Structures begin to falterThe drones won’t stop the tortureProgress slips to failureNo more sense and composureJust empty boxes once called roomsFeeling like barren tombsLights flicker covered in mossWhat was born is now lossNo hand upon the guiding wheelOnly silence can win the fightWhile waters run down and stainMarking out how to complainBut the clouds areContinue reading “What Follows Will Not Go”

Pieces In Play
This week’s story is influenced by Halo. If you know the franchise you’ll probably be able to tell. If not don’t worry it isn’t important other than this is a military sci-fi story. It has a bit of a twist to it too. Not going to spoil it but this is a longer story atContinue reading “Pieces In Play”

First I got to about three thousand words, then I decided I didn’t like where it was going, deleted half of it, rewrote it back toContinue reading “Grass Is Greener”
