Hits 752 | Last Modified I have what would be described as a love-hate relationship with tobacco. Article  A Mound of White Bones
Hits 824 | Last Modified Over the purple mountains to the east lies a forest where nobody ever goes. Nobody goes to the forest not because of wild creatures or monsters, but simply because no one knows that it is there. Except for an old, eccentric man and his young son, and even he found it by accident. Article  Animals
Hits 729 | Last Modified Written in Mexico during insanity-inducing boredom Article Back Street Bar Hits 1367 | Last Modified So I sat, alone, at the end of the bar, staring across the room to where some Canadians were laughing, screaming, and generally flirting with the off-duty strippers.

Article FPA Screenplay Hits 802 | Last Modified A forgotten screenplay for a book that was never finished. it was too complex for a first book, I think. Article  Grubs whores and landmines
Hits 1002 | Last Modified About an hour inside Cambodia we stopped at a roadside establishment that had been spawned simply to service tourists en route to Siem Reap from the border. The staff inside happily accepted any currency and provided change in tattered Cambodian Reals, which resulted in a lot of confused looking tourists - Reals are worth about 3,900 to the US dollar, so even if people wanted to check their change, they had a hard time because most of them had handed over Thai baht in the first place. After a few weeks in Cambodia, you either become an expert in tri-currency conversion, or lose a lot of cash. Article  Half-man, half-biscuit
Hits 2902 | Last Modified One of the most popular types of monster throughout history has been the half-man, half-something-else. A good examples of a scary half-men creatures are the werewolf (half-man, half-wolf), minotaur (half-man, half bull) and zombie. Zombie? I hear you cry. Yes - half-man, half-dead. On the whole it seems like taking half of a man away and adding half of something else creates an evil entity, bent on death and destruction. There are notable exceptions though, which I'll talk about in a moment. News  Journals

Hits 790 | Last Modified A short story written for a java game I wrote some years ago. Article  Memories between 4 and 6
Hits 788 | Last Modified My very first memory in life is a lie. I'm about 3 years old and we've just arrived at my Grandmother's house, it is sunny and I'm wearing shorts and a striped T-shirt. My Grandmother is waiting on her lawn to meet us with our dog - a large Irish Setter called Finbar. Finbar is excited to see us and runs over to us, almost knocking me over, then licking my face with joy. Article  Risk
Hits 872 | Last Modified I'm not terribly scared of electrical storms, I was never traumatised as a child by stories of giants in the clouds being angry, or any other such nonsense. During thunder and lightning I like to go outside, to the top of the nearest hill and watch the show. I don't think being hit is very likely. Article  Shouting
Hits 730 | Last Modified A random story I found on my hard drive recently, it was prefixed with: "I lived in Montreal for a couple of years a while ago. Nice place, distinct lack of crime and any rough edges" Article  Sleep
Hits 852 | Last Modified An article about sleep that I wrote, re-found recently on my hard-drive. Article Suzy's Bar, Takasaki Hits 2397 | Last Modified Ah, the memories. This was a bar in Takasaki, where I used to drink in 1996/1997. Article  The Bus Game
Hits 1054 | Last Modified Unsure when, or why, this was written Article  The Crooked Penny Inn
Hits 1119 | Last Modified The candles burned low in the Crooked Penny Inn. The four figures huddled around a beer stained table concentrated upon the tiles in front of them. The game was known as Lucky Mary in these parts and many a man had lost a fortune on the turn of a not so lucky tile. Halgar Blacktooth frowned deeply as he looked again at the images of the four winds from the east in his hand, this was a good hand, but his final tile, the six of goblins which he had just picked up, didn't help at all.

Hits 904 | Last Modified So we're walking through the streets in the rain. I'm upset already as we spent a valuable 30 minutes of drinking time watching some god-awful move-to-spain-and-fix-up-an-old-house programme. The rain really doesn't improve our moods as we splash through puddles and scowl into the wind. Article  The Hilton Hotel, In East Croydon, England
Hits 1866 | Last Modified My idea was to return to the hotel and sip a Martini and smoke a cigarette before retiring. I was dismayed to find that there was a large Xmas party occurring, and so the bar was rather busy, the staff looked harassed. Article  The Quest for Hashish
Hits 1724 | Last Modified I met a strange man a few nights ago in a downtown bar - strange mainly because he seemed to be wearing home-made clothes and make-up. During the course of our chit-chat conversation I happened to ask him what he did for a living. 'I grow grass.' He said. Article  Thirty-One
