Then It All Goes Poof

Come here, I want to show you something she says. You nod and follow. It’s strange, as the back parking lot behind Radwin-Sheefler is not a place you’d expect this person, your supervisor, to bring you. Rounding a corner you’re astonished to see everyone you’ve ever known gathered there. Hundreds and hundreds of people standing in silence. You […]

The Dunes South of Town

Hoar frost paints the fields, dappling a hazy whiteness over winter’s brown expanse. Waves of snow ripple to the horizon, if not stopped dead by broken hills. Some creature crawling over the horizon. . . In time it resolves into a figure coming towards me in long robes. I could change direction, but the gravitation […]

Minds bent against it, trying to figure it out… Things have changed and […]

This planet is being eaten

The transcripts of Bern Hijkl’s recounted journeys by way of the Calculix are hard to reconcile. I had to remind myself that they were the product of controlled research, conducted by reputable scientists and overseen by Dr. LeVram himself. Bern describes scenes that to him are as real as any place, though their plot and […]

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 […]

Non-Recreational Camping
