Without aim, nor reason, we travel on

Tags: , ,

Pinpricks of distant light fall upon the earth and the moon. This light is millions, billions of years old.

Beware the scam

I and my good friends once owned a domain. It was a nifty domain (think it cost us $30US for a year at the time). It was for a street magazine I’d conceived on the flight back to OZ from the UK.
We let it go. There simply wasn’t the time to keep the magazine going [...]

cause-to-effect (draft01)

‘Time is linear to us,’ siad Professor Tinwhistle. ‘It’s simple cause-to-effect. And that’s easy for us to deal with. But Time isn’t. Time is like space, it exists. You can travel up and down, backwards and forwards…’
The professor giggled slightly, then became very calm.
‘You must think me mad.’

Famous last words…

Yesterday I made an astonishing (at least to me) announcement:
Just realised I’m only 4 or 5 stories from the end of book 2. OMFG…

πεποίθηση

(belief)
[Translation begins]
Belief… so strange.
Is religion belief? Or belief religion?
I don’t understand.
They used their belief as a weapon, used it as a justification to kill, to hurt… They believed they were better, had the right… to…
I didn’t know how to stop them. There was… something holding me back; fear I think and a feeling of isolation.

2-13: Tea and cake

Tags: , , ,

He woke with a killer headache and instinctively felt between his legs.
Opening his eyes, Donnie Penfolde, now sure of who he was, frowned at the wall before him.
There was movement overhead and he rolled onto his back as a couple of kids walked over the top.
Right.
A coffee shop, its name written in some kind of [...]

αρχή

(beginning)
Beyond the canopy of the trees, the sky was a dark, dark blue, clouds as floating silhouettes.
Birds twittered and flocked in the trees, and below them, the dark trunks were a strangely comforting sight to the person standing among them.
They stared at the sky and the stars beyond the atmosphere, and spoke.
‘Where are you?’

Site makeover

As regulars to the site can possibly, tell, we’ve got a new look for the site now.
This came-about because — as one good friend mentioned — the site looked great but it wasn’t easy to work-out what was content and what was sidebar stuff.
Hence the use of the new site design, which I must say [...]
