The day has come for the release of Infection! It’s another long one (at 21700 words) and it’s a zombie apocalypse story. Hope you like it! It’s a little over two years since the world ended. Billions died in the wake of an infection that spread like wildfire. The only problem is that the deadContinue reading “Infection”

Blurb: Infection
I’m back with another blurb. This is just a tease for the full story that’ll be posted tomorrow. The world has ended. Billions died in the wake of an infection that spread across the globe. But the infected didn’t stay dead. Which is why they now walk the Earth. Small pockets of humanity are allContinue reading “Blurb: Infection”
Gone Away
You went away so suddenlyLeaving just a hole in meStuck with just memoriesThey never faded awayAs I searched the streetsCombed the hospitals and clinicsEven visited your old favouritesBut each one let me downYou were nowhere to be found Adorning posters on the wallsI swear I could hear your callsTurning round for disappointmentIt was never youContinue reading “Gone Away”
Confined
Why do things have to be so difficult?Artificial barriers of malcontentA hamster wheel we call developmentAided by consumer culture detrimentTrapped within our self-imposed limitConvinced that we should hold our spaceWhile encouraging only a slow paceBut is a rung where we belong?Or should we continue to strive on?Climbing up the endless cliffIgnoring whether we’re part ofContinue reading “Confined”
What Remains – Original Opening
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”
