Gautin’s Errand is the story of a young boy entrusted with a sudden burden too great for most men to bear. Born with a crippled leg, and without even understanding his mission, Gautin must carry a package through absolute peril, all to save his family—and his father—who have only ever treated him with contempt.
I’m writer who deals in the weird and the wild. This piece is all about the savagery most of us hide under our skins. It’s a short piece (<1000 words) but part of a series of brief but equally-strange stories I’ll be releasing as part of my fortnightly schedule. Take a look 🦈
I started a brand new serialisation! Wake me up in Dystopia is subtitled An autobiographical future, so yours truly is a main character, except it starts in the year 2053 when I am 80 years old, and am facing the imminent almost-mandatory 'assisted dying' law, which requires a 'reasonable exemption' if you want to keep on living. The young nurse is approaching my house, but her neural implant isn't working, and my home assist computer doesn't behave like a normal one should. There is clearly something strange going on... what is going to happen to me? or any of us, when the time comes?
