‘Toby?’ ‘I dialled everything in correctly before you blame me.’ ‘Well it doesn’t look like 1860 to me.’ While started stomping around the room, poking at things in annoyance. Tobias gave a huff and looked down at the chronometer. Everything was perfect. ‘It says we are exactly where we are supposed to be.’ ‘I’m more … Continue reading Cracks – A Tempus Rock short

Outrun – a midweek flash fiction story
I couldn't see. It took a long time for me to be able to make out shapes at all. Wherever I had ended up this time obviously had a star giving off light with some extreme wavelengths. I managed to pull out some night vision goggles from my pack and slip them over my eyes. … Continue reading Outrun – a midweek flash fiction story
Digging – a MidWeek Flash story
Well damn. It’s bad enough having to pick apart the inside of the coffin. The splinters under my nails were irritating to say the least but it was only compounded by the soil. I cannot in all honesty recommend trying to dig your way up, with bare hands. Gravity, in this situation, is not your … Continue reading Digging – a MidWeek Flash story
Avalon and Albion
For those who follow me on Twitter, you may already know about a project I've been working on with Cloaked Press. If not, I'm about to tell you, but bear with me a moment first. Considering not too many years ago, I thought writing short stories was impossible, I have amazed no-one more than myself … Continue reading Avalon and Albion
On the sand – a flash fiction challenge
We stood on the beach, staring helplessly. Murmured questions rose up and rippled through the crowd in time with the tides. I gazed at the water, glistening blue in the sunshine. Would the tide continue to ebb and flow now the moon lay on the sand? Or was it just reaching out, grasping for its … Continue reading On the sand – a flash fiction challenge
Hey Mr DJ – a flash fiction tale
I saw him staring down at my world. I shouldn’t have been able to see him. He shouldn’t have been there watching. I knew he appeared differently to everyone in a world; it was like a chameleon mechanism. Here I could see a giant figure looming over, a metallic face lit up with strobe lights. … Continue reading Hey Mr DJ – a flash fiction tale
Fever – a flash fiction story
I watched hopelessly as he writhed on the bed, muscles spasming in agony. He’d been steadily getting worse all evening and I had no idea what to do or who to call. Coming up to the cabin was supposed to keep us safe and out of the way while the others figured out the whole … Continue reading Fever – a flash fiction story
Warrior within – a prompt flash fiction
She sat on the edge of the chair, her limbs draw tightly in as if to make herself occupy the smallest possible space. Around her the others moved and talked. She nodded at opportune moments and gave half smiles. Occasionally her lips parted to say something but the moment passed and her silence remained. When … Continue reading Warrior within – a prompt flash fiction
Hidden in black and white (a flash fiction)
She trailed behind the others as they walked. No longer did they try and coax words out of her, encourage her to join in with the group. They had long since given up getting any kind of interaction. They had decided something had happened to make her this way, that was why she was alone … Continue reading Hidden in black and white (a flash fiction)
Release the Genie- Lockhouse Escape
Trashhand I love escape rooms. A holiday isn't complete unless I've been locked in a room for sixty minutes while I yell for more clues. I've done various themes: spies, averting nuclear missiles, serial killers, robbing a bank amongst others. It's been a while since I've been in one. Certain...global events...shall we say, had stopped … Continue reading Release the Genie- Lockhouse Escape
