Joshua is navigating his eco-boat, The Mattie Rat along a dark and stinking stretch of the old canal through Monkton - a city overwhelmed by gangs and gun toting Militias. Joshua's seen it all before: urban decay, corruption and the death of hope. Living on the water, and with no need for money, he's usually able to slip unnoticed through these town stretches and into the green beyond. But when he's tricked into picking up a pair of enigmatic hitchers, Joshua knows there's going to be trouble in Monkton. In spite of his best efforts, the wily old Waterman is about to become an accomplice in the biggest magical stunt of all time. And if the world no longer believes in magic, well, it only has itself to blame.

That's what they try to teach you in prison, and fair enough, I might even have left there one day determined to go straight except, suddenly, I was on an island in the China Sea, gazing at a beautiful girl in a yellow Bikini. So maybe it had been worth it after all. But careful now! You had to avoid thinking things like that because they'd a nasty habit of dissolving back into reality and you'd wake up right back in that stinking grey cell: five years of your life already erased, with another two to go, and all because you'd never been able to resist the puzzle of a pretty motor car! fantasy mystery romance short story speculative http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3739.png http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3739.pdf http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3739.epub http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3739.mobi Lively Custard Michael Graeme http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3299 en 2004 Short Story - a 25 minute read: Rogue trees are popping up all over the little town of Frinton-cum-Hardy and the residents have begun speaking in metaphors so mixed and mangled, poor Armitage, connoisseur of all things bookish, finds he no longer understands his mother tongue.

It astonished him. It tasted like he imagined the most perfect water should taste, but it was a sensation spoiled by the queer fact that he wasn't thirsty even though he had walked for hours under a hot sun. "Perhaps we don't need food,... or water," he said. "Only when it pleases us." He looked around then at the land and he felt a chill. What manner of place was this? And what manner of being had he become? fantasy mystery romance short story speculative http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3074.png http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3074.pdf http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3074.epub http://feedbooks.com/userbook/3074.mobi The Choices Michael Graeme http://feedbooks.com/userbook/2974 en 2006 A fifteen minute read: I am sitting here in the lounge-bar of the McKinley Arms Hotel, by the shores of Loch Lomond, and I am staring out into the twilight at my choices.

She was just a computer program, a crude simulation - at best a never ending animated cartoon with only one character and no story line. But she was "something",... a hobby I suppose you might say. Other young men had hobbies, equally obscure, though perhaps more socially inclusive. They collected camera gear, they went fishing, raced cars or drank themselves stupid. Me? I coded in my bedroom. Same thing? Well, not quite. You see, while other people's hobbies took them out of themselves, mine enabled me to climb deeper inside. science fiction fantasy meaning short story speculative metaphysical http://feedbooks.com/userbook/2822.png http://feedbooks.com/userbook/2822.pdf http://feedbooks.com/userbook/2822.epub http://feedbooks.com/userbook/2822.mobi The Man Who Talked to Machines Michael Graeme http://feedbooks.com/userbook/2783 en 2001 A short story from web-author Michael Graeme (a half hour read): "You have to talk to them, counsel them, mesmerise them into stillness before you set foot anywhere near them.
