A story with a resemblance to the Famous Five.

This is the story of Ronnie Locke and how he came to give me a speeding ticket for something I mentioned to him ten years after it happened.

MONSTERS, MYTHICAL CREATURES, ANIMALS and POKER GENIUSES

Out of the army for good due to injury in the closing stages of the first world war, Sol decides that he will paint his sister's portrait.

I thought I better start writing after a long absence. The part of the brain which growled and went to sleep in one corner of my brain, just woke up and am trying to feed it. This is based on a joke from Soman, my cousin who used to make me sleep by telling me bed time stories when I was very young. That now puts him in the 'ancient' category. Sorry, bro! (He is a member here). This is a new one from him told to me when I visited him in Kerala, India, last year.

A very short play about cats and dogs.

a snippet of French life ... The heavy coffin tilted as the burly men on one side jostled each other. The chap in the hole shouted a warning, but it was too late. One end of the coffin slipped and fell back in the hole with a loud cracking sound.

Ah, when that pile of bills and junk mail arrives on your mat, don't you just wish it'd be something you REALLY wanted?

This is an interlude in a book called Goddess designed as a link to another series of parallel world stories called MUTE. Goddess is the fourth book in a series of nine called the Nexus which is an area in an alternative near-future Wales with five pentagrams of ancient stones in the post-idustrial landscale that form the Nexus, a point about which the various parallel worlds of this particular Creation rotate. Amy Lewis is one of a gifted family who can move between worlds and spaces but here, she has yet to master her power and ends up in the arid world of the Mutes which is a climatic disaster-zone. It's a link but also a taster for MUTE which i hope to finish in 2012....

Working in a video store can be just as boring as working anywhere else...especially when you've been through the adult section three times already!

Do not turn over your question paper until it is brown on one side, then proceed carefully using a spatula or tongs.

Some of you may remember my short play, Anger Management for Dogs - in which Rex and Fido discussed their anger management problems. This is a new play featuring the same characters - and the ultimate taboo in the canine world.

In the late 1500s Lincolnshire experienced a very high tide that broke the Banks of the River Witham and drowned many people - it all happened in a few hours. A famous poem was written about the incident where a husband and his mother were stranded on there farm house roof. The husband's wife and two children were drowned in that flash flood tide. In the middle of the night fate brought the bodies of the mans family back to the farm before they were swept out to sea forever. The story I am writing is about life cruelty and murder in the time of Henry IIIV and just after his death. How the husband is set on revenge for one death and is unknowingly responsible for the loss of his family. Revenge reaping a bitter harvest.

In the USA, executions were considered a regular part of prison life back in the 1950's. Every now and then, however, an execution could turn out to be anything but routine.
