Fiction Stories

A story in the world of curious devices and their unusual affects.
It's not easy when you're fifteen, your sister is seventeen, and you come home from town to find her in the garden, in her bikini, sunbathing. "What did you buy?" she asks. "This," he says, showing her a curious mechanical Thing he'd found in a charity shop. And from there all kinds of revelations follow... A coming-of-age story with a few twists along the way. NB: some codes only apply late on, so don't let the codes fool you into thinking everying starts to happen right from the get-go.

Two ordinary suburban wives, Mary and Lisa, both 32, married with young children, have let the wild spark of their youth fade under the weight of routine, motherhood, and predictable marriages. One December afternoon at Starbucks, over lattes and nostalgia for midnight skinny-dipping and reckless adventures, they dare each other to reclaim that fire. The challenge is simple, secret, and dangerously addictive.

Sucking It Up is a companion story for In It For Life (the sequel to Prison Island). For people who have already read my two other stories in the same universe, published here, on SOL, it's about Mouse's life in the army, how he got to know captain Reynolds and other people. There will be some intersections with the main storyline from In It For Life, but it will be mainly about Mouse and how he uses his mouth to make friends while serving the country.
