“Quintin! Quintin! we have to be aboard that ship!” “Whatever are you on about Tristin old boy?” “The Titanic!” Tristin replied. The Titanic was built in Belfast, Northern Ireland by Harland & Wolff. It would sail from Southampton, England to New York City, United States Of America. As well as being the biggest and most luxurious ship then, it was also said to be unsinkable. She was due to leave Southampton on April 10th, 1912, for its maiden voyage. The Aristocracy and ‘well-to-do’ people would be on board. They all loved ‘getting one ...

I AM A WEREWOLF BUT I’M DIFFERENT

Chuck Suave

Submitted to Contest #281

I am a werewolf, but I’m different.I am trapped between two worlds. A beast in the flesh and a man in memories. My very existence is a defiance of nature's order. An anomaly created by moonlight and torment. I vividly recall my transformation into the man-beast I have become.Beneath the light of a full moon, the change began. I had been camping and fishing at the lake. Doubling over in pain I thought I’d just got a tummy bug. The pain intensified and my veins were bulging under my skin. I could feel my muscles twisting and rippling in my bod...

No Phone! No Sat Nav! Where the hell was I? Jock MacLintock was having a rare, quiet Friday night in. Feet up on the reclining sofa and watching crappy American cop dramas on the TV. This was bliss he thought. His phone buzzed loudly, it was his daughter, Mary. “Dad! Dad! We’ve missed the last train home” she sobbed. “Mary it’s OK, calm down and tell me where you are and who’s with you.” “Rhonda and Keith are here. We’re at the Hillpeat underground station. It's not a good area Dad, we’re scared.” “Mary, do you see anywhere you could go, t...

She was a marine biologist.The government commissioned her to assess the impact on marine life after a mysterious shipwreck was discovered just o...

The 'Steam And Sip' Eavesdropper

Chuck Suave

Submitted to Contest #275

It was a dreich Monday and one that promised more rain later. I’d grabbed an earlier bus that morning, I needed to get my usual seat and my Monday morning fix. As I hurried along the high street towards the café, The Steam And Sip, I looked up at the darkening clouds and quickened my pace. I found ‘my spot’, a small corner seat by the café window. This was the perfect spot to do some people-watching outside and people listening inside. The acoustics were perfect here, not too loud to drown out conversations and quiet enough to pick up on t...

Dem Dam Dogs

Submitted to Contest #274

"I've never liked dogs," I told my therapist.Here I was, a forty-year-old man and I was in counselling because a couple of dogs barked and lunged at me. I was literally scared shitless by it. I couldn't go on like this and needed help.Rewind several years to me as a young child. My most vivid memory was of me, my brothers and Mum out for a day at the park. A dog was running around barking and jumping up on folk. I was a bit scared so I tried to stay away from it, however, it sensed my fear and started running towards me. I shouted to my mum ...
