Short Fiction

I’ve written a few short stories in recent years, and I’d like to write more. Keep a weather eye out. Here’s the story so far.

The Light In The Trees

A hermit in a cave, a girl who works in a jewellery shop: what does she keep seeing, and how does he know before she tells him? 2020.

 

Destroying Angel

What an old man sees far out on the sands of Morecambe Bay may remake or destroy him, if there is a difference. 2018.

The Basilisk

An old-fashioned exchange of letters between an uncle and his niece suggests that something is very wrong on the Internet. 2020.

 

Ice

A broken relationship, a broken ice sheet, goldfinches, a blue river. What would it mean for it all to just melt away? 2016.

Goibert Of The Moon

The legend of the dancing hare of Salisbury Plain is an old wives’ tale from a less educated age … in’t it? 2019.
