The Terrible Tale of the Scarlett Shaw

This first ever edition of “The Terrible Tale of the Scarlett Shaw” is dedicated to everyone who believed in me. It’s taken four years, but throughout it all, there were a special few who kept the faith. You know who you are. As this is the first ever completed edition of this damned book, IContinueContinue reading “The Terrible Tale of the Scarlett Shaw”

Thunder

It was then I heard the thunder, split asunder through the sky.I could not help but wonder, as I watched it pass me by.Was it the voice of heaven? An angel calling out my name?Or was it the sound of water, falling down as rain?

Upon the Grounds of Circumstance

When the weight of the world comes fully to bear,And the trials are many ahead.I shall not give in to the voices and words,The cruelest ones inside my head. Let us not speak of the demons,With their forked tongues and razor claws,Let us speak of the reasons,The reasons to stand firm, and forge on. StrengthContinueContinue reading “Upon the Grounds of Circumstance”

The Only Story

I have told many stories in my life,Though not all have had an end.Some were true, some were false,But compared to you, they were just pretend. There’s all sorts of things within this world,That was never meant to be known.I’ve seen birds and beasts all flying high,But none like your soul, have ever flown. IContinueContinue reading “The Only Story”

You & I

We are not long meant for this world, you and I.Where happiness is to live, and misery is to die.Think not of it in these firm terms,Think not of it and cry.We weren’t meant to be eternal,We weren’t meant for forever.We made made to wonder why. Our times we are taught to long for.Our timesContinueContinue reading “You & I”

War

I am at war, a lasting fight that I strive to win.It is a battle fought, won and lost, from a place that’s deep within.It is a struggle and a trial, a snarling beast that will not be trained.It is a burden and a blight, a constant weight around me chained.It has so many voices,ContinueContinue reading “War”

The Eye Watches

Hey guys, It’s been so long since my last post, (another damn year!), but I’ve finally managed to finish the first draft of a novel! It’s utter garbage at the moment and needs a lot of work, it’s definitely kept me busy! I’ve finished the prologue and it’d be great to hear any thoughts orContinueContinue reading “The Eye Watches”

These Facinating Creatures

Hey Guys, I know it’s been a while since my last post, (nearly a year…), but I’ve been busying myself with a bunch of other projects and my short stories have fallen to the wayside slightly. This last year I’ve once again attempted to write a full novel, ( got to 40,000 damn words) butContinueContinue reading “These Facinating Creatures”

The Arrival of Decklan Winters

Hey guys, Apologies about the lack of stories, it’s been a strange old time as of late! I’ve just finished writing this latest piece, set in the “Restorationists” universe. It tells a short sharp tale of a veteran from the boer war meeting some of his old comrades… and his speech of how he isContinueContinue reading “The Arrival of Decklan Winters”

The Choice

Hey guys, Over the past few weeks, I’ve been putting more time into “The Baron”, trying hopelessly to do the idea justice on paper. But in the meantime, I’ve written a couple of little pieces influenced by reddits, r/writingprompts. This one was simple. There has to be a choice. As always I appreciated any thoughtsContinueContinue reading “The Choice”
