All The Other Little Stories

Everything that's not a horror story or a poem goes here, because categorising and collecting everything by genre would take too long and then I would feel compelled to write at least one story in every genre, and I am NOT writing a period drama.

Dreams of a Better Place - Part 5

Trevor watched Mister Bumbles, and his old friend watched him back, its huge black eye worse than the dark that lay in his closet at night time. His new friend called to him but he couldn’t answer.

Captain William Sark - Chapter 2: Port Plunder

Ar, what a load of rubbish this was. What a dirty great waste of good gold coins. Now I didn’t even have enough left for a few drinks down at the tavern.

Captain William Sark - Chapter 1: IToldYouThatStorySoICouldTellYouThisOne

The Captain returns for another adventure; battling monsters, and his own future, in an attempt to prevent Soap Scum and Brine from ever happening. Can he change his future, and maybe even the world?

Captain William Sark - Chapter 3: The Lusty Anchor

The Captain and his crew settle down to do what pirates do best... hard drinking. But why does the mayor want them off the island? And what is the strange enemy haunting The Captain?

Soap Scum and Brine (Part 1)

The great and vast ocean was deceptively calm as they slowly made progress above its surface, the tiny ripples multiplying and multiplying again.
Cherry

Soap Scum and Brine (Part 2)

Words can’t describe his horror at the thought of dying by choking to death on a lungful of soapy bubbles, and it was this fear that dragged him back to his feet and forced him to think.

Soap Scum and Brine (Part 3)

The wind stayed strong and filled their sails, and the sea was smooth like glass and the head of the ship cut through it smoothly and silently, their speed building and then staying steady.

Soap Scum and Brine (Part 4)

The speed of the wave and the spray coming from it was blinding him, and he could barely see.

Soap Scum and Brine (Part 5 - Final)

The first thing he was aware of was the heat of the sun on his haggard old face, and the sound of the sea once again at peace.

If every cloud has a silver lining, then this storm rolling in will make me a millionaire.

Dreams of a Better Place - Part 1

...Lil' Trev is sitting in the lounge playing with his toys. His dad is watching the game highlights on their brand new 50" HD LCD Sony television and Trevor might as well be invisible.
Cherry

Dreams of a Better Place - Part 2

Trevor's daddy looks away from the TV long enough to tell Trevor to hush up, Trevor giggles and copies him 'smush shup!' and goes back to his toys, all of them scattered around him haphazardly.

Dreams of a Better Place - Part 4

As Mr. Bumbles was wrenched from little Trevor’s arms, he didn’t have time to cry and bawl until he got the bear back. He didn’t even have time for his eyes to begin to brim with tears.

Ghost

“My name is Trevor Collins, and for as long as I can remember, I could see and talk to ghosts.”
Story of the week

Sir Trevaricus

It was around the time that I bought him the Lord of The Rings Trilogy on Blu Ray that he started dressing up.

Sir Trevaricus 2: A Pox Upon Thee, Spider Queen

“Shelob! You shall meet your death you hellish creature!” “Trevor, put the sword down, it’s just a spider!”

Sir Trevaricus 3: There and Jack Daniels Again

I have never wished more than I could drink and drive. Trevor won’t stop singing songs in some sort of stupid language that sounds like he’s strangling himself.

Waiting

I’d seen him at this stop a thousand times, and that’s probably not even an exaggeration.
Cherry

My Doctor's Bag

I sat on the edge of her bed, and it was so soft it was like trying to get comfortable on a massive, clinically white marshmallow.
Cherry

The Causeway Nursing Home

I wrestle the kid to the ground. His body is so frail and rotted that it makes it an easy job, even for someone so far along in years as me.
