Taking Attendance

I’m a trainee teacher in an “underprivileged” area, and every Friday, I go to sit in a refurbished conference room just off of the campus of the school, walled in by hedges and new plaster, with fascia windows that point skyward so we can let in the sunlight but not see the suburbs surrounding the building. The children we teach all live within two miles; so do the majority of the city’s drug dealers, bookmakers offices and launderettes. But our view is Bright Blue, not Broken Britain. Every Friday we sit in this room, and we talk about ‘things affecting kids nowadays’. It’s usually from an angle of

That Part of London

Luke Sanderson was not a clever man; or at least, that's what he'd always been told. Of course, he had a different kind of wit about him – it takes a special sort of man to give directions through his city via off licenses, bars and police stations. He knew the funeral parlours in this part of town by name, and had seen twelve of his friends die; one for each year he'd spent in school. If he was rich, people would have likened his personality to Charles Bukowski, not that that was a compliment in any shape or form – he just like the smell of liquor on his own breath talked as much and as fast as he could to compensate for that. S

Like Fire

I've watched the sunrise four times in the past three years. It's never a small occasion. The first sunset I can remember watching was drowned in oak and cork; it smelled of dust and gravel. Golf courses keep their lawns well cut, so I wasn't coated in dew, but my feet were bare and walking through glass tends to make everything ache. I had two bottles with me, one I emptied into the grass and the other I emptied into my gullet; I suppose it was a solid decision, the whiskey was only a temporary poison. I didn't have long to wait, a sunrise in summer isn't something you have to put effort into chasing. I put effort into the second. I told y

Come What May

I like grass. Simple statement, I know. I'm not usually one for keeping things simple, but when I'm here, and you might be, I feel speaking my mind is a little less cluttered. It's not like anyone hears me, anyway; muttering away to myself under the trees, bathed in the scent of the new daffodils and the low thrum of the bees. You could call it cliché, but a summer for someone who rarely sees sunlight is a commodity as rare as love – almost just as cherished. A summer with a sprinkle of love, however, is gold. We can eat that peppered steak on the crumbling bench, share a vanilla float in the dusk heat or count the different type

Whiskey Laden Dreams

Bitter eyes and tears might taint a drink, but sitting in this bar alone with your stool pulled out next to me, and the Martini poured regardless of your presence still brings a smile to my face; despite the taste. I'm having a whiskey myself; dry. Yes, I know I don't drink, but every once in a while you need whiskey to solve an intricate problem, and mine is the distinct lack of alcohol in my life. There are people everywhere and it amazes me how none of them are you, from the woman in the black dress coming down the stairs to the signing couple in the corner, laughing silently. They're not you at all, and that's what's amazing – in an

The Writer

A golden eclipse was emblazoned upon the back of his eyelids. The crisp, morning light, an event horizon on the surface of his vision. He found it so peaceful to lie here; watching the fire dance on the skin of his eyes, to see the distortion such a simple veneer could have on life. Everything was different depending on perspective. A certain paradigm is an important thing; it discerns life or death, true or false, love or hate. A simple problem can be interpreted, and solved, in several different ways. Untying the Gordian Knot is either a complex puzzle or a simple chopping manoeuvre. John Tullock admired and cherished this, as it meant in

My Bio

I'm a prose and non-fiction writer specialising in historical and sociological essays (which I don't post here) and horror, fantasy and whimsy (which I might). I was a Director over at theWrittenRevolution and despite no longer being a member of the admin team, I'd strongly recommend you get involved in the community over there and the Literature community on dA in general.

I don't turn up to deviantArt all that much anymore, but can be found on my tumblr which is below. I am making a conscious effort to appear more, however.

I'm always willing to offer a critique on writing pieces only, my preference is prose but I can do poetry. I'm sorry, but visual arts really aren't my specialism and if I were to attempt it I may do more harm than good. Those who'd like me to critique their piece, send me a note with a thumbnail and any specific areas if you have any. I can do them in comments or in the official critique section.

I'm always willing to give advice on writing, and may occasionally write articles on certain areas - I'm not perfect my any means, but I've done enough reading and writing to help people with a hand up.

I used to be an asshole on here - if we weren't friends a few years ago, we might be now, feel free to try again.
