Library incidents

I have a story in the latest edition of Locust Magazine called ‘University Library’: Locust Three – December 2012 Incidents while drifting through corridors… ‘I approach a tarnished wooden table bending under the weight of texts. One archaic-looking tome catches my attention. It’s an atlas, waiting to be opened again. The atlas creaks open, land […]

Merry December 21st 2012!

Here we are folks, the closing of the 13th Baktun… We’ve made it this far, who’s to say where we go from here? A day to consider our interwoven fates. Pictured is the Portal of Hadron, gateway for subatomic ghosts. Here’s wishing you a fabulous 14th Baktun!

Non-Recreational Camping

I have a story in The Satirist called ‘The Occupational Hazards of Occupying’ – an exposé of the rise and fall of Fred Zamtoit, leader within the Occupy movement: http://www.thesatirist.com/stories/The_Occupational_Hazards_of_Occupying.html This is a satire based on observations of Tent City in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. Life at Tent City acquired a rhythm and direction. A man known […]

Unbottled

Priapic

Poor old sad sack, couldn’t even…… you know. He slept out back. At a convent nestled in the alps in the Garden of Needing the Monsignor dines on pears, wine and emmentaler cheese surrounded by a bevy of nuns, unaware of an approaching coven of enchanted priestesses, dew of the Urchin running off their chins. The Judas […]

Geomuted

I have a flash fiction piece up at Farther Stars Than These, sci-fi about noise and silence in a future world: http://www.fartherstars.com/ “There were old recordings of silence, but they couldn’t be heard for the din. Of course there were density isolation chambers, but only the obscenely wealthy could enjoy those … Only the old ones […]

Imagine Summer

Her name was Imagine Summer. She was one of LeVram’s graduate students during the early work on the Calculix. She stands out in memory not least because of her nearly purple eyes that I’d gaze at as I passed her in the hallway. I liked to pretend she was pretending not to notice me. A […]
