It began on a dark and stormy night... okay, it didn't. I can't remember what the weather was like but I do remember getting a message about a project called Meteor Fall and asking whether I would be interested in it. Well, as it was a Cloaked Press project, the answer was 99% likely to … Continue reading Meteor Fall- An Anthology of The Collective

Temporal anomaly
Jason hated taking Tobias to the future. Well future for Tobias anyway. Going to visit things that you knew through historical study was fine. You had a point of reference, you knew what was going on. But when you go forward… ‘But While, this could be a temporal malfunction. The state of it, it seems … Continue reading Temporal anomaly
Time and tales (a prompt short story)
She sighs and sits on the stool, looking out of the window as the sun dips lower in the sky. Beams burst through the glass and bathe her in glowing patches. For a moment it seems as if she has forgotten but then her tired voice rings out. “So you’ve come for a story too … Continue reading Time and tales (a prompt short story)
Airbus Acquisitions – a prompt short story
A stroll around the deck lead me to the forward section of the airbus. We’d been on the Cumulo for three weeks and we were now into the last six days of sailing. It was nearly time.

"Are you telling me it just turned up overnight?" They peered over as far as they could but the angle made it hard to see more. Loose sand and pebbles shifted under Mia's foot and skittered towards the edge of the gaping hole. She watched in awe as they tumbled over the edge. "When I … Continue reading Tunnels – a flash fiction story

The knock on the door made me freeze. The bar had closed up over an hour ago even though Reiner hadn’t kicked me out yet. The large man behind the door cast his gaze in my direction, an eyebrow raised enquiringly. “Don’t look at me, I’m not expecting anyone.” I shrugged and went back to … Continue reading What goes around- A flash fiction
Fictional Failures
“You spend all your time up here staring at that page.” “I’m writing. That’s part of it.” I placed the pen back on the table forcibly and looked up at him, trying to make my expression as pointed as possible. “Don’t you have to put the pen on the paper?” His arms were folded over … Continue reading Fictional Failures
Reflections (A Short Story)
They said I had an over-active imagination, let my brain run wild with the stories in my head. My grandparents thought I’d had enough of books, filling my head with stories, time to let me go out in the real world. They didn’t understand that’s where it all came from. I sat by the stream … Continue reading Reflections (A Short Story)
When We Believe
They told stories by the bedside and legends around the fire. A thousand eyes lit up with awe and wonder The possibilities danced in the air, unbound by imagination In the sun, they ran and charged, fighting evil and doing good All in our name as they took on the mantle They ran to the … Continue reading When We Believe
