Storyteller

Welcome to StoryTeller. I didn’t know what else to call it. I’ve always loved storytellers. Cats who could spin yarn after yarn. Tales of the road. Those enjoying the highlife. Misfits, vagabonds and scars for the heart. I’ll try and breathe life into the stories that were told to me. Short stories, songs, poems. Fables from the land of make believe. The word of the StoryTeller.

Meet The Blacks

We're pleased to present you with the first chapter of our ongoing story. You'll get to meet the boys in the band as they blaze their way in and out of trouble ...

Chapter 1

The first rays of the morning sunlight hit Jett’s naked chest as if to say his heart may need a kick start. Jett was wide awake and covered in sweat. The dream again.

Back To Bethlehem

Back To Bethlehem is based on a short story I wrote in high school while living on Canada's West Coast.

Chapter 1

If only I'd stayed on the bus, I thought to myself as I stepped around fresh roadkill on the side of the highway.

Meet The Blacks 2

Jett's fantasy face redo girl has come to life. And she's on a dating site. Say no more, Jett's on it. What's eating Rusty?

Chapter 2

Jett awoke refreshed. And no redo dream. He thought he had it sorted. The dreams only came after a day of drama or turmoil.

Back To Bethlehem is based on a short story I wrote in high school while living on Canada's West Coast.

I awoke to find a blurry, imposing shadow moving about and shaking me to my senses. I wasn't sure how much time had passed with the sun lower in the cloudless sky.

Meet The Blacks 3

Jett and Wendy (our redo girl?) have started chatting. And now we’re shopping for a dog? I guess you’ll have snap out of it, Jett. There’s trouble brewing.

Chapter 3

Jett looked at the time on the screen. Wow. They’d been chatting for an hour and it seemed like only minutes since “Hi baby”. She was a refreshing chat.

‘Look at you. Jack the lad. You’ve been introduced to Jimmy Longneck. As it turns out, Jimmy’s an American hailing from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.’

Meet The Blacks 4

You've had a chance to get to know the boys. They seem to get on surprisingly well. And things are starting to happen.

Chapter 4

Rhett awoke to a strange but very pleasant sensation and a fire in his belly that was quickly spreading downwards. He felt a familiar warmness below.

Back To Bethlehem 4

Apparently Jimmy thinks it’s show and tell time. The gun. I respond with a little bit of show and tell of my own. The Orange.

Chapter 4

I grabbed the bottle of Mescal and as I turned around to hand it to him his eyes locked on mine in the rearview mirror.

Chapter 5

Astrid Mueller sat back down to watch the station feed for the third time. Los Angeles was ass over tea kettle. And his band, Meet The Blacks, were the cause.

Chapter 6

The next morning was colder than usual. Winter’s comin’. If we tour it’ll have to be in the spring. We’ll have to record a proper CD.
