CICADA Short Stories
Short stories set in the CICADA universe are standalone and can be read in any order, though some may be interconnected. Beware they are also tonally different. The world of CICADA is a mix of bleakness and dark humor. I’d say it’s part of the charm.
Okay, So what actually is CICADA?
CICADA is a cross-dimensional and interdisciplinary organization. Its main goal is the protection of humanity across timelines and alternative realities. The agency employs numerous agents for different assignments. The task may range from time-traveling to assassinate a target, to the research to cure a deadly plague, to fighting a galactical war.
The genres of these short stories may vary. But I’m largely sticking to Sci-fi and Fantasy. To narrow it down, Cyberpunk, Biopunk, Atompunk. All the punks.
