Appetite

Through outright denial Mark managed to ignore the unmistakable smell of honey glazed gammon on his wife as she entered the door that evening. He even looked straight past the guilty crumbs that tried to drop unnoticed to the floor when he took her coat. The affected calm, loving set of Janet’s face belied the fear of discovery that had burrowed into her eyes; they darted about, avoiding his wherever they could. Mark looked away, swallowed. Still he did not acknowledge the suspicion his subconscious had already considered and passed as truth. He mumbled about wine and escaped to the kitchen. Janet composed herself and whispered silentl

Fears Dense and Darkness Shrouding - Part One

"The door's locked." "No shit. An empty house at night, locked? How strange." "Don't get pissy. It's been a long night for me too." "Yes, and whose fault was that, dolt?" "Shut up. Both of you. It'll be miles before we find another house so we'll have to make do. Get the crowbar." A violent grating sound thrust through the silence like a shout waking the sleeper. The door resisted the crowbar for only a brief moment before it surrendered on its rusty hinges. The sterile blue glow of an electric lantern stretched a long, probing beam into the hall to illuminate sheet-covered furniture beset by cobwebs and dust. Into the retreating darknes

Life Abuse

Life Abuse In a cramped and colourless room he stares blankly at the wall opposite, bare but for a patch of mildew staining the once white paint. He's been sitting for just over an hour now and his eyes haven't left that spot. The grey of his surroundings has become him, overwhelmed him. He'd hoped to bring back just a splash of colour in place of the monochrome lens he now saw the world through. Perched on a chair at the opposite side of the room, she wonders what he sees. Sometimes in these stupors he visited heaven, sometimes hell. If she had to guess tonight, it was purgatory. Her hands lay clasped in her lap, lacking the energy nee

The Last Hanging

The Last Hanging They said mine was to be the last hanging. In future the village would take a more civilised approach to the law: imprisonment, exile, hard labour, that kind of thing. Because crushing rocks is of course, just penance for murder and theft. How lovely. Really, I'm thrilled. How could I not be? The next poor bastard that ends up this leaking cell can look through the barred windows and see a future, with drink and sex and bacon. Not me of course, the view I get from the window is dark, gloomy- utterly devoid of bacon. Please, it's not like I'd want that anyway. I mean, I'm too busy. Look at my schedule for the day: shit in a

My Bio

I write. That's basically all you need to know. I'm not trying to be mysterious, it's just that my morris dancing prowess isn't really relevant here.
At the moment I don't have a whole lot uploaded.
Life Abuse is artistic prose. It's pretty short and I'd be most grateful if you could give it a read.
The Last Hanging is a character driven humoury thing about a man going to his execution.
Odalisque is a short story with a medieval-eastern-esque setting. About intrigue and whatnot.
Fears is a two part horror story about thieves who take shelter in a long deserted house.
If you don't want to read anything, well, get off my lawn before I go find the shotgun.

Favourite Visual Artist

Amystarship - a deviant. Look her up and bathe in the gloriosity. And that's not just because I don't know many other artists. Okay, that's part of the reason, but she's still awesome.

Favourite Bands / Musical Artists

Me. Pavarotti was my bitch.

Favourite Games

Life. Life's a game. Profound huh?
