Of Tree Life

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022

The trees whispered to each other, the words seemed to form in the breeze around their leaves. They could see the prey – the hunters and they craved their blood and bloods to build up their hungry stumps. The forest would show these people what it meant to maim the woods, a low range creaking […]

The Pool

Wednesday, March 16th, 2022

The pool looked lovely, lilly pads bobbed on the surface with the greens of the tall thick mallow stalks and various bog grasses around it reflected in its dark ripples, the water here seemed like it was clear and pure but the light just reflected off as if it was somehow volcanic glass in motion, […]

The Dark Lurked

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019

The Dark lurked, as always it watched, it was cold, it had been that way since the beginning, the warmth had all left it, spinning out into the new youngness that it feared. The Dark had stayed, it had drawn in on itself to preserve what warmth it could. The Dark saw her, she had […]

Which Way is North?

Monday, October 14th, 2019

Amy stood in the bitter ley of the granite column listening through the muffling fur of her hood, the executioners had been hard at work and the old rituals of blood sacrifice had seen a boom. This time to the new god of 2000 years or so of British culture – the site they were […]

Green Eyes

Monday, October 7th, 2019

Joanne’s eyes were green, not just the iris but the pupils and the eyeball as well. Different shades of green but all glowing faintly with their own light. Normally any child like her would have been have been killed but now there were enlightened and people understood it was nothing but an anomaly, a defect […]

Spaceship Earth

Sunday, September 29th, 2019

It looked like a frozen white marble, rolling through an endless star studded sky, most of humanity dwelt low below the crust, it was warm there and they had all the energy they needed. But Anna had been sent to the Dome complex, it had been freshly repaired from a meteorite shower, once an atmosphere […]

Cluster Fabric

Tuesday, September 24th, 2019

It was hard to get one galaxy to spiral around upon itself with out reaching arms that had to so delicately be placed next too, entwined but hardly touching it’s neighbouring galaxy, a mirror image to help the fit be exact. The symmetry never quiet worked and so the solution was to work with that […]

The Bone Layer

Tuesday, September 10th, 2019

It doesn’t really matter where you dig sooner or later you hit the bone layer, sometimes there isn’t bones as such but great swaths of land with thick ash, analysis shows that it too is basically bone. Sometimes stones that appear carved, jut out like teeth between the bones. It was these stones that really […]

Atlantis

Tuesday, September 3rd, 2019

Deep within the layers of rock that make up the Earth’s crust a treasure and horror of antiquity lies, the broken corpse of a naval super power, an island nation, dashed by the very waters of the ocean for it’s decadence and ambition had arose. It sleeps mindful of the world above, within it’s heart […]

The Rent

Saturday, August 24th, 2019

The Rent The spire rose high into the cloudless sky. This was a dagger puncturing the vault of the heavens and sometimes on stormy nights you could see the life blood of the universe bleed in, trickling both down and up the spire. This was the gateway but as of no-one knew – no-one saw […]
