Bio

I started writing because, essentially, I don't much care for the real world and prefer to spend as little time there as possible.

The Conclave

Miners in the Dark
Digging for coal is a dangerous endeavour, made more so by the greed and avarice of mine owners. Many of whom consider themselves the equal, or superior, of their miners in grit and determination although, obviously, there is not a one of them who would deign to so much as pick up a shovel.

Chance & Choice
Pablo was always awake before his alarm went off. It was a habit long burned into his mind; a side effect of when his wife worked night shifts and he didn’t want the alarm to wake her when he got up for work. Every morning, just before he rolled over, he wondered if she was still asleep.
