  • MAYBE IT WAS THE RAIN

    I kept the date. It was our last chance. Your last chance. If you don’t show up this time then I’ll know for sure. Fifteen years since the High School prom. We were perfect. You wanted to be with me. Why should that have changed? So every year, on the anniversary of that evening, I…

  • IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH

    Well, I couldn’t get rid of all the memories of you after all. I tried to be good. It was something we always said we would only do together. I just never planned for you leaving me alone so soon. I don’t want you to think I’m being unfaithful. I think you would want me…

  • INVASIVE SPECIES

    The spores floated through the air. No one knew where they had come from. Some said outer space, some said underground, some said the remotest part of the Great Steppe. Some revered as they passed overhead, some reviled. Portents of doom mixed with euphoria. The Great Coming of either a God or a Devil. Alarms…

  • IN PRAEPARATIONE

    ‘Not going to help you much when the flood comes, Noah,’ they sneered at the conspicuous life raft parked in front of the church. Little did they know. Underneath the building, Pastor Michaels rewired the circuit breaker for the thousandth time. ‘I’ll be ready.’ He took another gulp of moonshine, swayed, tripped over his toolbox…
