Hi everyone! Here is a little bonus post now that What Remains is out. This is the original opening that I wrote for the story. But I didn’t like it, so went back and changed it quite considerably, I think. The changes were made to make it flow better and simply because I didn’t likeContinue reading “What Remains – Original Opening”

What Remains
Story day! This is shorter than the last (about 18800 words in fact) and is a semi-sequel to Circumnavigate. I say semi because it occurs in the same post-apocalypse and around a similar time frame. Overall however, I think its a very different story. It did change quite a bit from the original outline IContinue reading “What Remains”
Flout
OK, this week there is no blurb post, but there is a bonus scheduled for Thursday. So I thought I’ll put one on Tuesday too. Do as I say not as I doBut who really are you?Liar, cheat, arrogant foolToo busy trying to play it coolSmug smile across your faceYou are an utter disgraceCop-out forContinue reading “Flout”
Cost To Life
When will you admit…That you hate everything more than a little bitWill it be when it all comes tumbling down?Or will you still plead that you know nothing?I have no clue but I know it will be soonYou’re going to erupt like a solar windScorching every single little thingNo care for the cost or theContinue reading “Cost To Life”
Assessing Nature
Have you ever stared at the leaves?Given study to how vines weave?Watched as the grass does grow?Or does it all mean naught to you? With vibrant colours of summers bloomThe taste of pollen continues to swarmSwollen pods of future fertilityTaken great distances across the sky Have you ever wondered how they grow?Or how far downContinue reading “Assessing Nature”
Speechless Pro
Been thinking about posting on Thursday’s when there is a blurb post on the Tuesday of the same week. Not sure yet. Still, here’s a poem! Blood on the streetsHate in the veinsYou stoked the fireNow you feel the flamesTalk all your shitTell all the liesYou are the tyrant that is despisedDon’t try to actContinue reading “Speechless Pro”
Circumnavigate
As promised yesterday here is the story Circumnavigate. Its a long one (a little under 26300 words). I got carried away. I had an outline and I ran with it. Never thought it would end up as long as it did. But here it is, enjoy! It’s been fifty years since the world ended. NoContinue reading “Circumnavigate”
Blurb: Circumnavigate
This is starting to look like its becoming a habit because I’m back again with another blurb. This story will be out tomorrow. This is purely just a teaser of what is to come. The world has been flooded. Sea levels have risen a thousand metres. Billions died in the wake of the rising tidesContinue reading “Blurb: Circumnavigate”
Old Home Movies
Pictures of a memory fadingIts been years of us waitingPassing like ships in the nightWill our paths ever unite?I remember when we were youngThe hours would simply be goneBut now that we are fully grownI always count the time aloneSummers running through the fieldsLife never seemed so realBut now we barely even speakIts like ourContinue reading “Old Home Movies”
A Single Day
The sun rises on another dayTwenty four hours is the realityIt starts off dark and with little lightBefore our star rises up into sightBirds do call at the dawn breakingWith human beings leaping into momentumGetting from their cozy bedsThey prepare for what lies aheadTake a shower and eat some foodBefore they head out onto theContinue reading “A Single Day”
