The Final AI
A short, short story: Four, now, or five? I can’t remember. Someone in the on-line forum said this is number five, but I’m only up to three. It’s important, I know it is. And I’ll do it. I will. Some things take time to consider, research, and seek advice before plunging in. I wouldn’t buy … Continue reading The Final AI
Min-Min
https://sixcrookedhighways.com/2023/02/25/min-min-weekly-prompt-25-feb-2023/ The moon opened its face, brought light into the deep hollow in the ground. Water glistened at the bottom, a long way down. Marks in the dirt showed tracks. This was the place of life, the Naji. Smoke drifted up, coiled into a spring and unwound a path. Mibba followed it, down when it … Continue reading Min-Min

Short and Sharp
Yes, a story. Probably fiction, although maybe not for someone. Two weeks to go, and then it'd be the start of a new year. A new life, new prospects. And a new job in a new town. With nothing to stand in her way, Roz packed what she wanted to keep, tossed what was tatt, … Continue reading Short and Sharp
The Creeper
A short horror story for those unafraid of the dark nights. Two shades of darkness beyond the security glass of the back door. Two shapes emerge, one darker than the darkest night, one a shiver of movement that looked like a shark gliding through deep water. Both moving closer to my house, my sanctuary. The … Continue reading The Creeper
A Train Story
One of my stories is being published in an anthology in January 2023. Yes, it's a horror story, a creepy tale about a train that used to travel along the tracks behind the house I lived in as a kid.
