I'm so happy to share the May monthly story with the world. Which considering what is revealed in it might be a worry. This is a horror short. I don't usually do horror, so this was quiet fun, even though it got quite brutal. The prompt for this was 'Allure', which initially didn't seem like …

I wasn't too happy with how my monthly story for March, Vault, turned out. I went into that month planning to do a flash piece based on a list of what was in an ancient vault. I was writing this in February, already a short month, and I knew I wouldn't be able to work …

2025 is almost over, and I managed to get a lot done. Not as much as I would have liked, but there's been some downs this year, so that's to be expected. At the start of the year I set myself a few goals, so now it's time to see how I went. These were …
Last month I dropped a lot of lore with the Towers of Knowledge, this month we'll go back to basics with more bugs. One thing that inspired this world was that I feel not many alien stories address the possibility of incompatible biochemistry. The fact that life in the Green Human World and the Black …
