The voice in your head
I have discovered recently, that not everyone sees their thoughts in their head. I know that sounds like an odd opening but stay with me. When I read a book, I see it, the pictures are there in my head. I don't really know how else to describe it because I can't really comprehend the … Continue reading The voice in your head
Cracks – A Tempus Rock short
‘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.

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.
