“Concur, a word that means to agree with or equal,” Andrew announces proudly as he stands spiffingly up, his head wobbling about as if he was a bobble headed statue and a smile that draws itself across his lips like a bolt of lightning. “And what do you concur with, cunt?” William snarls as he […]
“Wisdom isn’t just a word children, it is also a way of life. Allowing yourself to be open to wisdom, allows the fortunes of tomorrow to be built upon the journeys of yesterday, and only then, in those moments can you fully appreciate the true aspects of wisdom and it’s touch,” Gunya says as he […]
“I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS!” Marcus bellows, throwing his arms into the air as he launches himself to his feet. “DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT THE EFFECT THIS STUPID STUNT OF YOURS HAS CAUSED?” Carl shrugs his shoulders as he tilts his head to the side. “Sorta.” Marcus slaps him around the head with a […]
Blake drops to his knees and lets out a stuttered sigh of exhaustion. He casts a wandering glance towards Sydney’s motionless form, allowing his eyes to follow the trail of blood as it runs down the uneven concrete floor, and slowly forms a puddle in the corner. His heart skips momentarily as the thrusting engines […]
He places the phone on the bedside table and pushes his head into the pillow, sinking into it as if it was fluffy sand. For several seconds his eyelids flicker erratically before gently falling shut, and his world is swallowed into darkness. A sea of soft comfortable cushions engulf him while the rhythmic sounds of […]
Luke looks down at the paper and awkwardly plays with the pen as he reads the words once again before looking back up at Damien with a nervous expression across his face. “What is it that trouble you?” Damien asks as he smiles and furrows his brow with concern. “Tell me and I will ease […]
Bray drips to his knees and stretches his arms out wide as he arches his head backwards peering into the sky with eyes wild. “You call me home while I cannot be found, yet I see the doorway that should not be. Forsake a pathway beneath the sin, yet I regret nothing, slender hands around […]
“Well I’ll be hogtied, it’s Danny Long Legs!” he says as a twinkle glimmers in his eyes and a soft smile draws itself across his wrinkled lips as he looks over the photograph that Clare passed him. “D-D-Danny Long Legs?” “Yup! We used to sing songs about him when we were kids, not that D-Danny […]
“And they say to this day, in the dead of night when the moon is at its highest peak, you can still here his cries, and some have even told stories of meetings made between them and the Baron himself,” Stolzen says with a wry smile across his lips, as he looks around the campfire […]
Kiefer blinks several lazy times before his iris dilate in the darkness that grips at his sides. Suddenly his world heaves forward and arches upwards as it begins to spins in an uneasy twisting movement while the silence slowly finds itself drowned out by distorted reverberations of a guitar being strummed. With a whimsical expression […]
Virtual Intention “I didn’t say there wouldn’t be a price, I just failed to mention what it woul…” “YOU SAID THERE WERE RISKS ASSOCIATED, BUT THE FORTUNE WOILD HE UNCOUNTABLE! THAT’S IT! COMPLETE AND FROM YOUR MOUTH, OR DO I NEED TO REPLAY THE WHOLE CONVERSATION AGAIN?” Tyler bellows as he holds a small device […]
Fish Tank Blues Taylor tosses the Manila folder to the bench top and stoically digs his fits into his hips before letting out a lengthy hiss of frustration. “THIS IS BULLSHIT!” he spits as he turns to face Carson. “I just can’t believe that this thing slithered up the side of the building, then forced […]
Burning Mirrors “The left or right?” “Does it matter?” Silva pulls an awkward face while he scratches his head vigorously. “I guess if it’s drawing from the source material it should, right?” “Fucked if I have any clue about what the procedures are when reimagining SHIT like this, does the source material even say what […]
Burnt Toast “What the FUCK is that smell?” Stevie groans as his nose twists up upon itself like a snail escaping into its shell. “Pete,” Kevin says with a wink. “W-Who or what is Pete?” Shawn asks with surprise. “Yeah Pete, or crispy Pete as I like to call him now, the twat from number […]
It Started Without A Bang The flames shoot high into the air, and Michael smiles like a fucking idiot. He turns and looks at me, and winks before blowing me a kiss. It all happened before I realised it was happening, my left fist was meeting with his teeth and my right was squeezing his […]
Perfectly Unrealistic Gerald gestures towards Keith, and then back to himself, smiling broadly as he does. “You know we’re connected, you and I are like brothers,” he sings as he slaps a cigarette packet against his palm, and skilfully catches a cigarette as it shoots out of the torn hole in the packets corner. “We […]
A Crime Of A Scene The floor hums with the vibrant energy that once coursed through Sammy’s being while the sea of reds touch grows grander with each passing moment. Stewart crouches beyond the puddles reach and studies Sammy’s motionless form, then looks up at Karver with a raised eyebrow. “Splat!” he says sharply as […]
The Paternity Of A Paradox “Extinct as well I’m afraid,” Carl says with an uneasy smile as he refills Jefferson’s glass. His eyes widen and his lips are shaken then stirred by a nervous twitch that run across them while the blood quickly exits his face. “B-Bullshi..” he doesn’t get to finish his words as […]
I Played A Pretty Hand The torch light shines pasts the thousands of decaying eyes that follow their every move, and shakily falls upon a small trickle of water that runs down a corner of the building. Theodore looks at the overly smug Ricardo, and then back to the focal point of the torches light. […]
