Fiction

Published in Issue 10 of Neometropolis.

  • Thunder Road - From the towers of the corporate castellum - scraping the sky like the chrome-coloured nails of a whore - it was possible to gaze steeply down on to the squat mechanistic shapes of the city’s clubs and malls. They crouched inside the boundary of the outer ramparts, just close enough to the outside to taste the sewage and campfire stench of the barrio.

  • Old Gods - "Are you sure you know what you are doing, boy?" asked Grim. "That sounded like a challenge."

    "You know how that goes," said Luka. "It’s traditional."

    "Three challenges," said Ox, joining Luka at the bar and waving his empty pint glass in Andy’s direction. "One against each of us."

  • The Fundamentals - Gwen stood by the balustrade, above the mansion’s main entrance, scowling in the direction of the aircab. She wouldn’t be lonely and miserable for long, I thought; Lionel was standing just inside the shadow of the velvet drapes, ready to alleviate at least one, maybe both, of her symptoms.

    I felt nauseous.

  • "Another Word for Love". - I wait for her. Forty one million kilometres from home, I can go no further. I travelled with her, out of love; but the last few hundred kilometres proved too much.
