Invert

Stop with the hateTime to party and celebrateBut your heart of iceStill dripping maliceWhat is the problem?Leaving you solemnTime is a clockTicking back to the dotA point called zeroNo reason to be the anti-heroJust digging gravesCollecting slavesBuilding on the remainsSuch a shameSo just begin a pauseEnd the fabrication of causeLook for a highwayMake it yourContinue reading “Invert”

Conker

Growing high above the groundFrom where I can look aroundWhile my brothers continue to growBefore we drop down belowAs the wind rustles leavesWe will soon be cast freeLeft to fall to the floorWhere we hope to be foundClaimed by a happy soulInstead of rotting into a holeBut for the moment we gently swayAs the breezeContinue reading “Conker”

From The Shadows

The story this week is different. It’s not Sci-Fi but is set in the very near future. I really don’t want to say much more because if I do I might ruin the surprise.

Changing Faces

Getting close to the end of March. This week I have what is in some ways a story very typical of me, yet at the same time different. The overall story is definitely Sci-Fi (and roughly 13,900 words), however the opening half really doesn’t make it seem that way. In fact, there are no hintsContinue reading “Changing Faces”
