Death Clock – New Microfiction

Posted on June 3, 2018 By Jackson Allen

Death Clock - New Microfiction

Happy Sunday – here is some new microfiction to get you started on your week. I hope you enjoy it, I ended up typing the whole thing out on my mobile phone while I waited for a new writing computer to arrive.

The writing prompt was fairly complex, but the concept is simple. It’s based on that old Internet meme: ‘If you ask him, he can tell you how long you have left to live, but only because he shoots everyone who asks him with a revolver as a joke.’ I hope you enjoy …

About Me


My name is Jackson Allen. My intention is to be a self-sufficient science fiction author. I spend my time actively writing, querying, submitting neo-Golden Age scifi and I analyze future trends, asking: "how can new tech and innovation help kids feel excited about the future?" Lots of self-published shorts - actively querying for a formal, mainstream publication house.
