A rummage through the virtually dusty archives of my computer hard drive has unearthed a handful of short stories, and I thought I’d post a few here for your perusal.

This one, The Luger, is probably five or six years old. It was published in the Tonto Short Stories anthology in 2006. It’s set in Amsterdam, and is the story of an old man who gets an unwelcome visit from a persistent salesman.

Looking back on it, there are some things I’d change, like cutting out some of the over-description, but I like the conflict and tension between the characters, and I think the resolution is pretty good. Feel free to download, have a read, and post any comments.
