The light of the waning moon, high up in a cloudless sky, brightened the stone of the castle behind them and for a single night at least, Castle Rosewater of Dawnrose-On-The-Rockes, was a glistening almost white […]

This is an early draft of something I am working on. Contains some strong language. 
The field was ringing. The glittering clash of sword upon sword as the Prince parried, slashed, blocked and jabbed at his foe, […]

My fears were well founded. We fought a heavily armed Zolton ship and… well…
We just managed to Jump away, but as we did, the FTL reactor erupted and the ship rent apart. Each of us is stuck in a different […]

We jumped to the new sector and headed straight for the first store we could. We only wanted some more fuel, but no, Bethness just *had* to go and get herself into a fight.So there we were, enjoying a nice drink […]

Finally reached our fifth sector, we’re in Zolton space we’re pretty sure we wont get anything for nothing here.
Anyway right before we left, we found our route out of the sector blocked and had to help the […]

We were down to our last fuel cannister for the FTL drives when we spotted somewhere to fuel up in this new sector. It was a very close shave, like Gillette close. The old gal gobbled her fish and got all juiced […]

*Sigh* Scott is dead. Seems like space doesn’t want us to keep pets. And once again it was frecking pirates. Seals went and lured us in with a distress beacon, I’m as bad as Nosi *sniffles* of course we’d answer, […]

We picked up a third crew member, a brave young man called Notch (seriously, that is his name) and he told us about these games he’d made, so we decided if he could make games he could probably keep the engines […]

This is dedicated to Ironfruit, who bought me this game, and Bethness, ‘cos Wants. 

It’s been devastating, this whole Frecking place. Things were looking good at first, we frecked up a flipping pirate ship and […]

Dedicated to Ironfruit, who bought me the game, and Bethness, ‘cos wants.

So this is it, we have the infomation, time to flap those flippers and get the freck out of this place. The rebels are after us, we […]

An hour gone by.
Here lies number 30,
All bent metal rent open,
The innards spilt out,
Her back, broken.
She had slipped and slid
Down the road,
Like a broken roller skate,
Painting the street red.

The […]

A swelling tide, black as pitch
roaring and gorging on earth.
Smoke, fear, hungry
as wolves under a moonless night.
Pushing the people out
Of the stop. They must flee.
Pushing them onwards in […]

The smell of flesh bubbling,
Burning, searing, churning.
The couple are yelling, fighting.
The little girl is welling, crying.
The thick smoke is seeking, choking.
The men are fumbling for a break glass […]

8:42 and every passenger funnelled,
Squeezed inside, like trying to put
toothpaste back into the tube.
Some clasp the handles
Hooked in as fish still on the rod.

Around me are faces I’ve seen
so many, many […]

The wait before the day is through.
The riptide rustle of pedestrians resumes,
Packed together, riding the sea to the harbour;

Their trains are due,
And the week’s end is coming.

You can see it set in their faces,
The traces of guilt as they rest
and nest in a cradle of safety,

As they think of their brothers’
sisters, mothers, fathers and lovers.
But they are abroad, and so are the […]

I like to take a seat at Regents Park
Just 40 minutes a day to think amongst
The remnants of a decadent empire.
All order, all green, all beauty, all scene,

There’s a girl playing catch.
There’s the dad […]
