The Mountain at the Edge of Space
The Sidhe. The lost children. Snatched from the arms of mortals for eons and brought to the Mountain to linger for the rest of time. They serve as vessels for the gods – those mysterious, otherworldly beings who know nothing of the flesh, and in their infinite wisdom must take on a physical vessel for part of their existence, in order to understand all life. They dwell in the Mountain; that lonely hunk of rock floating aimlessly through the void. Though their days are often painfully uneventful, on certain occasions they are tasked with recording the names and histories of mortals in the Annals of Eternity. On very rare occasions, this means encountering a species that stands out from all the rest.
When they meet a people with previously unseen power, living in the light of an unknown deity, they take them into their home as friends, allies. They have never known a true enemy. After all, who would dare to challenge the gods?£3.50 -
The Mysterious Death of a UNR Fulbrighter
Jesus’s lifetime and an ever-memorable trip to Nevada, United States of America, seemed to have been a poisoned chalice. Gabrielle’s phone call from the United States Embassy brought unexpected thunderstorm news which added some more reflexive questions in his mind.
Why did Amber keep quiet for all this period? Why was she or her family taking me to court? Why did they not try to listen to me before taking me to court? Did she also say I raped her? Is it her family’s version? Why would she make a call to the rapist if that is what they allege?
As the judge was speaking … I was even more terrified and totally lost ground when I heard the particulars that sexual assault is prosecuted as Category A Felony, which meant I could be potentially deprived of my freedom and be dragged to serve an abysmal life-sentence-imprisonment if I were convicted.

The Mystery of Us
A collection of poems that explores the most ancient of questions: is there a reason for my existence, or am I just an artefact of nature? The animal of us is very clear, but our consciousness appears to be an enigma: a Darwinian survival tool par excellence, but its sense of self leads to feelings of despair and countless fears.
We appear to possess a religious sense that leads us to reach for ideals such as communes, or communism, with frequent violent fervour, as well as religious cults, and organized religion per se – raising the question, why? The poems explore these questions.
Science has been miraculous in its rapid growth and influence in our present culture, to the point of it becoming like religion itself, answering questions of cosmology and affecting human identity and longevity. This raises questions of morality, which underscores the importance of our recognizing our underlying animal nature and never underestimating its influence in even the best of us. The poems address this.

The Narrative
What happens when a child is never told “No”?
What happens when politicians are never told “No”?
What happens when politicians lie, manipulate and trick you into saying “Yes”?
An existence created for the centralisation of absolute power, sold to the masses under the promise of an impossible ideal, elimination of offence of any kind and of any type. Noble in its outset but eventually leaving a personal existence devoid of virtually any meaning.
Leaving places, roads and indeed people without names and the truth hidden and warped for the endless, narcissistic pursuit of unaccountable power, where life itself is of no value to those owning it.
In this existence of total neutrality and equity of outcome for all, a dream tugs at a lost and tired soul, continuously trying to create a spark that ignites the flame of freedom. But where does it come from? What is its meaning? What is this thing called freedom?
Who will stand and fight for that freedom? Who will take on the heart of absolute power, being not only the politicians but The Narrative itself?
It is irrelevant if you believe The Narrative, because like everyone else, you belong to it…
