My Round Four entry for the UWSClub Writing Challenge. The prompt was "humanity", and we were supposed to write a story based on something we were deeply in touch with, as well as include three out of eight pictures. I chose to write about how seemingly tiny and insignificant things we do (or others do for us) can have a huge impact. Over the last few years in my own life especially, I have come to realize just how much those very small things can mean. For the judges, the pictures I used in the order that I used them: #6- Tiger swimming in algae, #7- attatched cottages on a small lane next to a stream, #8- faceless plastic dolls in a factory, #5- leaping dancer.

Well the title says it all.

We were rockin the crowd like the kick ass rock band we are. Till we tried to play our new song "Grueling Death". Thats when the show went downhill in a hurry.

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.

Romance / SciFi / Short Story - The Blush, something that happens to Peter Webb every time he meets a girl, but particularly Helen next door. Will she ever take him seriously, or will something unexpected come between them? A short romance with a little SF twist...

So you think you're a daddy's girl? Meet Lyndie. Her story twists the figurative meaning of 'Daddy's girl' and puts it on a whole new level. An innocent girl, robbed of her innocence, by the man she calls 'Daddy'.

This is what comes of having too much sugar and access to word.
