The rains are coming

This story excerpt is based on rural America and the people that live there. The rains are coming. I am certain of it. I imagine I can hear the distant rumble of grey storm clouds on the horizon, and the pitter-patter of water drumming on the corrugated iron roof. It’s still pitch-black outside, so there’sContinue reading “The rains are coming”

A love of words

Lillian’s passion for writing reminds me hauntingly of myself! I love this short and sweet piece and it’s one of the favourites I have published so far. The bell tolled, ringing through the classrooms, but Lillian didn’t look up. Her hand scrawled hastily across the page, spilling ink everywhere in her anxiousness to finish herContinue reading “A love of words”

Liongazers-Part 1

Another post on lions! I have taken an interest in these big cats and decided to write more about them. Enjoy! The night was still young when the lioness jerked awake, a growing feeling of uneasiness hollowing her stomach. She glanced around, but the purplish twilight was impenetrable, and the gentle balmy breeze was blowingContinue reading “Liongazers-Part 1”

Incidental

I love lions, and my experiences with them over the years have been incredible. I decided to write this excerpt to give this ferocious beast what it’s due. The lion’s rumbling snores vibrated through the dusty ground as Dr Katherine Halloway tiptoed across the enclosure towards the sleeping beast. A tufted red dart sticking outContinue reading “Incidental”

Perfection

This story is based on my experiences in my grandparents’ house in Europe. It is a delightful old place, brimming with secrets and rooms and countryside smells. Annie had always thought herself lucky. She contemplated this as she gazed out over the expansive green meadows, bursting with flowers of every possible shape, size and colour,Continue reading “Perfection”

Surfing with sharks

I had a phase when I was fascinated by sharks, and this story was the product of it. I wanted to get across that not all shark encounters end in severed arteries and pools of blood-sharks (great whites in particular) are very intelligent and deserve our respect. The red dirt track wound along the cliffContinue reading “Surfing with sharks”

Forever over

I yawned, flashing my gleaming fangs, and stretched leisurely, the dazzling sun glancing off my bold, satin hide. Rasping my sandpaper tongue over my lustrous fur, I rolled idly onto my back, churning my huge, padded paws in the air. Glancing over to the stained and scratched glass, I glimpsed a parade of young boysContinue reading “Forever over”
