The punishment fits the crime

OK Anthony, now that you’ve stopped your little screaming fit, maybe you’ll let me explain exactly what’s happening to you. We’ve been watching you very closely, Anthony. We know what you did to those girls, even if the courts won’t do anything because they’re too terrified to testify. So in situations like that we step [...]

Alien Abduction

He struggled against his bonds, but they held fast. Curse this body, it was so much weaker than his old one. He knew he had to escape, and fast. The alien doctors were using a combination of heavy medication and hypnotic suggestions to reprogram his whole being. Already he could feel himself slipping away. Before [...]

Have to fight

Gary stared at his father. “Dad, you need to remember who you were. Who you are. They may have messed with our bodies, made us look like girls, made us….. do those things, but if we can remember who we are then they can’t win. Not totally. We can’t let them break us.” But he [...]

Red for Danger

Andrew hooked a strand a loose hair behind his ear without thinking. He could remember coming into his apartment and then nothing. It all went blank until he woke up, face down on his bed in the body of a hot redheaded chick over half his age. Think. Damn it. How could this have happened? [...]

Dreamcatcher

It had taken months of preparation. Every night he spent hours meditating as she slept, reaching out with his mind, visualising what it would be like to be her. She was perfect, and he wanted nothing more than to be her… Then one night he broke through, for only an instant he gained control. Each [...]

Image of the Goddess

The two girls giggled as they watched the man struggle against his bonds. They knew it was pointless to resist the inevitable. The Goddess would reward them for this offering. This was their first, and they knew they had chosen well. He was a strong one, and would make a fine addition to the sisterhood. [...]

Reanimator

He’d deliberately taken her life. The punishment for that was quite clear. The Sisterhood were not all-powerful. No magic could reanimate a corpse, whatever you might have read. Once the spark of life had gone out there was nothing left but meat. But they could remould existing flesh. And the killer became the donor. It [...]

Maid to Measure

So you actually did it? *This* is your husband? I can’t believe it. How is that possible? Ah well my dear, with enough money anything is possible. There are some very “specialised” clinics out there who will, for the right amount of leverage, carry out any surgery you wish. And so for poor Gerald here, [...]

Witness Protection

He should have known things were wrong from the beginning, but they were so convincing. His testimony would sink McGregor’s whole operation and he knew they’d go to extreme lengths to silence him. So the witness protection agency needed extreme measures to hide him. They assured him that everything being done was reversible. Just before [...]

Chocolates

What kind of fool buys enchanted chocolates and then leaves them lying around the flat? Simon had bought them to ensnare a girl he rather fancied – she’d become his perfect girlfriend. He’d only popped out of the house for 10 minutes. But that was enough time for Gerry, his idiot flatmate to sneak a [...]
