The Whining
Years ago I got an offer to be the caretaker
Of the beautiful Overshook Hotel during the winter
So that October I packed up my wife and children
My laptop, some paper and my trusty old printer
On the drive up I kept thinking about my poetry
I could write and record my voice on cassette
But the kids started with the whining all the way up
Constantly asking “dad, dad, are we there yet?”
We had the entire hotel to ourselves
I could finally have some peace and quiet
I’d have a great time spittin’ rhymes

The Jesus Clock
a ghost story
Jonathan was visiting his sister. She lived in a flat in what had once been a large family home, and then a guest house catering to families taking their holidays by the sea in the 1950s. Now it was just a rather shabby block of flats, the sort of place with greying carpet in the hall and bills piled up for all to see on a table by the front door.
Jonathan was worried about his sister. Her name was Janet and she collected things, obsessively, accruing them from charity shops. She was what was once described as "soft in the head"; Jonathan wasn't...

The Bloodstone
One fine Summers day
A young girl, aged about eight
Went home, and said to her mother
That she had decided to become invisible
And within a blink of an eye
She disappeared!
Quite naturally
The young girls mother
Was horrified
As she couldn't of imagined
Even in her wildest nightmares
For the briefest moment, of even one solitary second
That her daughter, would literally disappear
Her daughter, meanwhile
Saw this as a great opportunity
To tease her mother
By playing hide, and seek
Without actually telling her ...

SCRIPT:
The other night, I lay beside the dead. And the undeniable truth—that I have died. The heart that beats within this cage is no illusion. But what “life” courses from within it is vision only. A dream. I grow weary of this dream and the dreamers that obstruct my hope of wakening. To find myself awake in a home I no longer fully believe was ever mine. The smiling man said that it will not last forever. I know that is a lie. They will keep me here. Forever a...

When the portal opened I arrived at an abandoned city
Though the skies were blue there was not a soul in sight
I teleported about one hundred miles away into the hills
The braces indicated that there was radiation at these sites
I went through several cities until I found some human life
But I could see small slums and shanties of people everywhere ...

The Shack in the Woods
A little boy wondered into the green woods
Not too far away from the church picnic grounds
For on this Easter egg hunt he wanted all the goods
So he thought he would have to go beyond the bounds
He came upon an old wooden crooked shack
“This is where I might find that egg laying hare”
Thinking this was a special place he never looked back
But the boy didn’t understand this was a witch’s lair
A scraggly old looking woman came outside
And saw the boy much to her surprise and delight
The little boy stared right back at her...

Reflections of Eternal Torment
True! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The events that have unfolded before me are beyond reason and comprehension of any sane mind. It all started on a fateful night when I was alone in my room. I looked into the mirror, and that’s when I saw it - my reflection, with an unnaturally large and wicked grin. It was a grin that stretched from ear to ear and looked as though it was carved on the face of the devil himself. I tried to look away, but I couldn't.
Then, before I knew it, I was grabbed and pulled into the...

A Universe Removed
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.
But someone did. Or, some thing did. It heard us screaming out into the void for answers. It listened to us casting our calls out to see if we were alone in the vast emptiness of the universe and it decided to respond.
At first, the only things to notice were the telescopes and observatories. They sent back data the deep-space and intergalactic dust was moving at a rate that just did not make sense. Things were moving and transforming before our eyes on time-scales that were alien and dangerous. The...

Lone Worker
a ghost story
According to the centre's "lone worker" policy, Michael shouldn't have even been there.
He worked for a car insurance company, enforcing the policies of various brands. (Though the company called him an "emergency responder", he couldn't think of many 999 operators required to bully drivers for insurance information before rescuing them and their children from a busy layby.) Of a night, it was normally just him and four other workers in the centre. Any less and the calls were re-routed elsewhere. Certainly, no one was officially allowed to be alone in...

Halloween Tales II: The Curse Of Valentina
There was once a beautiful, young girl who had long black hair down to her back with fair skin and big golden colored eyes with full rosy colored lips and full round hips as her name was Valentina.
She was an Italian beauty that was admired and also envied by many.
It could be for her body or it could be for her sweet and soft, gentle nature that’s within her aura;
Sworn to celibacy till marriage she is forced to wear a chastity belt till her parents find their ideal suitor for her to marry.
But deep down inside something in her was hidden, something dark that was ready to...

He went to costume party for Halloween
Dressed like Disco Stu to dance and be seen
When over by the drinks and food he saw the girl for his dreams
She was dressed as a sexy ghoul
Making all the guys at the party drool
While she was stuffing her face with some tasty franks and beans
He boogied to the music down her way
Grooving to the beat with swag to prey
She was a cutie with a booty and tonight he was going to take a chance
Then he saw she had some ginormous bewbs
While the dudes there just looked...
