Mercy Killing
1st Box Landing Page, Contemporary Fiction

Mercy Killing

By Uisdean 23 October, 2021 20 May, 2022 0

This very short tale, about 800 words, is a rewrite of a story I wrote eons ago.

The Fifth Commandment
1. Short Stories, 1st Box Landing Page, Biblically Themed

The Fifth Commandment

By Uisdean 1 August, 2020 23 March, 2021 0

The story of King David is one of the great stories of history. This retelling is from the viewpoint of Prince Jonathan, the son of King Saul. It examines the relationship of Jonathan and his father, asking how to obey the 5th commandment when one’s father is not very honorable. While it is very long, I do hope you enjoy it.

The Three Little Pigs

The Three Little Pigs

By Uisdean 17 August, 2019 11 February, 2021 0

This is a different take on The Three Little Pigs. They’re plumbers. The wolf is a banker. I do hope you enjoy this tale. I had a lot of fun writing it.

A Stone Circle Story
1st Box Landing Page, Fantasy

A Stone Circle Story

By Uisdean 5 October, 2018 8 March, 2021 0

October 5th. Our son, Andrew, was born on this day. Unfortunately, he lived only 11 days. Perhaps I will tell that story sometime. Today I tell him a story.
