Soothing even the common beastThe one that bares its teethReady for its strikeEviscerate whats rightBefore the howl of doomStreaking toward the full moonNot a cloud in the skyThis is the beasts clarion cryThen comes the attackSwift and filled with blackFangs of crooked greyNo longer white you’d sayWhile the eyes do glowAn emerald light of showClappingContinue reading “…Of The Land”

Trollied
Line and spaceLet’s bring the chaseWhat’s the point if we don’t have a case?

Ingress
Hi! I’ve got a shorter story for you this week at a little over 10,000 words. Overall, doing quite well at keeping these on the shorter side recently. Pleased about that because it means I can write more. Not that you’ll know any different as stories still only get posted once a week. Anyway, thisContinue reading “Ingress”

Storm The Summit
Story time is back again. This one I’d call a thriller. It has light Sci-Fi elements but they in no way form a large part of this tale (its about 15,000 words long). Past that I’ll let you know that this is a small groups efforts to stop one man from wielding more power thanContinue reading “Storm The Summit”
Out The Door
You can scale mountains and cut down trees,But as you skipped out you’re just a diseaseDon’t warrant a single solitary thought,Because all that you did was just abortRun out the door when you were needed most,What kind of person doesn’t see that’s grossOr were you too busy chasing other tail,To realise that you’d been handedContinue reading “Out The Door”
