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”

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”
New Human
Story time is here again. This week I’ve got a short story (roughly 13800 words) that is set after the apocalypse and involves a group of augmented humans who are revered as Gods by what is left of humanity. Enjoy! The four Olympians, technologically enhanced and augmented humans, stand within one of the vast spacesContinue reading “New Human”
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”
Blood Halls
Oh look its Wednesday again, so that mean’s short story time! This is a fantasy piece around 4300 words in length and involves two mortals and a witch. That’s about all I’m going to say. So let’s go! “Shit! This is such a bad idea.” Peter says as he follows his friend Vance down theContinue reading “Blood Halls”
Vengeance
It’s Wednesday, so that means a new short story. This time I’ve got a fantasy story for you (Its about 3700 words long). Its set as part of a battle, and that’s all I’m going to say. So let’s get into it! The two armies stand on opposite sides of an open area of grassyContinue reading “Vengeance”
The Event
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”
