If you like dark short stories
If you are the type of person who enjoyed watching Tales of the Unexpected and finds they enjoy a tale with a sinister twist, then you might enjoy my short stories. Here is what a few Amazon reviews had to say –
“Thoroughly enjoyed these short stories reminiscent of Roald Dahl’s ‘Tales of the unexpected’. Particular praise for ‘Clocking Off’”
“All the stories here have their own flavour. Another review mentioned Tales of the Unexpected and I’d say that’s on the money. Imaginative, well-written, I’m looking forward to more from this author.”
“Six creepy stories that are guaranteed to lodge themselves firmly under the skin. Each story invites the reader into a world where you are certain that from the very first word, things are not going to end with a cheery musical number. They are ‘dark’ stories for a reason. A quick read for those looking for a chilling end to the evening, each tale comes with its own twist. Personal favourites include ‘Doctors Visit’ and ‘Clocking Off’.”
And if you would like to read the story mentioned a couple of times there, you can find it here – Clocking Off

Not Worth What It Was
Prices, of goods and services and what they call ‘the value of money’. Across the board, finances and currencies are being screwed around with and used as a weapon of control, and seems they always were, just as with Words and Meaning, money plays a very pivotal role in shaping society and our mindset towards it, and to be able to function within that.
There have been various articles about money and cash which you can find in my Cash Compilation, and I have tried to explain further in Apples and Pears, and On The Glad and Sorry, of how money has captured and captivated us, but is not as simple as just being money anymore. Because a pound isn’t worth a pound, and when they say ‘it won’t buy you what it used to’ we all just nod and in a nostalgic way just agree and think back to a time when our pounds really did buy more. Because more was available it seems, there were more people competing for business, customers, profits and market share. But as the decades have worn on, that market share has been well and truly sewn up, by conglomerates, corporations and consuming business empires that don’t seem to want any wealth in the hands of what they deem ‘ordinary people’. And if they are allowed some kind of wealth for a time, it’s because they have a plan to strip it back off you at a later date, a temporary freedom for some, keeping you in the game and playing for them.
We are the mercy of people who are throwing around money like it is sand and they a child in the sandpit. If we were to change the rules and make them personally liable for any deals they make, or any loses they incur, we would see a rather quick change in attitudes and actions, I’m sure. But we don’t have that, or any kind of accountability for anyone who plays their part in the disaster being created around us. We just have a crushingly soulless and numb rhetoric being repeated, but it isn’t enough anymore, people can see and feel the real effects of what they are doing. Like the saying goes, trust what they do and not what they say – and in this case, there is an awful lot to see, and when you understand it is not in their best interest to admit anything or fix anything, you can see why they just keep going through with insane ideas, and lying through their teeth about everything. Because if they did own up, confess and actually do what was right, it would end the whole gravy train for all of them, and when it comes to politicians, Self-Preservation really does seem to be something they are good at focusing on. For themselves and the system that protects them, but not so much for the bigger picture and the ‘job’ they are meant to do, you know, the one they actively signed up for, looking after the country, the people and leading it to prosperity. Or at least that’s the line we’ve been fed, while they steadily reap the resources and wealth from a country and people’s, saying the right thing at the right time, trying to be ‘seen to do it’ rather than actually do it. It’s embarrassing, maddening and now we can see, is having a very real detrimental effect on society and life as we know it.
The worth of many things is being redefined and reevaluated, people included, covered in my articles What Are We Worth?, The Bottom Line and A Commodity – where how much you can make for them, and how much they can take from you is reaching new heights. Borrowing, lending, benefits, inflation, interest, debt and more, to commandeer the present and future with numbers, stats, and unattainable targets. To keep people beholden to that system of Ownership we find ourselves embroiled in and that mentality they need us to have, so we keep playing their game of Monopoly and they can keep being the banker. But it really is starting to feel like that game has long run its course and has gone on for so long, they don’t know how to play any other game, we shall see. Because it would be nice to think there is something else, and another way of doing things, but we just haven’t got there yet…

The Obelisk Project
They are impressive structures, obelisks. And buried near the Washington Monument in the ground is a small replica of the obelisk, in a hole just below the surface. And seeing it started an idea, following on slightly from A Time for Change, and tying into As Clear As Mud, as a marker of things occurring. It’s said they are used for geolocation or something along those lines, so could they pinpoint where to dig to uncover the structures quicker next time round?
My speculation being that when the plates start to move and the ‘pole shift’ happens, or the water or mud starts to rise, the small buried obelisks will start to rise. Signalling the start of something big happening. And just perhaps that’s the real reason for underground caverns, cisterns and some of the chambers that seem to have no or limited purpose, or one we can’t understand as their complication and grandeur betray their seemingly ordinary function.
Perhaps the pyramids, obelisks, cathedrals and other structures get ‘activated’ by the rising water and start to rise up above the land. A previously engineered escape to the next flood maybe, hoping to rise above it as they say. Because concrete can float, and there are such things as concrete ships, so I wondered if that’s why there are so many stone temples, churches and what appear to just be monuments. To turn into massive ‘floating cities’ or something.
All part of the long plan for humanity, to beat the system of the planet by creating your own systems to get ahead of it. With architecture, language, mathematics, and knowledge, leaving relics, messages, carvings, and myths. Hoping they are understood or deciphered by the next civilisations that follow. And I wonder what point we are at in that cycle and system, close to doom as we sometimes feel? Or still far off from where it goes, trying to work it all out…

All In Your Head
What if they could make voices ‘appear’ in people’s minds. It gets hinted at in certain movies, X-Men and other superhero ones come to mind, of telepathy and the extraordinary skills of a distinct few to be able to intrude upon people in a most personal way.
In the ‘real world’ however, we usually put it down to schizophrenia or some kind of mental disorder. But when you factor in technology, and what it said to be around, the idea and subject gets a little more interesting. The tech is very specific – Voice to Skull (V2K) and is capable of transmitting voices directly into people’s heads.
It does sound crazy, doesn’t it? But so does the idea of people ‘hearing voices’ that have no apparent originating source. Before I knew of the technology, I had already factored it in as a possible explanation. The one case that started my line of thought was the real-life story behind The Amityville Horror. Of the eldest son killing his whole family, and although it’s been dismissed as a lie and seemingly just used to create a horror franchise from, I gave it more thought.
Because I always wondered if ‘they’ might just run tests on a few unsuspecting people here and there (of course they do), but who on and why them? What might be gained from people thinking they ‘hear voices’ that they aren’t able to distinguish as external and not part of their own internal monologue?
Well, I figured if you wanted it to appear as though there was a mental condition you could label and medicate, you’d need ‘patients’. So what better way than to have a few serious examples to hold up, where the patients are indeed experiencing it, then go for help. The Defeo case from Amityville, however, made me also think it’s also something you could use to frighten people, like in those movies. Partly for the film and entertainment industry, but it also preys on people’s fears and superstitions. Perhaps it is a branch of MK Ultra, and those smaller events are part of the bigger picture at play, rolled out later in school settings, perhaps, as well as others.
Another angle I suspect ties in, is when it comes to hearing what people call religious voices. Because I always thought it funny that when it was people hearing those in the clergy, it was fine, but other ones not so much. And of course, you could say it’s the content of the message or information you ‘hear’ that determines its source and whether you should listen or pay attention. But is it? So, if you did have lots of people who were able to receive communications and they didn’t really know where they were coming from, would it be an advantage to encourage many to believe they were false messages? Or they had gone mad? And then disrupt their mind with drugs or put them into an institution to ‘study’ them. Tell them they are just intrusive ‘thoughts’ and that they aren’t real because it’s in their head. But just as Dumbledore said to Harry, ‘just because it’s happening in your head, doesn’t make it any less real’.
As we saw portrayed in The Matrix, where the understanding and concept of ‘real’ was entirely in their heads while in the system. People can also have false memories implanted, be hypnotised or influenced, conditioned, or trained to believe or think certain things. So is our own rendition of our own lived experience and lives even reliable as a source of ‘information’? Are we able to pick up on other things around us, experiencing them as sounds, voices, frequencies or ideas? I wonder, because if some people did have that kind of ability, it seems like something that might be discredited or commandeered for other purposes…
