Right, well this one is a little different from the other story posts thus far seeing as this story is neither fantasy nor Sci-Fi. Quite simply its just fiction, set in the modern day, and follows two peoples very different paths after a traumatic event. The story is about 3600 words long, so lets begin!Continue reading “The Event”

Hunted
Tearing chunks just to surviveAs you stare into the glowing eyesTeeth on show and sharp as knivesThe snarled growl just before the cries Plead for help that will not comeLost among the towering fernStepped into a wild old worldAs the barking continues to whirl Injured and caked in mudThe blood makes them salivateSniffing out yourContinue reading “Hunted”
Villain
Carve a hole into the heartAim to build a whole new startAs you take aim and fireMake sure to pray for desireWings of ash and insanityA spear of hatred breeds indecency Slice to ribbons your enemyBring forth the new diseaseWeave into the fabric of painSoon the world will be dead againHalo forged of shattered boneTheContinue reading “Villain”
Overwrite
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”

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! A weathered looking man clad in some simple boots, plain threadbare trousers, a faded navy blue shirt theContinue reading “Charcoal”
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”
Fireworks
Launch them into the skyRocket races up real highThen it detonatesRevealing its coloured flakes A firework with its boomSpectacle as people go wooThen another fliesThis display goes for miles Lighting up the dark nightThe colours seem limitlessHoping it never endsBut everything does descend The sparks soon fizzle outUntil there is nothing leftThen the display isContinue reading “Fireworks”
