As part of VACATION HELL over at Terribleminds, I submitted a little horror story called “Three Stars”. Now that it’s posted there, I can post it here as well. Enjoy! She walked through the halls with his picture in her hand. She stopped the hotel’s staff and other guests alike. She struggled to keep her… Continue reading Three Stars

I Wanna Do Laser
Courtesy Terribleminds, make with the clicky-clicky I was going to put this off until tomorrow. I was thinking of putting up my entry to Chuck’s contest as late as possible. But I can’t. I’m way too inspired, way too charged, to hold onto this that long. He set the word limit at 1000, so I… Continue reading I Wanna Do Laser
Flash Fiction: The Hunter
It’s been a busy weekend, and I have a lot to write about, but it’s going to take some time to recover and process. So while I do that, here’s a bit of flash fiction that came out of this weekend. It’s my first honest attempt at fiction this short. So, as I will say… Continue reading Flash Fiction: The Hunter
Canned Goods: Vampire Novel Contest Thingie
Okay, in all honesty, I have no idea when the novel contest was or why I felt inclined to enter it. Or if I even did enter it. The ol’ cracker barrel ain’t what it used to be, as Uncle Karl might say. Regardless, I saw this as I was re-opening my files for the… Continue reading Canned Goods: Vampire Novel Contest Thingie
If I Wrote For Lucas: Episode 3
Concluding one of the possible ways the story arc of those Star Wars prequels could have gone if I’d written them. Episode 1 is here, and Episode 2 is here. Remember, I don’t own anything created by Lucas and I’m not looking to profit from any of this, but it is my work and if… Continue reading If I Wrote For Lucas: Episode 3
If I Wrote For Lucas: Episode 2
Continuing the sort of plots, characters and themes I’d have pursued if it had fallen to me to write the Star Wars prequels. Episode 1 is right here. This one ended up a bit longer than I thought it would. I could probably work C-3P0 and R2-D2 in here somewhere, but I’d rather focus on… Continue reading If I Wrote For Lucas: Episode 2
If I Wrote For Lucas: Episode 1
So I think a good way to spend at least part of this holiday weekend is to put down some of the thoughts I’ve had about what could’ve been done with the Star Wars prequels. Utterly pointless, but then again, so are the prequels as they stand now. It goes without saying that I don’t… Continue reading If I Wrote For Lucas: Episode 1
Canned Goods: Circle of Brimstone
Wow. Been a while since I’ve done one of these. I’m up to my eyeballs in code and have some deadlines breathing down my neck, so have the first half of an attempt I made at a gothic supernatural horror short. Enjoy. [spoiler effect=”phase”] The hinges of the door moaned like the support beams of… Continue reading Canned Goods: Circle of Brimstone
For Doctor Mercury: Like Out Of Clockwork
His practiced fingers carefully lay one gear beside the other. This painstaking work has taken years. Designs, prototypes, failures, so many have come before. And now, he’s so close. Experienced eyes peer through multiple lenses on specialized spectacles to ensure every wire, sprocket and connection are exactly where they need to be. Within its bright… Continue reading For Doctor Mercury: Like Out Of Clockwork
Star Trek: Farraday 1.4a
Previously… Catapulted to the edge of known space by an incident in the Mutara Nebula, the USS Farraday is now under the command of the ship’s untested former first officer, Anthony Lennox. With limited supplies and uncertainty among the crew, Lennox has made it his first priority to find a planet that can provide enough… Continue reading Star Trek: Farraday 1.4a
