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

“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

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.

Sprites Health

“Lord, help me,” pleaded Sprite.

“What’s up?” asked Sprite.

“I think I have hypochondria,” replied Sprite.

“Do you know what hypochondria is?” asked Sprite.

“No idea,” said Sprite. “But I know I’ve got it.”

Looky looky! Something came in the post today!

I need to give it a few read throughs, check for mistakes and then release. I’m going to keep giving the ebook away for free for the first five days of release for the next couple of books. Despite my annoyance with freebie hunters leaving bad reviews, I get away mostly unscathed compared to most indie authors I follow. If you fancy grabbing my first three books, hit the links below.

Lemon Trees

“I had a friend who dedicated his entire life to nurturing a lemon tree,” said Sprite.

“Nice,” replied Spectre.

“Yeah,” said Sprite. “Eighty-seven years, man and boy. Right up until the day it was struck by lightning and toppled over on top of him.”

“Damn,” said Spectre. “Did that kill him?”

“Oh aye,” said Sprite. “It was a bitter blow.”

The proof of my fourth book has been despatched by Amazon. Squee! If you fancy picking up my first three books, hit the links below.

London Underground

She ran onto the escalator, looking down behind her. It stopped at the bottom of the stairs, watching her.

Its short body, awkward arms and legs. It watched her as she rode upwards, to the street, to freedom. It sniffed the air, closing its clear white eyes. She was convinced they could smell her blood. They’d roared into a frenzy when she’d cut her leg running up the tracks.

Nearly there. She looked ahead again and ran up the last few metal steps.

“Sorry,” said the ticket attendant at the top. “They need feeding.”

Crime Bees

LittleFears24 Comments

“New script?” asked Bee.

“Yes,” said Sprite. “Writing a show about two detectives, with a red and white Ford Gran Torino, who solve crimes over the phone.”

“Sounds original,” said Bee. “What’s it called?”

“Star Key and Hash,” replied Sprite.

My next book, Seeking Hydra, will be released soon. If you fancy grabbing my daily tales in paperback for yourself or another Fears fan (just saying, Christmas is coming), hit the links below!

Star Fetish

LittleFears26 Comments

“I used to be a bit kinky,” said Sprite.

“Oh aye?” asked Spectre.

“Yeah,” laughed Sprite. “I used dressing up as peripheral Star Wars characters in bed.”

“Cripes, that’s a kink,” laughed Spectre.

“Mmhmm,” agreed Sprite. “It was a Boba Fettish.”
