The Freedom to Move OnAn emotional short story about friendship, loss and the teenage desire for freedom.
We all suffer loss, even if only the loss of our innocence and youth or simply losing friendships made in childhood or our hormone-fueled teenage years.
Saying goodbye is never easy. Sometimes it takes real effort to come to terms with tragedy and move on; sometimes it seems impossible to go on as before.
For fifteen-year-old Andrew this means embarking on a bold escapade, traveling abroad and ending up on a ghostly joyride in order that his friend might find eternal peace.
Andrew pays a touching tribute to his friend whilst learning that positive action is a much better way to cope than his original plan of shutting himself away from the world and giving up on all that the future holds.
Three Bells and Boom! One disillusioned, outcast casino worker has finally had enough. On behalf of his kind he devises a revolutionary high-tech heist, the like of which Officer Jenkins has never seen before.
The Vegas retiree sets about liberating his enslaved counterparts and literally wires himself up to the AI machine that will influence technology on a global scale ... the one-armed bandit prepares for detonation...
Free As A BirdThe value of independence cannot be overestimated. Man, woman, child, animal, bird... No one wants to live in a cage.
Graybeard the parrot valued her freedom to such a degree that she undertook a vast transcontinental journey to escape a life of imprisonment.
Having been captured at an early age, she struggled to adapt to life back in her natural habitat; she encountered the harshness of living in the wild, searching for food, avoiding predators and smugglers who ensnared wildlife daily.
She finally made the momentous decision to retrace her epic flight and return to the country, and the little girl, who had shown her kindness-but it had to be on her own terms...
Don't Go InsideIn a world of ever-changing fashion and trends, the latest must-have was a Titan Plus pen. On the popular sci-fi TV show, it was a teleporting, communicating, laser-transmitting, all-singing-and-dancing gizmo; in the stores it was simply a tool for writing but an exact replica in appearance.
It was not surprising, then, that all boys and girls between ten and twelve years of age wanted one, needed one...
Dream Prison: Sometimes your day just doesn't go as planned; sometimes a seemingly ordinary day can turn into a complete nightmare. When Janine Allthorp missed her bus, her day took an unexpected turn and set off a series of terrifying events.
As the shadowy figure pursuing her grows ever closer so the mood of Janine's day darkens, and she gravely regrets missing the school bus when she finds herself running...
