Riley The Dwarf Lantern Shark
Can you keep an eye on my car, please, mate? he said to the Sainsburys security guard. I’ll only be a few minutes. And The Blood was drawn; Riley smelt it from all the way on the other side of town. He started to make his way there. Riley was a dwarf lantern shark, roughly the size of a human hand. Today, he was hungry. He hadn’t feasted in three days now. For a shark normally as prolific as him, this was a very long time.

The Spooky
The Spooky: Beacon The beacon stood tall and pleased, sticking out into the ocean like an encouraging sign in obscurity. It had been there as far back as anybody could recollect, directing boats securely to shore and advance notice them of the deceptive rocks that lay just underneath the outer layer of the water.

A Writer’s Life
Here I am, pacing around the room like a maniac. Nothing was coming in. Nothing! A wall had etched its way into my brain. I was trapped! Just when I think I've seen a light of inspiration, it dies down and never returns. The darkness has been my companion, my very best friend. I ruffle my hair and stare at my laptop with a blank expression, arms crossed and brows knitted in frustration. Anger boils within me as a millionth heavy sigh escapes my lips. I stretch and walk around the house to know if anything will inspire me. Yet, my brain is blank. I feel nothing. Except for the wall stopping me from escaping. I retire to my room again and hit my leg on the bed in anger, but I don't feel the pain. The DARKNESS is the pain. I'm restless and wish someone will come to rescue me.
