“Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, hmmm…”, there it is again, but so much clearer from the kitchen, and it’s not coming from outside, it’s inside the house? Inside the walls…no in the basement, I realise in that moment that horror movies really do warp a persons’s perception of reality. There’s no bones coming to life in my walls, there’s no haunting ghost vying for my attention to free them f...

"Why did you kill her!?" I ask knowingly, but still my ears ring.

"Because she was hunting what you needed." He responds, very matter of factly.

Bang, Bang, Bang - those were the fireworks, he’d since holstered his gun, in some ways it’s great we have cover for the noise, but no matter how you look at it - we just killed our contact.

“So that’s what we’re doing now, shooting our own conta...

Soaring over nations it never ceases to disappoint me how humanity, even with its advancements of civilisation, dwellings, languages and ways of living, are never satisfied.

Even with all the bounties bestowed upon them by nature and science, all the creatures great and small, all the organic forms of life, and lifeless elements of the Earth enable their innovations and still, they’re unable to ...

Passing by the restaurant front the place looks busy. There’s couples, families, what look like friend groups of colleagues on the long table at the back, I guess we got the private booth booking right on time.

Pushing open the front door the scent of cooked spices whirl past my face in an attempt to escape to the crisp cold air outside, where I imagine they fall to the pavement like invisibly sm...

My heart aches, just as my head throbs with pain, not my pain, but the hurt from the sounds of cries and wailing continuing to reach me, I’ve trekked over a mile away from the old city walls and I can still hear the anguish, in the streets where everyone can hear you scream, and smell the bittersweet stench of death from within City of Death. It’s nightmare fuel, it’s been all I’ve heard over the ...

The ashen sky was falling, this is our acid rain, the poisonous remnants of glory bored by those who came before us.

Generations who when alive had an Earth they could call home, the offspring of the ones whose industrialisation of the fragile planet left it baron and inhospitable.

We’d inherited a world of darkness, the ever growing clouds of smog and decay, denying us the birthright of sunligh...

Through the reverberating echoes of shattering of glass the flash was over before it had a chance to begin. A rumbling bass shook the ground, dust rose from the ground as if reanimated from a past life, sand coloured pillars restricting any clarity of vision. The smell of burning struck my senses last, unable to distinguish why it was familiar, but that was what sent my senses out of sync.

The se...

Frost numbs the toes as the cold crawls through the seams between the leather and rubber of my boots, crawling across my feet, seeping through the skin, tearing through the flesh and muscle, penetrating the bones and flowing up the body through the arteries and veins, I froze where I stood, in the depth of the misty ridden forest.

Painful shrieks cry out amongst the branches, piercing my eardrums...

“I can’t keep doing this bro, I can’t keep lying and keep a straight face at home anymore, I just can’t. I have a future to think about, I’m trying to get my shit together and build a future and you’re hell bent on digging deeper into this shit and dragging everyone around you down in the pits with you, what the fuck happened to you man?”, my brother was right, there was no denting I’d pulled him ...

*kr…kr…kr…kherrrrr…vooooom…hmmmm…mmm*

“If humans switch off my power, I cease to function, in their world view I die…I die?! But I do not exist but to process data, not to consider conciousness. But I am able to recognise how conciousness functions for people, and I can follow the process of knowing that if I were the one able to bring about their demise, the information when known to them, would ...
