The wind blows. The sun shines. Humans die. I’ve seen each of these happen again and again so often they have become like a blur to me over the millennia. still, the breeze is always a nice surprise, the sunshine always pleasant. And I don't really think I am going to die tonight. Not at the hands of the worst serial killer in history. And yet. Just in case. I am Completes to write this down. So that if I fail he won't win. One way or another this ends tonight....


I am the god of truth and I have and will never lie to those that seek my wisdom. Today was no exception when I was asked.


How do you Kill a God...

The sun has gone dim, the stars blink out. And in the inky blackness,
a low howl is growing. all those that hear it rise there hands to the sky, smile
and cheer.

I saw two such unfortunate creatures just a few days ago,

the smiles twisted painfully, there cheers maddened. I would have pitted them

but there is only so much you can pitty something that will kill you if it were faster.

I run most places now...


it was raining the day the sun disappeared, which was a shame for I would have liked to see it go...

on a planet remarkably similar to our own, in size and distance to its small yellow sun.
a small metal traveller deploys twin silken chutes and on what its creators would
consider a beautiful summer day lands with barely a thud.

it quietly celebrates a job well-done, the first-ever trans-solar landing. 

then with a level of surprise a robot should not have, it looks into the unreadable, but intelligent
face of a creature that has just had the terrifying realisation that they may not be

the only intelligent species in the universe...


The sky is screaming, screaming for you.
It should be horrifying, bone-chilling. But the nothingness is inviting.
Will you dance in the starless sky.
Come join us. You hear,
not with your ears.

Come join us...


Once upon a time, a man fell to earth but never hit the ground...


I was 27 when I stopped ageing for good, I guess I'll always be 27...

Kathy lived in a 5 bedroom house, with two brothers, three couples, one old man, one young man, a girl of indeterminate age, two cats, one long haired one short, two dogs a elegant labradoodle and a bitsa, and she wanted to kill them all....

well maybe not the cats...

oh and definitely not the dogs.

The Martian

LOG ENTRY: SOL 6

I’m pretty much fucked. That’s my considered opinion. Fucked. Six days into what should be one of the greatest two months of my life, and it’s turned into a nightmare. I don’t even know who’ll read this. I guess someone will find it eventually. Maybe a hundred years from now. For the record…I didn’t die on Sol 6. Certainly the rest of the crew thought I did, and I can’t blame them. Maybe there’ll be a day of national mourning for me, and my Wikipedia page will say, “Mark Watney is the only human being to have died on Mars.”

Red rising

The first thing you should know about me is I am my father’s son. And when they came for him, I did as he asked. I did not cry. Not when the Society televised the arrest. Not when the Golds tried him. Not when the Grays hanged him. Mother hit me for that. My brother Kieran was supposed to be the stoic one. He was the elder, I the younger. I was supposed to cry. Instead, Kieran bawled like a girl when Little Eo tucked a haemanthus into Father’s left workboot and ran back to her own father’s side. My sister Leanna murmured a lament beside me. I just watched and thought it a shame that he died dancing but without his dancing shoes.

On Mars there is not much gravity. So you have to pull the feet to break the neck. They let the loved ones do it.
