Hi! This week I’ve got a post-apocalyptic story (about 14,200 words long). I don’t feel comfortable calling it Sci-Fi as the technology (bar two examples which I’m not mentioning because I don’t want to give anything away) is entirely at the level of what we have now. Not got anything else to say about theContinue reading “Rot Of The Rise”

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. It’s a shorter story again at about 10,700 words. I had intended to write something else I’d been working on butContinue reading “From The Shadows”
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”
Creeping Death
I’m sorry everyone, but I failed to keep this story as short as the others recently. So it’s a longer one (roughly 15,700 words). Not going to say much about it other than they have a really rough time, the characters I mean, in this Sci-Fi story. So without further delay here is Creeping Death.Continue reading “Creeping Death”
Issues In A Vacuum
Right! I’m getting straight to my point this week and that is, this is not the story I was intending to write. Not at all. This wasn’t even a planned story. I sat down with a completely different idea in mind, but when I started writing this is the story that came out. Not complaining,Continue reading “Issues In A Vacuum”
Monster’s In Play
Hi! Story day has come round again and this week I have a story that changed quite a bit from initial idea to final piece. Originally it was going to have another section to it. However, I decided I didn’t like or see the need for that section, so I did away with it andContinue reading “Monster’s In Play”
Sole Remnants
Alright. This week it’s another Sci-Fi story. Again, I’ve managed to keep this one on the shorter end (roughly 10,500 words). This one is a little different as there is no violence. It’s definitely more about the journey. Even had an idea for a follow up. Not going to say anymore as I don’t wantContinue reading “Sole Remnants”
Ice In The Veins
Hi! Weekly post story time has come around again. This week it’s a Sci-Fi story set in space involving a man who doesn’t like the idea of being put into a Cryo pod for the duration of their voyage. It’s on the shorter side (for me) at roughly 10,700 words. Hope to keep going withContinue reading “Ice In The Veins”
Those That Remain
Weekly story day is here again and with it is a short (for me anyway at around 10,500 words) tale set in the post-apocalypse. Not committing to anything but might do more like this. Perhaps even make it a series (if and when I get suitable ideas) that are set in the same world. MaybeContinue reading “Those That Remain”
Second Class Humans
Wow we’re already in February. Plus it’s a Wednesday, so that means story time. This week I’ve got a Sci-Fi story centred around how people are treated differently because of where they are born and from. Not saying anymore about the story than that as I don’t want to give too much away. Only otherContinue reading “Second Class Humans”
