The Drake Infraction
Here’s a bit of dark tale I wrote for a mirror themed monthly writing competition. Obviously, mirrors are a well-travelled theme in dark fiction and I think it’s a tricky one to write something really original. So instead, I’ve chosen to reflect some of the more common motifs. (~3745 words).
Fiction
Memories so Sweet
This was originally written for the Blogbattler’s January 2020 writing prompt ‘bucket’. In the end, I went with a different story as I had several challenges with this one. It started as an exercise in free writing I’ll let you try and guess which bits those were 😉 Anyway, hopefully, I’ve managed to edit it into something that might make sense. It’s still a little bit odd, even by my standards. (~1000 words)
Fiction
Spirit Light
This one is a bit of a failed story. It originally started as a writing prompt, but I blew right through the word limit and it all went a bit off-piste. Rather than bin it, given that it’s the Halloween season I thought I would finish it (1046 words).
Fiction
White Rabbit
This is is my entry for the October 2019 Blog Battle. Be sure to check out the other entries. This month’s challenge is to write a story incorporating the idea of a “clone” in a thousand words, more or less. A little more (~1070 words) in my case.

One for Sorrow
This week’s photo writing prompt courtesy of Sue Vincent’s fun #writephoto challenge is entitled “harbinger”.
Fiction
Vengeful Scapegoat
This week’s photo writing prompt courtesy of Sue Vincent’s brilliant #writephoto challenge is entitled simply “mirror”. Be careful when you go looking for a scapegoat.

Within the Tors
Another week, another writing prompt courtesy of Sue Vincent’s #writephoto – Within. What lays within the rocky peeks?
