The Underwood Dragon
Lilly is on school holidays; she went camping with her parents. She is sitting in her new Landcruiser, her parents assume there is enough space inside the Landcruiser to sleep and eat. But Lilly knows there's not enough space in the car. Lilly has a dog named Jeffy. He is coming to camp. Her brother Jordan does not want to come because Jeffy licks him and then Jeffy’s saliva comes out of his mouth and dribbles on Jordan's pants. I know that is a bit disgusting anyway, but Lilly’s parents decided that they were going to Underwood Island. In stories and news Lilly heard there are volcanoes, which are big and black. It has fire in it. Lilly said she is not scared of volcanoes if they do not erupt during my school holidays.

Squirrel
I’m standing in the field, only this time it’s spring. There’s small green shoots all over the place making their way through last year’s dead growth. The breeze flicks my hair across my face and the sun warms my bare toes. There are fluffy clouds slowly making their way across the sky.

Vampire Hunters
So now you know how my brother and I became vampires. However, you still don't know why we hunt them down and kill demons. Actually, that story is quite simple. It was a brisk spring morning forty-nine years after the night our mother was killed by Jedadiah. We were now Roman soldiers and very high rankings ones at that. We were Centurions, we were over two different Centuria of course. However, we were in the same legion. I believe you do know the story of the crucifixion of the Messiah. How two Roman soldiers nailed Him to the cross and hoisted it up into the hole as his body jolted in pain. Yeah, those two soldiers were my brother and I.

A Web of Lies
Leon was the lead singer in a Goth band called 'The Faulted' during the late 1980's and early 90's. The group gigged in most of the 'alternative' clubs in South Africa, mostly situated in Johannesburg and to a lesser extent in Pretoria. These had such provocative names as 'The Doors' - named after one of the iconic bands of the 60's and 70's - Alcatraz, and Idols.
