Ooze life is it anyway?
You may or may not recognize Rod Serling... This story is an homage.
Meet Joe, an ordinary man drawn into an extraordinary encounter with a stranger promising amazement. What begins as a harmless curiosity will soon become a creature that defies creation itself.
Ooze life is it anyway is a tongue in cheek story of human hubris in the Twilight Zone
The Craft
In a shop barely big enough to stand in, every sale is an art form—and every artist has their secrets.
What begins as a search for a simple tobacco pouch becomes a masterclass in persuasion, as Peter encounters Bernie and his crew—salesmen whose craft is as finely tuned as the leather goods they create. Every glance, every word, every move is part of a subtle dance designed to turn curiosity into commitment.
The Craft is a sly, witty exploration of the fine line between artisan and artist—and the irresistible pull of a perfectly told story.
The Kiss
When the stage blurs with reality, what’s real and what’s just a performance?
Jake Evans, a former fighter turned reluctant leading man, steps into the glittering world of theatre. As tensions rise and chemistry ignites with his co-star Niamh Quinn, Jake must navigate secrets, rivalries, and the dangerous allure of authenticity in an industry built on illusion.
The Kiss is a story of passion, betrayal, and the fine line between acting and truth.
It Happened in the Ol' Monterey
A building holds memories, but what happens when it holds secrets too?
Forty years ago, Alex Alfieri was a lost kid with nothing but a crumbling inheritance and a chance encounter with Frank Sinatra. The Monterey became more than a club—it became a legend, blending glamour, music, and shadows. Now, decades later, Alex returns to the place where it all began, only to find the past waiting for him, as alive and haunting as ever.
It Happened in the Ol’ Monterey is a tale of ambition, loss, and the echoes of a life shaped by music, love, and the choices we can’t escape.
The Other Guitarist
COMING SOON!
What if your greatest moments weren’t yours to remember?
In the rain-soaked streets of 1980s Manchester, a city pulsing with the echoes of Joy Division and the raw energy of local legends, a man lives two lives—and knows only one of them. By day, he’s a quiet, unremarkable fan with a fading photograph and fragmented memories. By night, he becomes a transcendent guitarist, an enigma who vanishes before the final chord fades.
But what happens when the line between these two selves begins to blur?
The Other Guitarist is a haunting tale of fractured identity, artistic brilliance, and the price of transcendence in a world where reality and performance collide.
