SHORT STORIES
Below you'll find a selection of short stories on all kinds of topics. Many were writing projects produced as part of my Masters in Creative Writing - which explains the unconventional nature of some of the stories. Others are stories I wrote on a whim, or as a recreational side project for something.
They're obviously less polished than a published novel - many were pushed out in a very short window. But if you're looking for something more comprehensively edited, why not jump over and check out "Blood & Snow"?
Otherwise, have a browse through what's here and feel free to shoot me any questions about a particular story, and where it came from.
Gossip
A story for my writing course. The only brief was that it had to be about Gossip.
Sheol
A man finds himself wandering in death's house, not quite sure how
he got there.
Character
The most controversial piece I've written. Which is odd, as the only thing being defamed is food.
Better Than Real
..or "How humanity put itself
out of a job".
Objection
Why do they always leave it till
knock-off time to start shooting?
Schoolyard Justice
Justice seems to be a user-defined concept nowadays. (Has also been made into a local independent film.)
Plea
Partly inspired by the Chapelle
Corby story.
The Sub-Creator
A writer's perspective
on playing God.
