The Neurophages XVII
When Miles and Lou awoke Alba was not with them, Babbage and Ada however were. They stood hand in hand in front of an enormous difference engine. The machine clicked and clacked as it’s crank turned and tiny pins pushed against oddly shaped rods....

Detached
With effort she lifts her tired head and attempts to catch someone’s eye but all she can see are legs. Manly legs in trousers, hidden legs covered by skirts, boyish legs in shorts and sandals, feminine legs in fish-net stockings supported by stil...

The Neurophages XV
Alba’s monkey-wrench sword blazed, Marie-Louise’s tool belt clinked as she searched for a suitable weapon and Mile’s knuckles cracked. They were prepared for battle. The hatch swung silently outward. Three pairs of eyes adjusted to th...

The Neurophages XIII
When Miles eventually tore loose from Lou’s embrace he stammered “You? I never suspected …” “You can be such a dimwit sometimes, didn’t you notice my aprons?” Lou retorted smilingly. “Yes, but I thought t...

The Neurophages XI
“By the beard of Archimedes, where did that come from?” exclaimed Lou. “Oh, it was just this monkey-wrench that was destined for bigger things.” explained Alba non-committally and dropped the sword, which changed back to a wrenc...

The Neurophages VII
“Infected with a neurophage?” “An angel is powering this carriage?” said Lou and Miles simultaneously. “Yes Lou, the neurophages are attached to their lymbic system and direct their thoughts and actions. For the most part ...

The Neurophages V
The angel’s words were truer than any of them could have imagined. For, even though no warning sirens has sounded or lights had blinked on the space-carriage itself, there was someone who had been notified. Tiny hairs had registered the opening o...

The Neurophages II
The door opened fully, hissing and squeaking slightly. As the cryogenic vapour dissipated, Miles slunk closer. No klaxon had sounded, no warning lights blinked, only the fizzing gasses slowly sublimed around him. Dim red light illuminated a frosted cry...

The Neurophages
Miles R. Merryweather could feel the steam pipes creak and groan under his slippered feet. The noise was almost, but not entirely drowned out by the squeaking of the gears and it drove him nearly insane but the heat emanating from the pipes was comfort...

flight
Malcolm had a secret. It wasn’t a big secret as secrets go but it was one he kept fastidiously from Rey, the coffee girl and in fact everybody at the office – that is, if you could call the little cubicle at the Border Watch an office. If y...

Breath (a dream)
Regina slowly shuffled past the older initiates to her appointed place to the right of the candelabrum. They were standing on the left, each dressed in a white robe with a hood hiding most of their features. Only the lit, white candle each one was hold...

your move
The ebony queen gathered her robes and sashayed across the black and white marble floor. All the knights could do was watch as she lifted her silken leg and… Time seemed to slow down. The kings face slowly drained of colour. She had aimed the kick ri...

Second kiss
“Who will drive me home?” I asked when the party neared it’s end. “I’ll do it” she said “but on second thought why don’t you sleep over at my house?” “But I don’t have my toothbrush with...
