Dreams and Wishes
At least once a week I get a dream of being kicked in the ribs while on the ground. I look down and see me on the floor and give another vicious kick. I hurt and I hit, full of malice. Every new time the kicker becomes the kicked, the chain of violence and pain…
Accelerate to Futura
I do not care for your peri peri chicken sauce or your 2 for 1 deal – fuck off. I do not care for your low-calorie diet cereals – fuck off. I do not care for your fat free yoghurt – fuck off. I do not care about your talent shows and I do not…
The Right to Rage Notes: Part 1 – ‘In the company of Satan’
You know what hell is? I’ll tell you; I’ve seen it. It lies at the end of life when you meet the person you could have become. It’s every day when you felt it was not enough or that you did nothing. That feeling is multiplied infinitely, because there is no hope of tomorrow. Tomorrow…
With Friends I: Conversations in Cars
EXTRACT I: Speed cameras – “Violation of our freedom. I’m an adult and I can drive, fuck off. All these speed limits too. Well 30 is better than 40. Ok well 20 is safer than 30 and 10 is safer than 20. And we will make all motorways 20 miles per hour and if you’re…
With Friends I: ‘Smoking for the Cootchie’
We are at a house party which would be so much cooler if not so many people were out in the back garden smoking, making the house feel a little bit emptier than it should. Forget racism, this is real apartheid, move over Nelson Mandela. By ‘we’ I mean the typical squad of lads. Rex,…
With Friends I: ‘Night Out’
We enter The Professor, which was previously named The Tutor. Not much seems to have changed. Maybe it’s bluer? It’s pretty dead, but I don’t mind. I don’t want to dance or be lost in the crowd, I want to actually hear people and not have my drink hit from me by those who have…
With Friends I: ‘Highly Intellectual Discussions While Absolutely Drunk’
“I’m suing Disney for emotional damage. They’re slowly destroying my childhood, one remake at a time – the fuckers.” – Someone cheated. “All politicians believe in nothing. They have no belief system, only what gets them into office.” “Precisely. It’s for that reason they do have an ideology – expediency.” “You think you’re so clever…
With Friends I: ‘House Viewing’
“Sorry, but I don’t have any ice for the gins I’m afraid.” “C’mon buddy, what kind of operation are you running here?” “I just haven’t got any ice in the freezer.” “You didn’t fill up the trays with water? I didn’t know I was dealing with an amateur.” “I don’t have any trays.” “I thought…
The Right to Rage – Prologue: Hell Hath No Fury…
He buys fireworks over a set period of time, from multiple vendors, in various amounts. He chooses farmland near a busy motorway and waits for a foggy night. It comes. He sets them alight near the road, obvious even in the restricted visibility, so drivers will be tempted to look away from the road, distracting…
Are You Still Alive?
I am alive. Why do I post so rarely? I’ll be honest. It’s a mixture of a few things. First off, I have been lazy, no other way about it. I feel like I should produce more, but everything that I feel like creating is not apt for the essay/short story format. If I am…
