Bill Forgo: Part 2 – All Ears

He couldn’t believe it — all the hard work was possibly going to pay off; it seemed that someone who had been employed to start skimming through the slushpiles had come across something of his that he had forgotten about. It was something he had written in that period when he had been unable to [...]

Grace Favour – Part 1: Wondering Aloud

She was guesswork — that was how she would describe herself; every success and every failure came to her the same way. She supposed it was the same with everyone at the end of the day but she felt that she had a much healthier relationship with the vagaries of chance than most people. Most [...]

Peter Courtier – Part 1: Manners Maketh A Man

He prided himself on having good manners — he was known for it; it was his stock in trade. He had just published a small book on etiquette to some acclaim. It was strange to him that something which should be the backbone of civilised society was considered a niche market; that to him indicated [...]

Julie Seer: Part 1 – Eye Eye

She wasn’t shy about letting people know that she knew where everything was going and that she knew where everything should have gone instead. Cassandras ran around telling people about all the woes that were to be visited on them; Julies, so it seemed, sat there looking smug and told you after the fact what [...]

Bethann Vetiver: Part 1 – Familiar

Full moon tonight — she could feel it in her blood. She had to check the calendar but she knew she was right. She looked over at the toad that was sat near her laptop — did he nod his head? She wasn’t entirely sure — Arnold had been in a bit of a grump [...]

John Doe: Part 1: Trace

He touched the mirror, leaned in closer, peered into his own eye, looking at the tech disguised as floaters in the white. He smiled, a ceramic toothed smile — functional and untraceable; they had no makers mark on them. Nothing on him had anything identifiable. He was careful; more careful now than he had ever [...]

Cyan Rip: Part 1 – Strings

Every single thing in this life was bound by some kind of strings — from the smallest decision to the highest dimension: strings and nothing but. It got tiresome. He found that the only way to master all of these threads that ran through his life was to play the guitar — seek out the [...]

Cody Spicer: Part 1 – Parts

Cody Spicer kept his cock in a pickle jar floating in pickling vinegar. He had performed a peotomy on himself in lieu of the gender reassignment surgery that they were making him suffer to be eligible for. So, Cody Spicer was still a pre-op tranny — he had a cock but no cunt and they [...]

Gillian Nest: Part 1 – Alone

She was free again. Well, free in the sense that she was under the weight of crushing loneliness since her husband had passed over and her kids had all flown. She had picked up the novel again and she was trying to find comfort in the lives of the characters that she was crafting from [...]

Bill Forgo: Part 1 – Doodles

He had some ideas. He had been on the phone all morning speaking to various people, trying to float various ideas that he thought were real money-spinners but that they seemed to lack the vision to appreciate. The inside of his cheek was painful where he had been chewing it, as were his fingers which [...]
