What is a writer?
A miserable little pile of words!


Call me MP or Miz


Fiction attempted, with various levels of success.


Yes, I do need help, thank you for noticing.

Back before you were born, your average saint had a halo they could depend on throughout their entire mission. A companion for life.
Bright and golden, a shining beacon of light in the darkness of the soul, strong and sturdy enough to give a slavering demon or insidious impure thought a good whack on the nose and send them scurrying back to the depths they came from.
Rock-hard faith substantialised, forged in the fires of belief, wielded with conviction.

But these days?
They send those poor buggers out with shoddy gold-plated pewter, the best they can do now that the top brass have tarnished all they're supposed to stand for. Abandoned their principles. Let the rot in at the core.
Sure, it sparkles and if you don't look too closely, even looks the same... for about five seconds, until the hapless young saint beset by a rampaging horde of techno-lusts tries to defend themselves and their halo crumples to nothing in their hands, their light winking out forever.

Trust me, kid.
There's no future in it.
