Arrrrr, mateys! It’s time for an amusing tale about a drunk pirate and a magic barrel. I hope you enjoy it! The Pirate and the Barrel “Where did I go wrong?” the pirate moaned in misery, looking at the barrel sitting in front of him. To his drunk, slightly fuzzy …
This is a sort of nostalgic piece, one told from a more distant viewer with touches of the characters’ emotions as well. I guess it’s kind of about the inevitability of life, and how things go on, even if it isn’t how you imagine it will be. The Ship Bright …
Today’s short story is another I wrote a while ago to some long-lost prompt (I think; either that, or it just stumbled out of my subconscious. I’m not sure at this point.) Although it’s long enough that it falls outside of my flash fiction limit of 500 words, it’s over …
Every now and then I dust off old stories to see how they look. Some of them are terrible and shall never see the light of day. Some might be worth polishing up, if I took the time to do so. And others, while never serious pieces, are cute enough …
Today’s Saturday Short is a story I wrote a few years ago for my aunt’s birthday. She loves the ocean, and diving, and I previously wrote her a story about a shark and a mermaid (which might, one day, venture into the public eye as well.) This story is less …

Long ago I played a game of raising pixel dragons. At one point, I was rather active on the forums, and even joined in some of the festivities at times. Once, I participated in a Secret Santa for which people wrote stories or poems as gifts. The following is the …
The Astrals has long been a project of mine, being one of the first novels I ever wrote, one of the stories dearest to my heart, as well as a story that has gone through more revisions than any other I’ve written (in part due to the horrendous nature of …
I’ve missed a couple of Saturday Shorts, but they’re back! Today’s was written a while ago, based on a challenge to write a story in exactly 50 words. I hope you enjoy this brief read. Foiled I made faces at the dark window, laughing at my reflection. Headlights appeared outside. …
Belated again this week… But for good reason–I spent yesterday doing lots of work. Critting on Scribophile, editing Upgrade, chores around the house… At any rate, apologies for the belatedness. Today I’m sharing another excerpt from Upgrade, the opening of Chapter One. I’ve revised it after some feedback that it …
