Probably wash your hands

And then it appeared.Small ringlets of matted fur tangled into a single clump of dirt. Knot upon knot tangling into something that couldn’t have been done intentionally. At first I thought it to be a discarded scrap of hessian, maybe half a bag of potatoes that someone left out in the sun. But as it moved, … Continue reading Probably wash your hands →

Up Round Where We Begin Again

Angus Craddic was in a barrel. He hadn’t always been in a barrel but now, in this moment, he was vividly aware that he was, without a shadow of a doubt, sitting in something that very much resembled a barrel.A scotch filled barrel Deja vu danced around his thoughts and the act of rubbing his … Continue reading Up Round Where We Begin Again →

The Failed Cultist Part III

Quiet and indifferent, the crest of morning began to build with a lazy amble upon the horizon. The mud yellow of sunrise filtered across Balendup, illuminating the chaotic mess of a third story apartment and a ritual left abandoned. Blood, still damp on the kitchen table, stagnantly reflected a small sun dog onto a patch … Continue reading The Failed Cultist Part III →

The Failed Cultist Part II

‘How far down should I go?’ Marla thrust a shovel into the soil, her breaths hung visible the night air. It was Autumn and the wet leaf litter crunched noisily underfoot as she took pause, attempting to stamp some energy back into her legs. ‘I don’t know is 12ft a thing? Am I going to … Continue reading The Failed Cultist Part II →

The Failed Cultist Part I

'Oh, hello!'And then there was nothing.Sounds continued as they ever did, but the finality of an ending never appeared. Nothing that radiated itself again and again.Feet trekked on cobbled streets, the wind played its melody through scattered leaves, millions of internal dialogs ran circles inside the minds of a still existing human race. ‘I was … Continue reading The Failed Cultist Part I →

What is Peppermint?

What is peppermint tea? Peppermint tea says a lot about you as a person. It says “Hey this guy or gal is a rambunctious go getter and man they’re looking really swell today.” Unfortunately the psycofrequencial good vibes emitted by the, very encouraging, tea are at a polar dissonance to human brain patterns and can … Continue reading What is Peppermint? →

Weight Of Weight

“Clocks move slower than time. It’s science, or at least something very science adjacent, surely. If only they’d fund the research.” The nebulous definition of “they” in which the bored thoughts flitted lackadaisical, were beginning to move onward toward what many male thoughts will do if given idleness. “If that man came at me … Continue reading Weight Of Weight →

To Fix Somthing

“Please fix” said a note left taped to a gauge.Broken, but not the literal sense. Ten minutes into dead run the primary transformer blew and pissed oil into the sump well.Tired eyes, once so close to sleep, became glazed with the already half-expected prospect of another double-shift fixing transformer no.2. The windings needed a return, honestly … Continue reading To Fix Somthing →

The Two Undertakers

While ambling down main street, not one month ago, I passed the local graveyard. Now I am in no way a morose person but the whims of the fickle caused me to take a stroll within.As I passed some beautifully constructed memorials my wanderings approached two Gravediggers toiling upon a fresh grave. One, A rather portly … Continue reading The Two Undertakers →

Yawn, Breakfast

The sunrise falls with the familiar thud of a Tuesday morning. Bleeps of urgency, hidden amongst the repercussions of an anarchistic filing system, leave three dreams short of enough sleep to collect their fragments and give consciousness a try.The “merrily” chirping alarm, continues to go about its job with such a professional aplomb that it … Continue reading Yawn, Breakfast →
