Following Hydra

LittleFears36 Comments

“I saw a young girl walking up the road to the afterlife with you in tow,” said Yuffie. “Usually, when humans die, a whole procession of us walk behind them. We linger here for a while before being forgotten and moving on. With the young girl, there was only you.”

Hydra furrowed his brows. “What else usually follows humans to the world in-between?”

“Everything they ever dreamed of, everything they hoped for, everything they remembered and did in their entire lives,” replied Yuffie. “Also, the tax-man and Facebook updates…”

Seeking Hydra is free for the next 4 days! Yup, that’s our new book. Not in the UK or USA? Drop me a message and I’ll try and get it onto your local Amazon.

Fancy a synopsis?

If anything is going to save the Little Fears from awful punch lines, it is not Hydra having an existential crisis. In Seeking Hydra, Great British groaners are the order of the day as the assembled Little Fears make their way through 90 tales of lemon trees, kinky behaviour, confused doors and mystical road hogs. Boxers seek a joke; Beat finds his pop; Sprite sees a Russian president; Lucy shoots a clay pigeon; Emu’s tossed out of a club. Written and posted with scruffy illustrations daily on LittleFears.co.uk, these brief vignettes (50 to 100 words) chronicle the continuing adventures of the Little Fears. With only a sense of whimsy and a deep love of old British comedy, Seeking Hydra will make you groan, cry and laugh until a bit of wee comes out, in a truly original, unoriginal, work of art and fiction.

Cheers everyone! Hope you enjoy!

Finding Hydra

LittleFears19 Comments

“Hello Hydra,” said Yuffie. “I’ve been missing you, where have you been?”

“Seeking my identity,” sighed Hydra.

“Ah,” replied Yuffie. “Are you having an existential crisis?”

“Not sure,” said Hydra. “What’s an existential crisis?”

“Well,” replied Yuffie, “it’s this thing that happens to humans when they can’t sleep at 3 am…”

Howdy! Our new book, Seeking Hydra, will be released today. From Monday to Friday this week the Kindle/ebook edition will be free. Keep an eye out for a post and links later on today!

Lady Smoke

LittleFears17 Comments

She just stood there. Watching her.

The door handle was hot enough to melt her skin. Her right hand useless. Her left hand wrapped in a t-shirt. Better luck this time.

Almost blinded by smoke, she could still see her. She ran down the stairs, the heat singeing her hair. Her tear ducts couldn’t function. Her eyes were dry. She reached the front door.

She stood watching from the top of the stairs.

She was outside, coughing, lungs filled with smoke. She felt dizzy. There she was. Standing over her.

In lieu of Hydra story because they’ll be Monday to Friday this coming week, a Sunday afternoon horror story.

Screen Time

LittleFears30 Comments

She stood by the console, looking at her laptop screen. She composed herself. She hadn’t expected it to be like this.

She adjusted her screen. Interestingly, she had no reflection. She turned to look at the body, laying sideways on the floor, still half in the fallen chair.

As the paramedics hammered on the door, she sighed knowing it was too late. She wasn’t coming back from this one.

In lieu of Hydra story because they’ll be Monday to Friday this coming week, a Saturday night horror story.

Ants Legs

LittleFears44 Comments

He held the magnifying glass above the ant. Every time it started to burn, it managed to get out from the focus of the heat.

“Try pinchin’ it’s legs off,” said James.

He reached down, gently holding the ant under his thumb, and sheared each leg off with his nail.

Once immobile, the lens came back out, the ant began burning again.

Funny the things you remember when somebody has drugged you and left you paralysed under a glass roof on the hottest day of the year.

Bad Zoos

LittleFears27 Comments

“It was chuffing awful,” moaned Cloud.

“What’s that?” asked Fuen.

“We went to a zoo this morning,” sighed House.

“It was tiny,” said Cloud.

“They had one exhibit,” grumbled House. “Just one dog.”

“Ah,” said Fuen. “Shih Tzu?”

“The worst,” replied Cloud.

Shoplifting Clouds

LittleFears39 Comments

“Well,” sighed Cloud, “I need to sort out my shoplifting problem.”

“Oh,” said Cloud. “How is that working out?”

“Not as well as I’d hoped,” grumbled Cloud.

“No rush though aye?” asked Cloud.

“I guess not,” sighed Cloud. “I’m just taking things one day at a time.”

Garden Furniture

LittleFears25 Comments

“Another argument,” asked Fuen.

“Yeah,” sighed Sprite.

“What is it this time?” asked Fuen.

“The missus says we need more garden furniture,” grumbled Sprite. “My daughter disagrees.”

“Your missus has a point,” said Fuen.

“Eh,” replied Sprite. “I’m sitting on the fence.”

 

Old Lives

LittleFears21 Comments

He stood on the ledge. A wave of dizziness washed over him. He did a 2-step stagger, but remained upright.

“Once it’s done,” said Jake, “I get my old life back?”

“Of course,” said Lucy.

He looked at the concrete below. Closing his eyes, he took his last step.

Lucy looked over the ledge at the red stain.

“Should have specified which old life you wanted back,” grinned Lucy.

Another one of the original six horror stories I wrote. It found its way into my second book, the horror anthology, Capricorn.
