Here we are for another short story post. This one is Sci-Fi like the last story post was. Its about 3500 words and I don’t think there’s much else to say, so here we go. “Hey Joe, wait up!” Francis calls as he tries to run to catch up to his friend, Joe. It’s beenContinue reading “Overwrite”

Stare
Stare into the eyes as black as the night skiesHope for relief when you just can’t speakA catch in your throat that won’t be beatIs this the face that you wear this week? Are the reflections showing your failures?Or will you look at the positive behaviours?Just as the madness comes rolling inYou know that thisContinue reading “Stare”
New Dawn
Winds howl and rain buffetsHold on tight or you’ll be nothingRipped from the open armsSent across this lifeless landTaken from all that you knowThe storm of heresy does growAnother notch into the beltWithout remorse or consent Biting cold and burning iceWill you surrender tonight?As you fight to surviveWar is hell and so you striveTo beContinue reading “New Dawn”
Tick
Decided to add another post just to complete the week. This won’t be a regular thing, but it may happen every now and then. The clock hand is moving againWhen will you stop this thing?Starting to get the feelingThat you’re just going to be lyingAnother line to save your skinWhat a sad way of existingDiggingContinue reading “Tick”
Charcoal
Hey everyone! This is a little piece I wrote (around 700 words) that involves an interaction between several people at the end of the world. Not much more to say past that, so see what you think!

Supply
Don’t usually post on a Tuesday or say anything before a poem post, but I wrote this and thought seeing as it is pretty apt at the moment I would. Looking out from a window on highFeeling the need to shout and cryWhat has happened to the people?All of them seem so unequalStripping out whatContinue reading “Supply”

Shark
You see the blood in the waterI see the black of your eyesYou aim straight for a targetI won’t watch as you take your prize You linger in the darkI see your outline, starkYou feed off the confusedI can’t take the violence that follows You smell fear in the airI hope you’re not theirYou comeContinue reading “Shark”
Conflict
OK, now this is the first actual short story I’ll be posting. The previous five Wednesday’s posts have all been short snippets, where as this is a fully written piece. Not going to spoil any details about the plot (otherwise what is the point in reading it), but let’s just say there is a twistContinue reading “Conflict”
Passage
What is fear?What is love?Do you see the world above?Or are you stuck down belowWill you hope?Or don’t you knowAs the leaves fallAs the rains comeWill you just succumb?Pray for demonsPray for foolsPray that you never losePonder out your final daysBeg for time to go onRide the tideRide the wavesSettle for what you craveFor onceContinue reading “Passage”
