Ghost Writer

A second story published in a single week? What's happening?

Ghost writer is hybrid fiction, using both the science fiction and the supernatural genres. Appropriately therefore, it appears in Hybrid Fiction magazine #3, April 2020.

Unfortunately, I can't show you the cover picture.

So here's something relevant.

Second Coming

I'm pleased to report that my story 'Second Coming' received an honourable mention in Issue #35 of the On the Premises magazine competition.
The photograph on the left, needless to say, is not a royal palace in Egyptian Thebes, but it sort of gives you the idea.
I am indebted to Messrs Sigmund Freud and Ahmed Osman. The former first suggest that Moses was an Egyptian rather than a Hebrew. The latter has produced good evidence to support the specific Egyptian identity that I eventually settled on.

The challenge for this edition of On the Premises was to write a story about a situation in which there is more than one of something there should be only one of.

Well how about Ruler of the World?
