Stories

This is a collection of very short stories, that I had written over thirty years ago, when I first started to write, and they are recollections of real events that took place on the farm where I grew up in Western Australia…

Only four chapters for now, unless I recall a few other events in the mean time...

Lance has had a crush on Coran for months now, but after receiving news from home he has to make a decision one way or another to let the Altean know how he truly feels.

Prompt responses for 2017.

All these shorts are unedited, and if they refer to current characters of mine I will include a link to the relevant story.

This is a short two chapter story of Huon, with his view of everything after he passes away.

Autobiographical in nature, some chapters told through an attempt at a chiasmus. My thoughts and feelings on life, based upon my own experience.

Reading chapters in order is unnecessary.

As part of a college assignment, I was required to write a continuing story of one of my favourite stories...

A drive in the rain, a pick-up at a place that shouldn't be

A short story about best friends.

The war with the demons in the Underrealm can exhaust even the strongest soldier. As the war drags on, how can one commander face his duty when each and every battle threatens his heart and soul?

One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four for a boy.

Five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told.

I am sure many of you, like me, learned this children's nursery rhyme about magpies. According to an old superstition, the number of magpies seen predicts whether you will have good or bad luck. Something I came across subsequently, was the existence of many variations on this rhyme, some more sinister than the children’s version.

One of those is incorporated into this short story about boyhood abuse.
