Alt. life: Aardvark

Posted on November 18, 2021 by Serendipidy Haven

Alt.life: Unit 9

Posted on September 11, 2021 by Serendipidy Haven

Alt. life: From our correspondent

Posted on July 17, 2021 by Serendipidy Haven

Here’s another short that came out of a prompt from the writing group I’m a member of. It was one of those prompts that I found singularly uninspiring, and consequently – as I occasionally do, when faced with a challenge … Continue reading →

Alt. life: The Shadow on the Ceiling

Posted on June 13, 2021 by Serendipidy Haven

Right now, I’m toying with the idea of refurbishing the blog. Way back when this all first started, some 11 years and 4 days, and – according to some rough and ready calculations – over a million words ago, I … Continue reading →

To sleep…

Posted on May 17, 2020 by Serendipidy Haven

Breaking…

Posted on April 20, 2020 by Serendipidy Haven
