Line them upKnock em backThis is the new form of attack Glass in handSmile so wideTime to make the worlds collide Prepare yourself…While the bass goes boomTonight is the rising of the full moon Weeks been longThe end will be shortDon’t want to be left with nought Eight are downThree to goThe room is spinningContinue reading “Shots”

Curiosity
Sidle up to the rusted gateDaring to play with fateOne false move might be the endBut you’ll only know that once its pennedSo try your hand and beg for mercyOtherwise you might grow cerciWhat a prize that you don’t wantThe kind that will strip you of being confident Clamber over the razor spikesTruth is theyContinue reading “Curiosity”
Rot Of The Rise
Hi! This week I’ve got a post-apocalyptic story (about 14,200 words long). I don’t feel comfortable calling it Sci-Fi as the technology (bar two examples which I’m not mentioning because I don’t want to give anything away) is entirely at the level of what we have now. Not got anything else to say about theContinue reading “Rot Of The Rise”

From The Shadows
The story this week is different. It’s not Sci-Fi but is set in the very near future. I really don’t want to say much more because if I do I might ruin the surprise. It’s a shorter story again at about 10,700 words. I had intended to write something else I’d been working on butContinue reading “From The Shadows”
Contradiction
