The Scouts

Jack and the Girl

This was originally written as a 7-minute audiodrama for a class I took in script writing earlier this summer. I liked it so much that I decided to adapt to prose.

The Feeders

Author note: It's been a while since I've written a short story in just one sitting, so I challenged myself to write a story over the duration of one album.

Interception Chapter 2

Saz sat on the shredded couch, a cup of herbal tea with a splash of laze mixed in to calm his mind and help with the unwinding. "The more stress you put on the connections, the longer it takes."

He watched as photons of indistinguishable origins warped before his eyes, a streak of red here, a dash of blue there, perhaps a questionable dosage of x-rays or … Continue reading Interception Chapter 1 →
