The Detective series
These were exercises in trying out a different narrative voice, for which I played around with a hard boiled, noirish character. I hope to re-work these at some point and make them more cohesive.
The Detective and the Robot – the main story based in this world.
The Detective – the original test story.
The Detective and the Machine - a fun, if rather unlikely side story which doesn’t really exist in the same universe.
Brief experiments
The Villa - a triumphant victor surveys the spoils of war.
The Void - this was loosely based on a nightmare I had about 15 years ago.
Untitled #1 – segment from a non-existent longer story. I don’t currently have any plans to expand this.
