Short Stories

Beyond Sapiens
Noel Carroll
I hate putting this down on electronic paper because, in doing so, I concede failure for the first time in my short life. At the time of this recording, I am nineteen years old. I suppose I should also state that I am the biological mother of hundreds of children, all under two years of age.

In the Blink of an Eye
D.J. Burnham
In the world of modern commerce and business, Brent Black was unequalled. He was the Prince of Exploitation and the King of Opportunity. Then, his luck changed…

In The Land of Lexykon Corp.
Kathleen Vesi

Terry Dartnall
He was hitching on the Einfart, the feed-in road. It's illegal, but everyone does it. The cops clear away the travellers but they reappear as soon as the cops have gone. He was wearing jeans and a T-shirt and he looked incongruous, standing there in the sleet and rain. He had a fuzzy beard that sparkled with rainwater. That should have given me a presentiment, but it didn’t. We’d come a long way that morning and we were tired.
