This story is a short that I wrote in an hour based off of a story prompt that came to me about a year ago. I have not yet had the time to critique it, so it is therefore probably riddled with problems. Feel free to point these out to me! I also experimented with a new style in this story. Any thoughts on it would also be very appreciated :) "My name is Jessica Royale. I am sixteen years old. And I am sick." Those three sentences haunt Jessica's life as she faces the unexplainable: herself.

A Story of Wishes

He is the one who always finishes the job even if his client dies in the process.

A collection of paranormal, horror and fantasy short stories woven around old legends, odd characters, the occasional werewolf and the darkness within, some of which have been published or picked up the odd award. There are things you cannot see unless they want to be seen, and some legends linger on despite the modern world. A Gift in the Dark is a compilation of short works, many based around old myths and legends, and starts with a tale of a miner's descent into madness, history and legend, drifts through darkness, past a retelling of Red Riding Hood, up a crane, and along to the end of the world.

Writers have to get their characters from somewhere. Sometimes it's just not as simple as making them up.

Garret Daniels meets a mysterious man calling himself The Weeper. He embarks upon a quest and things steadily become stranger and stranger...

Very short poem, perhaps laced with a bite of sarcasm, on the attitudes that lead to extinction.
