Welcome to The Distant Edge, that mysterious place where dreams parade proudly up Main Street, nightmares infest the back alleys, and reality flirts with fantasy when your back is turned. This book is a snapshot of the world on our periphery, a place where the fabric of existence is tattered, worn, and frayed.
Fear can be found here, desperate to permeate each soul with its dark oozing menace. However, The Distant Edge is never without hope, so alongside the dangerous and detestable we find true courage and heart.
These are the stories, accounts, sketches, and musings compiled from my time spent on the edge amongst a mysterious medley of misfits

The Naked and the Dead
The Moon and I (German Version).
Der Mond und ich
Der Mond schaut auf mich herab und lächelt, denn ich bin sein Lieblingssohn. Mein Herzschlag beschleunigt sich, ebenso wie meine Geschwindigkeit, hier gehöre ich hin. Muskeln und Sehnen treiben mich vorwärts, durch Wälder ohne Licht, außer dem sanften Schein, den er von oben ausstrahlt. Mit Leichtigkeit überquere ich Bäche und Schluchten und klettere Felswände hinauf, die kein Mensch zu überqueren wagen würde. Nichts kann meinen geschärften Sinnen entgehen, die kleinste Bewegung, der schwächste Geruch oder die leisesten Geräusche wecken meine Aufmerksamkeit. Ich bin eins mit der Natur, befreit von den Fesseln der Gesellschaft und ihrer seelenlosen Unterwerfung. Verdorbenes Blut fließt durch meine Adern und erfüllt mich mit Euphorie in ihrer wahrhaftigsten Form. Ich werde jede Sekunde davon auskosten.
Die ganze Zeit über schaut er stolz von oben zu, sein Gesicht aufgedunsen und voll. Der Mond und ich, wieder vereint.

My Mermaid
The mermaid emerged from the dank, putrid depths of the mangrove swamp to enchant me. With hair lank as Spanish moss, reptilian eyes brighter than any gators, and a tail the likes of which I had only ever seen on a flathead catfish!
From our first kiss, with her barbels tickling my cheeks, to our moonlit marriage one steamy night in the bayou, our love endures forever more.

Clock Hands
The old town square clock is serviced every ten years, but the hands are replaced frequently. Flesh tends to rot quickly in the sun.

.The Phantoms
A phantom rushing through the night can be a terrifying experience to witness. Rest assured thought little one. Without the phantoms performing their nocturnal duty, the moon would lose its glorious glow, and the stars desert us for ever..
.Running hot!
Pop the clutch baby, we’re running hot on high octane, blood infused gasoline! .
.The Prism
I threw down the prism and screamed. No white light refracted into a glorious rainbow of technicolour dreams had greeted me when holding it up to catch the sun. A nightmare vision of fractured, otherworldly colours had spread out before me, pulsating, malevolent and alive.
