Blink

September 16, 2018September 15, 2018

A fun little piece based on a few prompt words: Time Travel, Cat, and Journey.

I’ve been trying to write more short fiction (and trying to submit a little bit more). The big projects and sweeping landscapes are fun, but I’m trying to be a little more creatively flexible.

At any rate, enjoy!

Nasty Nattie and The Nightmare Man

August 19, 2018August 19, 2018

This one was one that I wrote a pretty long time ago, but wanted to revisit. Enem is actually based on a nightmare antagonist I had a while ago. I wanted to change his story and see if I could make him more sympathetic (or at least more interesting). Enjoy!

More Irksome Than Not

July 29, 2018July 28, 2018

Sorry for the wait! Things got a little busy between work and my parents coming to visit! It’s been a bit wild, but we’re getting back to a regular schedule.

This is a continuation of the story “Irksome”, originally published in October 2017.  I like Leaky a lot and want to put more into her story…as soon as I figure out what it is. Enjoy!

Memories

This month’s fiction piece is a follow up to The Remembrance from a while ago. Feel free to read through it again before reading the follow-up story below!

We last left Cam and the crew as they left their memorial service on a desolate planet. But things change quickly in space!

In Space, No One Can Hear You Howl

April 22, 2018April 20, 2018

This idea came about when I woke up with a half-remembered dream. Probably no big surprises with the title, but I enjoyed writing it!

Irksome

October 22, 2017October 20, 2017

Enjoy a new piece of fiction for October! Not a horror story, but you’ve probably read enough of those so far.  This piece comes from a little while back, but it could be more someday. I like the characters. What do you think?

A new piece of fiction today! Was feeling a little post-apocalypse/Space Drama this last month. Enjoy!

Don’t Leave

August 20, 2017April 6, 2026

It’s time for some new fiction! This piece, called Don’t Leave, is more of a character sketch. I might do more with it later, but I wanted to post this because I like a lot of aspects of it. Psychic abilities and things like mind reading have always been interesting for me, so I wanted to try writing about it.
