The Flow of Time
'Time is all relative,' he mumbled as he scribbled Words drifted, colliding on the board Meeting numbers in explosions of genius Or was it madness now? He wasn't sure. 'The day drags endlessly while you idle The work clock ticks ever slower Do you not feel the lengthening of a second?' His apprentice stared in … Continue reading The Flow of Time
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.

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)
Tramlines – a prompt flash fiction story
It took Eva a few seconds to notice Lyle was no longer by her side. She should have noticed when she stopped hearing his disapproving noises.

She marched back … Continue reading Tramlines – a prompt flash fiction story
