Malcolm wondered how these cases came about. He knew this was going to stick with him.
The young boy drifted in and out of sleep.
Malcolm’s hand brushed over the model aeroplanes hanging from the roof.
The boy stirred.
Malcolm pulled his hammer out of his belt.
The boy smiled up at Malcolm. Malcolm smiled back
Maybe it was better if the boy didn’t live. At least he wouldn’t have to witness the horrors to come.

“Very,” sighed Mountain. “I stayed up all night. I wanted to know why humans are in awe of the sun rising.”
“Oh,” said Hydra.
“Yeah,” mumbled Mountain. “Then it dawned on me.”
Hohoho! That’s a vintage punch-line right there!

Check her out, a wiggly wurm, in the fantasy sense of course. She’s one of my Inktober doodles made good for this week’s Colour Collective on Twitter. No backstory yet as she’s a fresher than fresh character. I quite like the look of her. She’s a keeper.
Dwagons
Another Inktober creature, but I adore her already. Give her a moonlit backing and shes a sexy dragon who’ll be coming back in the future. She’s available as an art print from $12 on my Threadless store.
I was fortunate to be featured on ItsOnCraft’s craft cards this week. Head on over to catch my 30-second bite of wisdom on honing your craft. Complete with a cheesy pun of course.
I haven’t had the link for the About page on this site visible, since the beginning, yet people always found it. So two weeks ago, I tidied it up, made it show up and forgot to turn comments off. Doh! Apologies if you commented, I have since cleaned off all comments from my about page. I like my info pages nice and clean.
I don’t know if it’s cause and effect, but since making it visible I have had a number of new SKillshare students, t-shirt and book sales. Interesting. The power of a good about page? How the smeg did it get over 900 likes?
Yep, still doing Inktober, Witchtober and Goretober. A collage of how this week has gone.
Inktober has provided me with new characters left, right and centre.
Lucy has continued her killing spree across the internet. Interestingly, Lucy’s campaign of death is the most popular of the four projects I have going this month. Does that say something about me or you lot?
Yuffie’s looking a little more consistent in hat shape and style for Witchtober, which was the idea. She’s having a wander about the internet with Hydra and Ratty.
Creative Market Big Bundle
You may have noticed a little banner at the bottom of my posts the last few days. They won’t be appearing every day, but if I see a product I like and I think you may find useful, I’ll be nobbling an affiliate banner for it.
Creative Market bundles are something me and the missus have been buying for the last couple of years. Every month they put together over $1000 of digital goods and sell it for $39. The goodies you get range from WordPress templates to fonts to photography to mockups. If any of you click the banner and nobble a bundle, I get a few cents. It won’t make me rich, but it may help towards a web hosting bill.
Do you want a shout out at the bottom of my weekly update posts? Head on over to Patreon and pledge $10 or more a month and not only will you help with Hydra’s feed bill, but you will also get that weekly shout out with a link back to your site. Hit me up on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/littlefears
While we are on Patreon, a quick shout out to my fantastic new Patreon supporter Barbara from letitgocoach.com A wonderful wee blog that offers food for the soul. Thanks again Barbara!
“I am not sure what I am,” sighed Hydra. “Frustrated.”
“Ah,” replied Cloud. “An identity crisis. I get them a lot.”
“How come?” asked Hydra
“Imagine this,” said Cloud. “Every time a human looks at the clouds above and sees a shape in a cloud, a baby, a plane, a giraffe or the face of God, another of me appears in the land in-between.”
“How many of you are there?” asked Hydra.
“Last count,” sighed Cloud, “about three hundred billion.”
“Good grief,” exclaimed Hydra. “I bet that makes accepting party invites awkward.”
Angela kicked him under the table. “Who the heck are you talking too?”
“Sean,” said Bob. His eyes glazed over. “Shi…”
His head dropped into his soup. Bob was dead.
Angela screamed.
“Hey Angela,” said the voice. “What’s ma’ name?”
Ahh, this was one of my first horror stories. Before the ideas of creating books for my stories had ever formed in my head. Those with good memories may have seen a tale long ago featuring Sean’s untimely demise.
Utterly shameless plug, Say My Name found its way into my horror anthology, Capricorn.
