Blog Entry 3 – The Exoplanet Explorer
May 27, 2026 | Exoplanet Explorer, Flash Fiction
I’m so glad I started this blog because otherwise, I’d have nowhere to share this discovery without being carted off to the nearest mental hospital.
Sod it, I need to tell somebody, I’m gonna explode if I don’t. It’s not like I have any actual followers on the blog anyway; so here goes.

A Life Not Measured.
Feb 2, 2026 | Flash Fiction, Poetry
He froze himself to get richer. He wakes 102 years later to find money gone, nations and corporations “disbanded,” and a place called Solace where people share because they can—and because they chose to. Calvin Drake keeps reaching for the old levers: profit, optimisation, status. But nothing responds. No one defers. And in that silence, something starts to crack open. A Life Not Measured is a near-future literary sci-fi story about ego, redemption, and what happens when the world outgrows conquest.
The Purple Prison

A New Dawn – Poetry
Mar 25, 2024 | Poetry, General
Like a blanket Autumn falls
Over my shoulders, yet keeps me not warm.
I retreat inside frosted walls,
To steel myself for the coming storm.

Suffering the father of ease.
Blog Entry 1 – The Exoplanet Explorer
Jan 30, 2024 | Exoplanet Explorer, Flash Fiction
I need a place to share my thoughts and frustrations, so I’ve started this blog in the hopes that it will bring me some peace of mind.
Somehow I doubt it, but my therapist says it’s worth a try.
I saw something weird in the woods earlier, it’s probably nothing but I’ll go and check it out properly tomorrow.
