Stories

A collection of prompts and other shorter stories.

This is where I stash my short stories responses to writing prompts. Hope you enjoy. If you like stuff like The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits or Night Gallery you will probably feel right at home.

How many words do you need to tell a story? Here are my attempts at micro-fiction - a series of unrelated mini tales, all under 50 words in length.

This is a story based on Friday's prompts and Billy Joel's song 'Piano Man'. There will be no rummaging around in past prompt themes. Every time something triggers the plot bunnies to jump, I'll write a new chapter. Therefore, there might be weeks in between chapters, where I won’t add anything new. I plan to alternate between Martin’s and Roman’s POV. There is no real plan, or direction where this will go, I'm open to ideas and suggestions.

This is where I will drop all my prompt responses and any short scenes/stories that push their way into my mind.

Please note: All bits and pieces in this collection are unedited. I will, of course, proofread to the best of my abilities, and add any changes people send me. But, they are just things that come into my mind and jump onto the page.

Neil and Ralph are brothers who are facing major changes in their lives. One has suddenly become a father and the other is facing the fact he is gay. What these changes will mean is yet to be seen.
