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”

Circumnavigate
As promised yesterday here is the story Circumnavigate. Its a long one (a little under 26300 words). I got carried away. I had an outline and I ran with it. Never thought it would end up as long as it did. But here it is, enjoy! It’s been fifty years since the world ended. NoContinue reading “Circumnavigate”
Blurb: Circumnavigate
This is starting to look like its becoming a habit because I’m back again with another blurb. This story will be out tomorrow. This is purely just a teaser of what is to come. The world has been flooded. Sea levels have risen a thousand metres. Billions died in the wake of the rising tidesContinue reading “Blurb: Circumnavigate”
Trade
Wednesday is here, so that means new story. I posted the blurb yesterday, so all I’m going to say is this is a Sci-Fi story and is about 12700 words. There is a knock at the door. Stuart peers through the peephole of his metal front door. On the other side is a dishevelled lookingContinue reading “Trade”
Blurb for next story: Trade
Hey! I know its not Wednesday, but this post is a teaser for what is coming tomorrow. Enjoy! Stuart is a former doctor who runs an illegal mems business on the side to repay a gambling debt. He rips memories out of people who have fallen on hard times and sells them off to theContinue reading “Blurb for next story: Trade”
Hunter
Wednesday! This story is a little different from the last. It’s still Sci-Fi but it has more action. I like how it turned out and it is darker, but still don’t think it hit what I was originally going for. I had hoped to make the main character darker, but I don’t think I quiteContinue reading “Hunter”
Contact
Here we are at Wednesday again. This time we have an even longer story (nearly 11000 words) than the last. This one’s about first contact between humanity and an alien species. Have fun! The arrowhead shaped silver ship sits motionless in the endless black void of space nine hundred miles above the surface of Earth.Continue reading “Contact”
Transgression
Story time is here again! This is a story about sentient synthetics. Its about 7700 words and that’s all I’m going to say. So here we go. The room is square and maybe four metres across with sterile white walls, ceiling and floor. The surfaces are hard and cool but have not been formed byContinue reading “Transgression”
Sands
Wednesday story time is here again. This is another longer story at about 7000 words and it’s also Sci-Fi. Not going to give any details because otherwise it’ll ruin the surprise. So lets just get right into it shall we? Water laps at Oliver’s torso, breaking against his body, sending spray high enough for itContinue reading “Sands”
Swarm
It’s Wednesday, so that means story day! This time it’s a Sci-Fi story, set on an alien world, in the future, involving humans and an alien race. This story will be the longest I’ve posted thus far at around 7100 words. Because of its length I’ve had to put in a number of page breaks.Continue reading “Swarm”
