Green
The latest instalment in the Colour Series. “How am I supposed to live on this single stupid planet for the rest of my life?” My own voice, roaring so loudly that it seemed to shake the very foundations of my home, replayed in my head. The force of the question made my stomach twist—but it … Continue reading Green
Doomsday
This was entered into a short story competition, and while it didn’t win, I still had lots of fun writing it so I wanted to share! The story had to involve someone randomly getting $20,000.

Before I even started … Continue reading How To Do a Draft Two
Purple
The first in a new series of stories each inspired by a different colour! The sun rose in hues of violet that fateful morning.
