I often fantasize about letting go, to be one who can leave the act, and carry through. I often fantasize about running away from all the places sharp to the touch, from all the people who take too much. I often fantasize about the way out where no eyes see blinking although they may still … Continue reading Fantasy (a poem)

Argnierre’s Lament (a song, 2021)
Argnierre's Lament (a song) Yon summer hills ‘round which stand our golden grasses, They twirl, they fall, and lie still upon the ground. The wind she howls the blades down into the valley, She cuts across the waves like a storm on the sea. ~ Their flags were flown all snapping around in the thunder, … Continue reading Argnierre’s Lament (a song, 2021)
Vessels of Veyrath – Part 2: Returning
With a thick finger, Svenne jabbed at the north of Freelandr. “Inquisitors been comin’ in all along the northeastern border with Rendt, mostly the foothills so far. Nobody knows where they are holin’ up, but it ain’t hard to tell where they’re goin’. Spearbury . . .” She traced her way south. “Grayridge, Suntusk—

Hollow Face of Straw (dream / a poem, 2018)
Hollow Face of Straw (dream / a poem) We burned it all, the golden straw, A city of wicker and flame. All men they fell down to the earth, Ash having lost its name. ~ With a lone curse descended, His toes turned claw and fin. A life ashore is ended, Amongst the murk therein. … Continue reading Hollow Face of Straw (dream / a poem, 2018)
Vessels of Veyrath: Ch.0 – Butter Knife (pilot / a short story, 2017)
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.

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)
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.

His sight traveled billions of times … Continue reading Lantham’s Vision (a very short story, 2020)
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)
