Some say time is a river that flows swiftly in one direction, others claim it turns like a giant wheel, doomed to endlessly repeat. I do not know if either is true, or if it is something else altogether. I have been cursed and blessed with the ability to see moments of time out of their order, sometimes forward, sometimes back, rarely current. When I was young it made me rich and powerful,

As promised at the end of my season review, this is my personal review of all players on our list for season 2006 along with whether I think they’ll be kept, delisted or traded. This is probably a lot more subjective than the team’s season review as personal bias creeps in a lot easier. Also, individual moments of brilliance remain in the mind longer than perhaps consistent performances. I

So, I'm an avid Bombers fan. In fact I'm the kind of fan who seems to enjoy the rough times more than the good times. I remember being bored in 2000, we had such an awesome team that winning was just what we did and the premiership was always going to be ours. At least that's the way it felt at the time, there was no way we'd let 1999 repeat. 2001 was by far and away a much more interesting

'Cos knobbins went to the effort of hassling me, here's one of the aforementioned short stories that have been lying around in a half complete state. This still isn't complete... long way to go, but it's further along than most of the others.I've been writing a lot of stuff about Amon's people the Daelentii recently, trying to get a better handle on their national psyche. Thought it might be

Hey, a very short post that I had a sudden urge to write. Sorry for the complete lack of new stories recently. I'm a long way from done on Amon (OMG shutup Dave :P), but that's a pretty involved story with a lot of elements, so I need time to figure out how I want to progress it. And time is something I'm a little short on at the moment ;). I've been considering re-writing the whole thing in a

OK here's part IV of the Amon story. You may notice a few inconsistencies with earlier posts, I've changed some things in my file, but haven't gone back and edited the posts. My apologies for the incongruity. I will go back and re-post earlier entries at some point in the future :) “Fifty. Good Amon.” Ramestan’s voice echoed around the large training yard as his chin touched the top of

OK, I started writing this not knowing where the hell I was going with it... and I didn't manage to figure it out once I was into it either. So, it ends kind of gracelessly. Hope you like it anyways.Amon part IV is almost done, will be up in the near future.

I apologise in advance for this next installment, I had a lot of trouble writing it, it felt very awkward. However it needs to be said for the story to continue as I want it to, so had to be done! hope you enjoy it even if I'm not 100% satisfied with it.As always, constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.------------------------------------------------------------------- “Forty-nine

The vaunted throne room was packed with courtiers; supposedly celebrating his crowning. Reality was they would cheer his successor tomorrow just as hard if he died today. He detested the parasites, but the game must be played. The intricate gold-plated doors to the throne room swung majestically open, then closed as six imperial guards marched the prisoner towards the throne. Small

Here's the beginnings of a new story I'm working on at the moment, hope you like it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The prisoner stood defiantly triumphant as the crowd chanted for his death, five armed gladiators scattered around him, all unconscious.

OK, this is a short story I started, based off an old D&D character of mine. I have a fair bit to say about him at some point or another, but I'm struggling for inspiration currently. Here it is in it's very short glory ;) Thud… thud… thud-thud… His blood roared in his ears. His heart reverberated throughout his body, drowning out the sound of the crowd, the scrape of feet in the sand,

So, I have to admit to being generally anti-blogging. Don't get me wrong, some of them are quite interesting... things like websnark etc.But I think people who share private details of their life online are just a teensy bit silly. So, there won't be any of that here.The reason I'm creating this blog is mainly to post short stories I write. I'd love to actually be a writer one day, but I'm way

When I was a younger man, I was quite religious. I never had faith as such, but I desperately wanted to believe. People who honestly believed seemed so much more content with their lives than I was… and there was that wonderful sense of belonging that comes for so many with religion. As it became apparent to me that Christianity just wasn’t going to hold me, I began to look at some of the
