out the strange, super-short piece linked below. You won’t be disappointed, but you may never look at yogurt the same way again.
