A quick note from the author: This story, while one of my oldest works, has inspired me to create a larger continuum around the characters, loosely based off the events from this pilot. I have done some outlining for the overarching story and characters, and I have gotten some progress on writing the first chapter(s). … Continue reading Vessels of Veyrath: Ch.0 – Butter Knife (pilot / a short story, 2017)

The Island (a short story, 2017)
The Island (a short story) “Excuse me, Ma’am?” Behind the large desk at the other end of the room, leafing through an intimidatingly large pile of reports and other assorted sheets on a holodeck, was a stiff-looking woman in her early forties. She wore a rather extravagant Armani pant-suit, with her long brownish-gold hair tied … Continue reading The Island (a short story, 2017)
The First Daughter (a short story, 2019)
The First Daughter (a short story) There were neither colors nor sounds. No inspiration to ponder or imagine. Thus, it was in nothing and nowhere that she waited. There was time, but no inklings of its passing. There was she, but no inklings of herself. For eternity in that nothing she waited. Yet, all seemed … Continue reading The First Daughter (a short story, 2019)
Black Mantle (a short story, 2018)
Black Mantle (a short story) Tristan ran his fingertips over her legs once more, his touch lingering as he savored the texture of Elizabeth’s skin. She hadn’t been able to shave the past two days, so it wasn’t quite smooth, but it wasn’t so bristly that it turned him away from the sensation. More enticing … Continue reading Black Mantle (a short story, 2018)
You Won’t Need This (a short story, 2017)
You Won't Need This (a short story) The air in the blue-block waxed thicker with the scent of serenity. The heaviness of it was almost suffocating. My hands busily scrawled away at a leaf of parchment, using a strange carbon-tool I’d found some time ago. There was something eating at me. Sleeping underneath the mist … Continue reading You Won’t Need This (a short story, 2017)
Lantham’s Vision (a very short story, 2020)
The Vision (a very short story) Lantham sat as still as a stone, his soul tapped. Reaching across the space between dimensions, his perception was far gone. It was flying through open panoramas of unfamiliar star systems and worlds across the infinite and ever multiplying planes of the cosmos. His sight traveled billions of times … Continue reading Lantham’s Vision (a very short story, 2020)
The Trevor James Case Files: Interview #1 (a short story, 2018)
The Trevor James Case Files: Interview #1 (a short story) “Is it on? Is the microphone working?” Standing behind the tripod, Derrick silently sent back a thumbs up. The awkwardly large black headset made the young man’s intrinsic strangeness all the more prevalent. Derrick removed his left headphone to hear both the audio feed and … Continue reading The Trevor James Case Files: Interview #1 (a short story, 2018)
Rats of Bain (a short story, 2014)
Rats of Bain (a short story) How long have I been here? As I asked myself this question, I was beset by a sinking feeling. This had to be the question I asked myself the most. Or perhaps that title would belong to: ‘How many times have I asked myself this?’ My mind so loves … Continue reading Rats of Bain (a short story, 2014)
