Stories / Poems

Here are some previously unpublished short stories to read online for free.

“Stop Press”

A surreal comical horror story, written some years ago for a creative writing class. The topic of the assignment was ‘newspaper headlines’.

 “Clown Stations”

Recently I entered a short story contest called the Campaign For Real Fear. Take a look at http://campaignforrealfear.wordpress.com/ if you want to know what it’s all about but the basic gist was to write a very short (500 word) story about something that scares you in the modern world. Since I didn’t win, I thought I’d share my entry (”Clown Stations”) with you guys rather than just let it rest in a drawer somewhere unread. Enjoy!

For something a bit lighter and shorter, feel free to read these humorous poems:

“The Robe”

“Vile Villanelle”

“The Sun Sings His 9 to 5 Blues”

“Mate”

“The Burger”
