Write The Fight Right
“The best way for a writer to learn what’s really involved in brawling, short of going down the pub and starting something.”
My duel winning story from House Of Horror has been added to the Dark Shorts page. Use the button on the left or this is a direct link to the story.
It’s a little under 1,500 words and Friday Flash stuff is supposed to be 1,000 words or less, but I thought I’d mention this in Friday Flash circles anyway, for those of you interested to have a read. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to the website of author Alan Baxter.
I write dark fantasy, sci fi and horror, ride a motorcycle and love my dog. I also teach Kung Fu, hence the Warrior Scribe tag above. A friend once referred to me that way and I liked it, so it stuck. Learn all about me and my work by clicking About Alan just below the header.
Our world is built on language and storytelling. Without stories, we are nothing.

Poor mum, dad and sister though

Congrats on winning the duel too!
Yeah, pretty harsh, huh! Thanks.
Congratulations on winning the Duel.
Ooh, this was creepy and icky, but well written. I feel for his family, though.
Good work.
Thanks. It’s a reminder to be nice to people – you never know who might suffer!
Hell had no fury like a teenager scorned… Wow. What a bastard! I mean, seriously, I daydreamed when I was in school about beating the crap out of the bully, but cursing him forever and going after his family? Pure evil.
Well written- thanks for sharing! And I’m going to bed now too. Thanks a lot! Hehe
Sweet dreams.
