Music on the Wind
Drip… Drip… Drip… Blood fell from the tree. It pooled beneath the swinging legs of a man who was dead. The others did not bleed; their bodies hung dry and desiccated, swaying in the breeze. The ropes that held their necks creaked in time with the limbs of the tree as they swung.

A Life I Might Have Lead
Something crashed to the floor, the sound reverberating through the echoing halls of the monastery. A strong wind had kicked up in the early hours of the evening and carried driving rain with it from the sea; brother Maynard claimed the storm would rage all night, saying that he felt it in his aching joints.

The Story I Want to Write Some Day
Everyone I’ve ever met has a story they would love to write some day, a great and perfect piece of art that will take the world by storm and finally bring them the stability to live in a cabin by a lake in the mountains with a big friendly dog.

Wanderlust
Thin air burned in his lungs. For a moment, just a hint of a moment, he considered the wagon slowly trundling along behind him. But that was pointless, he would still only be able to travel at the pace of the slowest porter; and besides, it was better to spare the horses at these altitudes. Not for the first time, he looked around as a broad grin split his face. Mountains are never so glorious as when one is on foot between their massive shoulders.

Uncle Shu’s Window
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Just the barest glimpse of the world that should not exist, and she paid dearly for the privilege. More than others, less so than some, but nothing is free. Not in the utopia of the tunnels.

Growing Up BigTop Story - June 2023
Hello there, I'm going to open up about my youth and how it impacted me as a man. You can imagine that this is a difficult story to share as I'm not the best at expressing myself, hopefully you'll understand why by the end.

On Showing and Telling
I’m reasonably sure that even the meme about how everyone says "show don’t tell" is a meme. Naturally I’m just your average internet goblin so I'm hardly the definitive source. But what I am certain about is that this standard piece of advice isn’t worth the paper it's written on.

By Firelight
Shadows danced on the wall of the long house as an old man made the slow walk to the stone circle surrounding the central fire. He was shrouded in a reverential silence spread by his passing. Even the children knew the importance of this walk and followed the silent lead of their elders.
