The Imp on the Bridge

The Imp on the Bridge Mother Elderflower was sick. Her eyes were dark, her cheeks sallow and her hair clung to her forehead in slick and salty ringlets. She looked up at her son, Boldor, his large belly visible through his tunic. A tear crept from the corner of one eye. Boldor turned and hollered through the half-open doorway. 'Hengar, fetch Druid Celestina!' His voice was cracked and listless. 'She has the blood-sickness!' Hengar was Boldor's younger, buttercup haired sibling. His head appeared through the window. 'I’m here, brother, but Druid Celestina left for the Wildflower Hills ...

You Are My Sunshine

O’Reilly’s is an up-market wine bar in the middle of the financial district. Raif has always been an expensive drinker. He likes the kudos of it, the company of men that are just like him. He beckons me to a booth. He looks good. Tailored suit, neatly trimmed hair and beard. His aftershave smells nice too. He touches my arm, hands me a gin. “Thanks for coming,” he says. “I don’t have long. I need to get back to our son.” “That’s kind of why I called.” Alarm bells ring. “Why you called?” “Yes,” he pauses. “We’ve been talking. Andy and I.” The bells ring louder. “Okay?” “He says that y...

Black Heart of The Raven

He opens his eyes. Somehow, between the moment they returned from the café and the moment he awoke from his nightmare, he’s made it to the cellar. There’s a small window that used to be a coal chute, but now it’s nothing but old green glass. The exterior of the window is covered in thick moss and dark smears. He can see just enough to know it’s evening. There’s barely any light in the cellar, and just enough air to breathe. The place stinks. He knows it’s where she keeps all the meat. There’s plenty. The freshest of it hangs from hooks that dangle from overhead joists, waiting to be butcher...

The Final Cut

The barn was dark and musty, and reeked of death. Heather had seen enough bodies in her time to know what a festering corpse smelled like, no matter how fresh the body was. Various farming implements hung from the walls: a shovel, a scythe, and a broken plough. A rusted barrow tottered on one wheel to her right, a dozen or so bales of hay were to her left. A body lay crooked and lifeless at the rear of the barn. The victim was tall, maybe six-four, wearing the remains of a baseball cap, his flannel shirt covered in blood. He was unshaven, with a scar that stretched from the right-hand corne...

A Labor of Love

The sunlight streamed through the half-open blinds, casting a soft glow on the room. A gull flew by on the slipstream, and for a moment, Sara followed its path with her eyes, trying to focus on anything — other than the blur of emotions swirling in her head. Her actions from the night before were a tangled mess of desire and doubt. What had she done? She turned her head slowly, her gaze falling on Channing. He was lying beside her, one arm draped casually across her abdomen, his dark eyes already on her, watching her with that effortless calm that always seemed to unsettle her. “Morning, ...

Academic

It was into this environment that the author spent his formulative years. He was raised in the Congregational Church as a Calvinist, and his family and wider familial network had strong religious ties. While he graduated from the King's College, Aberdeen with a degree in chemistry and physics, he always maintained his faith, while also struggling with some of the Calvinist church's ideals. In 1848 he started his theological training at Highbury College for the congregational ministry, and was ultimately appointed minister of Trinity Congregational Church, Arundel, in 1850. His take on the e...

Self Help

As you can see, there are fundamental differences between these two styles of self-reliance, and these should be fully considered before you sit down with your family or loved one to map out your road to your desired end goal. Of course, it doesn't have to be black and white. For example, you may choose to produce your own electricity through wind power or solar panels, but you also might want to stay hooked up to the public water supply. This is okay, too. Your journey will be unique to you, and you should make the adjustments that suit the way you want to live. Food production might also...

Awesome peek into the book! Thank you!

A customer · 4.8 · May 2026

I noticed my book title was open to misinterpretation. I appreciate Rick's patience to work and cooperate with me to realigned the title to the right direction. I learned from this project the importance of clear communication and to not assume your writer is thinking in same direction as you. As a leader, this was my lesson learned. It was an eye opening experience. Other than this communication with Rick was very smooth

Rick is certainly what you are looking for if you are looking for speed, quality, and professional all rolled into one. Thanks again Rick for all your help!

A customer · 5.0 · March 2025

This is the writer you are looking for! Rick did an amazing job. He was quick, on time, professional, and very responsive and helpful in all categories. Given the nature of my project he was very receptive and went above and beyond my expectations. I am very satisfied with the work we created and hope to maybe work together again with Rick (if he isn't too busy and inclined to). I highly suggest using Rick for your next project especially if its a difficult one. He is very good at helping fill in gaps and making suggestions and changes. I can't recommend this writer enough and know how difficult it is to get to the finish line of a project. Rick is the perfect mentor and guide to help you on that journey and if you have project you want to see uplifted and elevated to a professional work. Before, I thought there was no one that could help me with my project considering how chaotic and unusual it was. After working with Rick I am confident to actually put this finished product into the market place. I know as an artist trying to get to that point is difficult but with Rick I feel much better about finally being able to confidently put this out into the world. Rick will treat your project with the respect and care it needs to get to that level. Thanks Rick for all your help and I'm grateful for all the hard work and help! Infinite thank yous.
