Hi, I’m Orwell.
I enjoy writing.
Be it suspense, horror, magical realism and everything in between.
I like stories that start in the everyday, on job sites, in classrooms, out bush or camping… and then take a turn for the unexpected. I’m drawn to blue-collar settings and stories that stay grounded, even when the ground starts to shift. You can keep your brooding genius detectives, orphaned chosen ones, and femme fatales. I prefer tension that simmers, not shouts. Ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
The most unsettling stories don’t come from monsters or magic. They come from moments we almost recognise. Things we’ve lived. Or think we could.
I aim to start quiet. Let the unease creep in. Twist reality, never into full-blown fantasy, but just enough to crack the surface. It’s not about shock. It’s about choice. About what we do when no one’s watching.
In short I want to write fiction that feels real, even if it bends the rules. Just a little..
Apparently this story was good enough for a podcast.
