DAY 4,

DAY 4,
Well I left work this morning around 08:00 give or take a few minutes. Upon leaving I felt quite hungry , so on the way home I decided to stop of at the local Sainsbury’s on the main road into town. I went straight for the bakery and to my disappointment they had no fresh loafs of bread. I really wanted a few slices of rye bead with pate and salami for breakfast. So looking around I decided on two big slices of pastry cheese twists and I got my wife two pecan slices, her favourite. 
Once home I found my wife up getting herself something to eat already. Walking in I said “morning, I wasn’t expecting you up already”, she responded ” I’m starving so I thought I’d get something to eat”. She had made herself three small slices of toast with cashew butter and jam. With my cheese twists I had a big glass of milk and then went and brushed my teeth. Once in bed it really didn’t take me long to fall asleep. Must of been around 08:40 or something like that. 
I wake to the sound of my wife being me coffee and whispering, good afternoon darling it’s 17:30 and I’ve brought you a coffee. The sound of that and the kiss she gave me set me up in a great happy mood. Who wouldn’t be?? Whilst I slowly wake up I look at my phone and see there has been about 25-30 people reading this blog. Thank you very much, please pass it on. There is a great smell in the air, my wife has cooked something good. Grabbing my coffee I head down stairs to where my wife has cooked a beef stir fry and instead of noodles she has made a courgette into noodles, think it’s called zoodles? My wife had dished some up for me to take to work and also some baked beans with cheese on top. My wife is amazing. 
It’s hit 19:00 and it’s time to leave for work now, sadly. On the way it be be a drive slowly day because nearly all drivers are going that extra slowly. A journey that usually take me only 10 minutes took me 20 minutes to get to work. I look in my work bag and go and put my food in the staff fridge and make myself a ginkgo tea for hand over. Hand over is boring but important so I’d better listen. 
As usual I managed to upset one or two patients at the start of the shift. But that soon changes and they settle down. I decided to have my food at about 23:40 as I’m bored and hungry and the patients are fast asleep. I have also brought another book in tonight. It’s a teenage fiction book but an easy read. 

Well I hope you have enjoyed this read. Don’t forget it’s not an exciting life I lead but I am truly grateful for what I have got. 
Don’t forget people, Do something nice for someone. You never know you might find some will do the same for you one time. Smile , just because you can. Good night readers and I’ll post some more things tomorrow. Oh yes apologies for not putting a photo up on yesterday’s writing. It will not happen again. 

DAY 3, Like I mentioned the previous day I dropped of my wife at the train station and waved her off to UNI for the day. After watching her leave I went to Starbucks at the station and ordered a skinny cappuccino. Dam it was strong too, well I done its job and woke me up. 
On returning home I decided to go for a walk in to town and get myself some black combats for security work. I must of gone into about five shops to get some, could I find some? The hell I could. That was a waist of my valuable time. While I was looking for these combats, I must of seen about four drunks in the high street and one looked worse for wear. So with the failure of my search I decided to wonder back home. Half way home I saw an unmarked police car pull over a speeding car. Justice on the speeder. 
Whilst at home l decided to cook myself some food for tonight which consisted of chicken, rice and vegetables. Not long ate it and to be honest it was amazing. One I had done that I got myself a decaf coffee and went back to bed and watched a few films until I fell asleep. Next thing I know i am waking up and it is 17:00. Thinking to myself “dam it, my wife will need picking up from the station”. Jumping out of bed I rush to the station with five minutes to spare. 
It was great to see her coming from the platform. She laughed as she could see imprints on my face from were I had been asleep. She greeted me with a kiss and her saying “just woke up then”. When we got home I jumped in the shower and got ready for work. I have to be there for 19:30 tonight as I am nursing tonight. Hope fully it will be a quiet night. 
Has been quiet so far. No problems or arguments. Well not much happened today plus I need to get back to work now. So I’ll bid you good night. Stay safe and be nice to someone in you life. 

DAY 2,
I have decided to put a photo of something from my day every time I write my memoirs. It could be my dinner, where I am or something I’m watching. 
Well I finished work at 08:00 am this morning and from the last time I wrote we had a call out from someone. Apparently there is a drunk on site, but he wasn’t nasty he was a happy drunk. When we found him he was asleep in a bush. “YES” in a bush, across it. We woke him up and he stunk of booze and he had vomit down his top. The young man was very apologetic as he left the grounds and went home. This was about 05:20 am. Wonder how he is feeling today? 
Well at home and I go straight to bed. I had a few hours sleep until about 12:30 then struggled so bad to get out of bed. How lucky am I, my wife woke me up with a kiss and a big mug of coffee. After about ten minutes I got out bed and went and had breakfast. This consisted of three small slice brown toast, spinach, eggs, mushrooms and avocado. Bloody lovely! 
Once I had washed up and put the dishes away I helped, maybe hindered with the laundry and hung it out.  
I sat with my wife listening to music and music videos while she tidied the spare room and got stuff ready for UNI. Going to be wired dropping her off at the train station so she goes to UNI in another city again. I’ll have the whole day to myself. Oh dear what am I going to do.? 
At comes to 17:00 and it’s time to go to church and on the way back we decide to order a chicken kebab. Oh what a choice that was. I’m stuffed now. Few glasses of Buck’s Fizz and I feel bloated. I suppose I’ll have to go to the gym tomorrow morning to burn it off. There you go I’m already thinking what to do tomorrow. 
It’s 19:38 and I have to be up at 05:00 to get up and showered. I’ll probably make breakfast and coffee and wash after. Keeps me busy. 

Well I hope you liked reading this. Nothing exciting I’m afraid. Well loyal readers I bid you a good night and stay safe no matter what you are doing. 

How it began,

 It all started when I went for a walk in the woods. I had heard stories of people going missing in the woods at night and never being seen again. One night I was bored so I decided to go for a walk in the woods after 2-3 glasses of Dutch courage. 

You can hear the wind whistling 

   The leaves are being blown around by the strong winds. The cool breeze hits my skin and I start to shiver. Suddenly I see what looks like a shadow run past me. I heard howling that sounds like it’s coming from every corner. As I turn with every howl coming from in front, to the left, right, behind and even above I stumble and fall face first to the ground. When I turn over I see in front of me something standing at least 8ft tall, panting like a dog, slobber dripping over me. All I can hear is his my heart beating like it is going to burst out of my chest. I stagger on all fours backwards but the beast is just standing there looking at me. I slow down as it looks like he is just looking and meaning me no harm. 

   As I stop the beast leaps forward from its hind legs and lands on top of me with all four paws either side of me. At the same time I start to scream. Nothing is happening, I open my eyes and the beast looks like a huge dog. He is just looking at me, there’s something about the way it is looking at me. Something not dangerous, something kind of friendly and recognisable in its eyes. I lay there fearing it’s still going to kill me but it starts to back away lifting itself back into its hind legs. As it is standing looking at me it tilts it’s head to the left and looks at me. 

   With him looking something flies over me and straight into the beast. I jump up and see that the beast is fighting what looks like a man, a bloody strong one as he throws the beast as it comes flying back my way. As the beast hits me we both hit the ground hard. Then the man comes running over to us both and the beast is growling like it is ready for a fight to the death. As I try to stand I feel a pain in my left shoulder. To my horror there are four claw marks in my shoulder ripped through my jacket and top. Pain is not the word. The man and beast continue to fight and with this my shoulder starts to burn so much I cry out in pain. As I cry out the man looks over at me and with his look I can see he has a demon looking face. Dam I think he has fangs, could this night get any freakier? The man punches the beast in the chest and it knocked it to the floor, with such a punch the beast yelps out and runs off. 

   Within a second the man has launched himself over to me grabbing me and tries to look at my shoulder. Being a big wimp I try to get away screaming “don’t kill me please”. The man hisses “stop moving and let me look at your wound”. With the shock I stop, mainly out of fear. ” you have the mark of a werewolf, your going to change” he says to me. I try and speak but nothing comes out. The man looks at me and tells me “I can stop this if you want me to help”. I just nod like a frightened little boy. With this nod he grabs my arm pulling it out straight, opening his mouth showing his teeth and then bites down on my left wrist. I scream out in immense pain. With his bite I start to feel like my arm is burning, them my shoulder. “My body feel like it is on fire” I scream out”. The man lets me drop to the floor as I role around in agony he says to me “ride through it, don’t fight it”. 

   I wake up in a bed in a strange room. I sit up and suddenly remember the wound on my shoulder. Looking at it I can’t find anything. Did I dream it? With that I look at my wrist. On my wrist is four puncher marks in my wrist that looks like teeth marks. But it doesn’t hurt, to be fair I feel really good. But the question remains “where the bloody hell am I “? 

DAY ONE- last entry, 
Well like I thought it has been a quiet night over all so far, just another 5 hours left. Not to bad. 

Well I did a few patrols around the property and the grounds. Nothing untoward’s seen or found, that means less paper work for the log book. Plus it is quite spooky in places as you can hear the traffic speeding by, police sirens going. It has been a little nippy out while walking round with just a torch and a thin jacket. 
While out I did come across an Owl sitting on a fence hooting away to itself. There was a couple of , what looked like young foxes playing by the bushes. Can tell you they scare the hell out of me rustling around in the bushes. Plus I did see a young deer jumping around the place but I think I spooked it with my torch. 
Well we will see what the day will bring, if anything interesting happens I’ll let you readers know. If nothing happens I’ll still let you loyal readers know. It won’t be a morning for sleeping I think as I’m not working tomorrow night. 
I’ll bid you all a good night, sleep well and people be nice to someone, someone you don’t know maybe. You don’t know what’s happening to them in their life, so give someone a bit of patience. 

Not a great photo I know but this where I saw the young deer and foxes. 

DAY ONE-part 2,
Well I am at work now and so far it appears to of been a very quiet day. Let’s hope it stays that way.
Tonight I decided to walk to work and chill out walking and listen to music. Tonight on the way the clouds are so dark and grey. It looks like they could burst open any time now. The temperature is quite warm as well, I am working in a T-shirt and I am starting to sweat, nice.  Walking through town, I see a lot of people out for the night. Some people look like they have had enough already, walking all over the place and the way they were talking to their friends. To me being sober I find it funny seeing drunks. 
I do enjoy my job on security it is a busy but nice job. The team I work with are cracking. Phone calls for items lost, people parking in bad places and paper work, lots of it. 
Well I will see how the night goes and if anything fun happens I may let you lovely readers know. Please feel free to read and comment, but if you going to be nasty don’t leave horrible comments. In new to this. I hope everyone has a good night, evening or morning depending where you are. Stay safe readers. James signing out for now. 

DAY ONE,
With waking up to the stupidity of some selfish person revving their car out side at 07:25 I feel I may not be going back to sleep. “Thanks very much”, I won’t write what I was really thinking. Once awake it means get your arse out of bed, so up I get and put on my running gear. You never know it could tire me out and I might be able to fall back to sleep….. who am I kidding. 

Whilst out running I can feel that it is trying to rain but just not getting there. Thinking to myself “hold off until I get home”. Out and about is none, only one or two people who look a state and appear to be returning home from the previous night out. I think I manage about 4-5 km on my run which isn’t to bad I think. 

After showering and having breakfast which consisted of strong kenko coffee and two slices of whole meal toast with pate and salami while watching the news. Dam the coffee is to strong even for me. 

Whilst it reaches lunch time I needed to get some food for tonight as I am working a night shift in security. I have decided to have courgette made into noddles, fried on a pan. With that I’ll be having chicken fried in a pan and spiced up a little. That should be enough looking at the amount I have. During the night it will be lots of ginkgo tea and coffee to keep me awake. At the moment I am getting ready to go back to bed. As I need my sleep. I won’t say beauty sleep as there ain’t enough time in the world for that. 
I will put some more up when I get ready for work and by the morning. Hope you start to read my writing. By the way if you notice mistakes be nice about it as I am not a professional writer. I am just trying something different. As time goes by I will put more things up and pictures as well. 

ENJOY

Short collaboration story from inkvite

Now we stopped swimming she lets go of my arm and immediately I feel like I need to get my breath. When she see my panic she grabs me again and it feels like I can breath. I smile and find if I open my mouth I don’t take in water. I say that I understand and nod to her.    

   She smiles back and we swim through the kingdom. We arrive at these golden gates that loom over the citizens. She says something and the gates open. Once we swim through the gates and I see that we are heading towards a huge castle like building. She tells me that we are going to see the King, her father. It still amazes me that I can hear and talk under water. I could get used to it. 

   We swim through the doors and we stop in front of a throne. The king swims up to me, his face stone like. He looks me up and down, circling around me. “Pah! He will not serve as a good king.” He turned around and I looked at her puzzled, she turned away pink faced. ” but he is the only one that has lasted this long with one of us father”. I looked at her and said “father”. She nodded ” yes, I need to chose a husband and legend says he will be a human and pass the tests”. No I start to get worried. I look at he as in ” what the hell”? 

   He fumed, talking to himself, pacing back and forth the long corridors. Finally he stopped and turned his heel to face me, only inches away. I gulped as he sniffed me then circled me. He poked, sniffed, and looked at me. The girl shifted nervously, I got nervous. The king looks at his daughter and says “he is to scrawny and he will not survive the test”! Now the mermaid looks angrily at her father and says ” you told me to choose, I chose now you dismiss it”. I step forward and ask if I have a say in what’s going on. The king and his servants take me away to a room before I finish my question.

   “Let go of me!” I panicked thinking they were taking me to a dungeon or something. They stared forward blankly, and threw me in my room, which was surprisingly beautiful. “How did I get here..?” I asked myself. 

While the sun went down and I leave the building under Drax’s supervision and guidance I feel so excited. We walk up the Main Street side by side. As we walk I can smell and hear the humans blood pumping through their veins. Drax says “calm your thirst, even we are out in the open we must remain invisible”!    Drax starts to explain about being a vampire and drinking to survive in this society without being found out. “If you drink, you drink it all, no witnesses”. But….. I look at him as if what. “There is one or two places that humans go for money to feed us blood. But we only take a pint out of each person and never kill them”. 

   I ask him about what would happen if they spoke about it. Drax didn’t say anything he just ran his finger across his throat. “OK” I respond. I pass one homeless man begging by an old burnt out cafe. I sniff and think “man his blood smells sweet”. Drax crabs me by the arm and pulls me down an alley a few feet away from the beggar. Drax looks at me and his eyes turn orange and gold and shiny. His teeth start to show and his forehead becomes bumpy. I step back and get ready to fight Drax even though I know he could kill me. “Relax James, the beggar is your first kill”. I relax and breath deeply in relief. “I will draw the beggar away and while I stand near the alley way you come up behind him and drag him up here”. I look at Drax as I try and make it all sink in. “James….James, do you understand”. “Yes, let’s just do this” with that Drax walks off and now my adrenaline is pumping and I’m excited about it. The hunger is driving me crazy. I can hear Drax talking to the beggar, he is asking him if he would like to join him for a meal. The beggar sounds like he is agreeing and wants to join him. I set my self up and hide in the shadows. As Drax had said he stops by the entrance to the alley way and I slowly walk up behind the beggar. Placing my hand over his mouth I drag him down the alley way. He tries to scream but my hand muffles the sounds. Forcing him to his knees I look straight at him. 

   “Your eyes, there, there g-golden” 

   “Do it James, NOW” Drax commands. I bend down and sink my teeth into his neck with out thinking. The blood explodes into my mouth and it tastes like cold champagne but without the bubbles. Sucking hard the man shouts “help me, vampires, someone helllllp”. The beggar starts to flop and the blood starts to taste funny. Drax comes over and asks me to stop, “he’s dead the blood will taste like metal and dirt”. To my surprise Drax was write. I let go and watch him slump to the floor. I feel invincible from the inside. I want to do this again. Drax grabs my shoulder and tells me to dispose of the body. He will be over at the coffee shop over the road and he will wait for me there. I ask if he is going to help but Drax explains “a vampire must lean to dispose of his body count by himself” this is Drax law. 

   Picking up the body I feel that he is not heavy and sling him over my shoulders around my neck. I run to the end of the alley and come to a river. I put the guy in an old rag sheet that is covering some wood and wrap him in it. Placing rocks and bricks inside I toss him in the river. As I watch him sink fast I prey no one finds him near by. Rushing off to the end of the alley way I stop at the entrance and think. “I just killed a man”. This kind of saddens me but also doesn’t at the same time. Confusing thoughts rushing through my head. What to do. Stay and learn from Drax or go it my self. Drax sees me and stands up as if he knows what is going through my head. I suddenly hear his voice saying “don’t run, I’ll stop you. I can teach you to be a great vampire and hunt the evil vampires. We are the good vampires, we only kill to survive and not for sport”. I smile and walk over to him. Sitting down in the coffee he hands me a coffee and says to me “now the real training and fun begins. Are you ready for it”? 

   Whilst swimming out in the sea at Bournemouth I suddenly felt an under current pull me under the water. I did manage to pull myself above the water luckily. As I got my composure I felt something brush past me. Stupid as I am I dived down to see what it was. All I could see was a something shiny glimmer, in the shadow of what looked like a tail. I generally thought it was a fish. So I ignored it and went back up.
The next time I went swimming, a current pulled me down and I couldn’t get back up. I saw the glimmer again, his time it swam to me. While I was under water I saw that this fish was actually a human, well so I thought. As it got close to me it was half fish and the top half was human, a female human. I swam backwards and as it grabbed me I tried to scream and all the air disappeared from my lungs. To my surprise “she” didn’t try to hurt me. She instead pulled me down, I panicked I was losing air! 

   I tried wriggling out, but her grip was tight on my trunks. After what seemed like seconds I thought, “So this is the end..” but instead right before I blacked out I saw a castle deep down below me. Soon after blacking out I woke in an empty room on a huge bed. I bolt up and there sitting at the end of the bed is the beautiful fish person. I look at her but she has legs?????

   ” I am on dry land, that’s why I have legs” she informs me. I look out the window, I see the sea, I see..a civilization of mermaids and mermans. I turn to her. “Is this a submarine?” She thinks for a moment. “Hmm..something like that, let me show you.” She helps me up and we walk out of the room. We come to a huge glass room with a door to the outside. “You stay close to me and you will breath just fine, but if you swim away you will drown”. Looking a little scared and shocked she opens the door to the outside before I have time to answer. I jump as I wait for water but instead it’s just air, I stare confused at her but she looks ahead and starts swimming, holding my arm dragging me along. Many whispers among the crowd. “Human.. what’s a human doing here?…huh?…who’s he?..” everyone stares but I look ahead at the clear water. We stop. 

As I smelled the blood I turn my head and sense a person near by. I jump down from the tree and this hunger and animal instinct takes over me. My new friend follows me but at a small distance. I rush towards a small opening in the trees and see a man making a camp fire. I look at his worn out clothes and recognize him as the man chasing the wolf. I snarl and jump out of the clearing, without realizing it I turn to a werewolf and tackle him to the ground.   

   I snap my jaws at him, I form back to vampire and sink my fangs in his neck. His blood is flows through my mouth and then I feel it fill me with satisfaction. Once I am finished feeding on him I turn to my partner I crime and she is looking at me in shock. “What”? I say. 

   ” I have never known a vampire change back and forth to a wolf and vampire”. I look at her and I form my fangs back to look normal, my fur fades back into my skin. I zoomed back to the cave without another word, I felt her right on my heels.

   I stopped to a screech. Luke is just waking up. Luke rushes to his sister. ” Lucy, where you been”. I think now I know here name. Lucy says James is a ancient incubus, with this Luke looks scare but also happy as well. Lucy looks at me and says you can help us now we have you. ” what do you mean” I ask but he ignored me question. 

   Over the weeks I’ve been training with Lucy and Luke. Luke has been showing me moves how to fight when I form as a wolf. Lucy has been showing me the same thing but as a vampire. But none of them know how to control my forming. So in time I will learn about control of my forming. But for now I am to learn from a young boy who seems to know a lot about hunting as an animal (amazing) and a beautiful lady called Lucy on how to feed my blood thirst as a vampire. 

   Lucy tells me how powerful I will become. But I do not understand her, why do they always think that. One night, I was falling asleep when I heard hushed voices murmuring ahead. I crept closer and used my new hearing to hear their conversation. “The prophecy will come true, this boy will lead us to victory.” 

       Once I eventually wake up again feeling foolish, Drax is there sitting on a chair smoking and drinking a glass of red liquid. I slowly get up off the floor and see Drax. “Morning James “he says “how you feeling” I stand up and to be honest I feel great, thinking to myself. But then a sudden pain in my stomach which doubles me over. Drax explains that’s the hunger thirst. “Quickly drink this down” and he hands me a glass of red wine, well so I thought. It has an irony taste and it is thick and heavy in my mouth. Dam it, “it’s blood”, Drax laughs and says to me “welcome to your first day of being at the top of the food chain”.    I feel the pain subside and I feel amazing, healthy and strong. I feel like I could take on the would. Even though I have just drank the blood I still feel week. ” I don’t feel brilliant I feel week” I say to Drax. He explains it will take time as I am a new blood. Drax walks over to me and rips open his wrist and puts it up to my mouth. “drink” he demands in a stern voice. I slowly keep eye contact and drink from his wrist. WOW this rush hits me and I grab his arm tightly and drink like I never drank before. After five minutes it has made me feel like I am on a big rush. Drax pulls his arm away, well so he thought. I wasn’t going to let him. “James, James” with no response from me he punches me in the head, to force me to stop. I drop to the floor, blood smeared all round my mouth and low cheeks. I look up at Drax and snarl at him, like an angry animal ready to pounce on its prey. ” you need to take it easy James when you are just feeding. Don’t kill your food if you want to use it again”. I sadly nod like a naughty child. I now feel like I could take on the would and my strength feels amazing and I can hear all sorts of things, things I never heard before. Buzzing of a fly, the talking of people outside just to name a few things. “I will teach you how to hunt first” you need to feed regularly but if you are not going to feed from one regular blood slave you must kill your prey as they will change. 

   Drax looks at me as if you cross me I’ll kill you. With the recognition I back up and look around the room. I see a t- shirt on a chair which I put on. No I’m ready to go out. Drax orders me to wait until it is properly dark outside so you don’t get seen. We need the shadows to hide in when hunting. Do you think that when it comes to it you can kill your first human prey. Me being cocky nods and answers “without a doubt I say” but Drax just looks and smiles at me. 

Three hours pass by and Drax suddenly stands and says in a haunting voice “it’s time, are you ready for this”, I look up and stand next to him saying “born for it”. We both start to leave the building with a rush of excitement running through me we are off. 

Once Luke and I was lost we came across a cave, and as it started to rain we went inside to shelter. We had been in there for a while when a big wolf came rushing in as if it was being chased. Suddenly a man came running in after and attacked the wolf. In the process I got bit by the wolf on my leg. Seconds later a dark figure zoomed through, I caught the glimpse of red eyes and fangs right before it sunk its fangs into my neck and grabbed the wolf zooming off. I sat in shock, unaware of my wounds. I blacked out.. When I woke I was in a lot of pain but the wound from the wolf had clear up. Luke was passed out with a gash across his face. It was from the wolf and not long after he changed as did I. I said to her “sorry to hear that” , scowling at me she replied ” why you sorry it’s not your fault.” She snapped. I felt hurt, why was she mad? She walked towards me and touched my wound. The idea of a real life vampire touching me sent goosebumps, the idea of the vampire being a girl sent me jumping. I raised an eyebrow she rolled her eyes and healed my wounds. ” What’s it like to be a vampire”? I asked her. “Lonely ” came a sad reply. As we started to talk I started to feel pain running through my body. She asked me “are you ok”? I started to scream, ” I’m burning up it feels like larva”. She looked at me and said ” you been bitten” panic rose up in me, I felt a sharp pain in my mouth, then a sharp jolt in my bones, my jaw and bones screamed in pain. I yelled in pain curling up in a shaking ball.   

   I felt my fangs bare out as I freaked out pacing back and forth. “I’m a vampire!” 

   Slowly the pain subsides and I try to move and with movement my joints start to crack. Painful as it was it didn’t bother me. I stood up and felt good in myself. Suddenly I had this hunger come over me. My new friend said “you need to feed, lets hunt” . Teeth a show and off , i try to keep up with her as she zooms through the woods dodging the trees at great speed. She bounces off a tree and up to a higher branch. I watch in awe and try to do the same. She grabs my arm and helps me to the top of the tree. I have this third sense, I sniff..blood. 

Short story from Inkvite 

Once I actually come around I could barely see out my eyes. Everything was out of focus and the light seemed to be very bright. A voices comes from my left side saying “your eyes will adjust in time, as will you other senses” . I sit up out of fright, because I can’t see anything just figures and shapes. “Who’s there, who is it” I ask in a panicky voice.    “I am the man that has changed your life. Made you more than a man”. Comes his reply. 

   “Still I don’t know your name” I ask carefully. 

   “Sorry forgive me I am Drax, I am you mentor, trainer or guide.” Drax says to me in an excited voice. I ask him “why are you my guide what am I doing here. Why does my neck hurt”. Drax tells me to slow down with the questions and everything will be come clear in the next few days. 

   I run my neck as I feels saw, as I rub it I feel a slight twinge in my neck by no wound. I know he bit me on the neck. It is starting to all come back to me. I said to him ” I remember that you grabbed me then bit me on the neck and then I passed out”. Drax darts over to me that quick I didn’t see him move. Drax is staring straight into my eyes and I can’t do anything but look into his eyes. Which are a weird shade of orange, plus the smell of cigarettes. I think about what has happened and what I have seen I think about it and laugh to myself. Drax looks at me and says ” what’s funny”. I look at him and shake my head saying, ” everything tells me your a vampire”. With this Drax backs away and smiles. “Welcome to the other side James”. With that he hands me a metal wine goblet and tells me to drink from it. I do as he asks without thinking about it. As it happens Drax comes across as a lovely bloke. 

   Handing back the goblet I feel a surge of power rushing through my body. This is very painful but also nice. “You have just drank my blood, now you will finish the change” , looking at Drax I feel a pain all over and collapse to the floor. My eyes have just focused back, now they lose it again. Drax tells me as I lay on the floor, ” just ride along with it, don’t fight it”. The pain gets so bad I pass out again. 
Maybe I need to toughen up instead of passing out all the time. 

   “You will be a new breed when you wake up. A stronger, faster and more intelligent being when you wake. Now sleep” Drax explains as I am laying the passed out again. 

“Hi my names James. I want to tell you about my story”.    I am a bit of a loner when I lived in the real world. I was never happier than when I was by myself or just sitting in a coffee shop and watching people. The funny thing is, I don’t think anyone noticed me, just watching people. Some times I’d go to the coffee shop late in the evening as it closed around 23:00 most days. 

   Like I said I didn’t think anyone noticed me, until that night. I didn’t have many friends, but one man became a real friend, guide and mentor in time. As I watched people rush home from work or on the way to pubs or clubs I did notice one man across the street. He looked scruffy in clothing but something about his clothing I like. Kind of like Victorian but modern. He was there one minute and gone the next. When he was there he would be looking in my direction smoking a cigarette. The weird thing is I could see his eyes the most but they were a strange orange colour. 

   Once finishing my coffee I take me cup to the counter and say “thanks” the the waiter. Upon leaving I notice the man finishing his cigarette and squashing it out with his boot. I turn and walk off towards the side streets. For some reason I liked to walk down the quiet but spooky side streets. I suppose it’s because there are less people and it could be safer. How wrong was I. As I walked down it sounded like there was someone behind me but every time I looked , no one was there, just old news papers floating in the damp wind. The lights on the side streets were out but it didn’t bother me. As I walked the feeling someone was following me grew stronger. 

   Five minutes later I ducked down an alley way, the feeling of being followed disappeared. Much to my relief. Idid look back at one point and noticed a figure standing at the end of the alley where I had come from. I picked up my pace and like before he was gone. As I got to the end of the alley the man suddenly appeared and stood in front of me and smiled. With his smile he said “James, how are you tonight, this isn’t your usual way home”. 

   With that I asked him ” who the hell are you”? 

   With that question he just smiled and said ” you will find out in time”. 

   I tried to push past him shoving his shoulder out the way, I might as well have tried pushing a brick wall. With that push he grabbed me and saw him open his mouth and saw four big fangs coming out his mouth. Then a sharp pain in my neck. I could suddenly feel the life drain out of me. With I a few minutes I passed out. 

   This is how my new life begins. James will be no more. 

Short story on Inkvite

There is another world we here little about but we see a lot of on TV and in movies. It is the world of werewolves and vampires. We all think it is safe outside at night but there are creatures lurking in the shadow worlds. The other day I happened to see a quick reality of this . A glimpse of a patch of fur wiz through the woods. A flash of white sharp teeth run through the woods. At first I thought I was imagining things. With all the stories about the forest. But yet again something rushed past me and this time I screamed at it. 

   This big creature stopped and stood on its hind legs turned and looked at me. I stood there frozen, in fear but excitement rushed through me. The wolf walked towards me, and sniffed me. A vampire girl came out of clearing “Luke where are you-” she laid her eyes on the wolf. “There you are!” She stopped in her steps when she saw me. She had pitch black eyes and hair, I recognized the sharp fangs. She was the one I saw running. 

   Even though I was scared I managed to crack a smile at the beautiful vampire girl. “Who are you, and what are you doing here”? She demanded. Looking at her I tried to act brave and said in a cocky voice “why do you own this forest”? The wolf snarled at me then turned to a boy and stood beside the girl. My heart sank. “Relax were siblings.” The boy grunted, a sigh of relief washed through me. 

   The moon began to fall and the sun cracked through to the sky. The boy walked off, the girl winked at me then followed. I followed them just to see. The woman spoke to me and appeared to be as human as me. I asked about being a werewolf but she turned and scorned a look of death at me. ” I’m not a werewolf, I’m a vampire” 

   I apologised and asked how did she become a vampire and her brother Luke became a werewolf. She sighed and sat down on a tree stump, while Luke curled up beside her. “It started when we were just kids, in these forest.” Her voice sounded hushed as if someone may be listening. “I was in this forest with Luke.. 

Another collaboration story from Inkvite 

After a dream of being chased through the streets of London by a crazed man with a sword. I wake up in a hospital bed. At the foot of the bed I a nurse with a clip board staring at me. I look around and notice the windows are boarded up with a wire mesh. “Morning, about time you woke up” she smiled. “W-what happened?!” I asked sitting up. She pushed me back down. “Eh, easy there.” She pointed to my bandaged head. I held my head and laid back down. “What happened..” I ask slowly. “I don’t know ask the doctor when he enters.” She put the clipboard down. And with that she left the room. I try to get out of bed but one of my hands is cuffed to the bed. In walks a man dressed in black with a mask of a clown over his face. Wired I know but it makes me jump to a crouching position on my bed. As I do this the man changes to the doctor . He didn’t look “professional”. I tried moving but the cuffs were tight. “Sir please stop.” He said calmly. I stopped. “What happened? Why am I here?” He remembered the girl. “Where is she!” I struggled again. “Sir calm down!” He assured me. I shook my head refusing to let go. He threatens to inject me with a syringe he had in his hand if I didn’t calm. So as a good man I stopped. Next thing I know the room starts to change but the doctor notices this too ” shit, already ” he mutters. I look at him confused, as the changes happen he attempts to inject the syringe but I kick him off. I break free from the cuffs and run into the corridors. I see the girl run out into the same corridor, for a second we lock eyes. Then everything fades away, then I don’t see her anymore. The surrounding has changed and now I am back in the streets of London and now the man with the sword is standing there grinning. He shouts at me ” welcome back”. He looks like the man who was the doctor. Plus does everyone know what’s going on but me? I start to run off up the streets. It was so empty, as if it was just me and him. I fell as he lunged at me, taking me down. He stabbed his sword down and I moved my head aside. I heard a distant scream. I kicked him off and ran towards the shrill scream. I found the girl with the nurse who had a knife. 

I have written a short story from Inkvite. A collaboration 

I have just found a fantastic library in this deserted house. I broke into the house as it was stormy and raining very heavy outside. It’s OK , no one has lived hear for years. Looking through these books, waiting for the storm to pass, I come across a book called ‘The Book’. I picked up the book out of curiosity. I turned the page and everything around me faded away. It was as if I was in the story. With every word I began to understand, this story, this book, these characters. I was so fascinated by this, that I came everyday to read this book. 

   I would set the library up for my comfort, when reading. When I read The Book it felt as if I was going to another place. My surroundings changed, my worries disappeared, all my thought changed as if I wasn’t controlling them. Could a book really do this to you? 

Change ? 

   It was the end of the day, I was heading back to the library. I found the door wide open. A girl, who looked my age was reading The Book. She must’ve heard me, for she got up and ran away…with The Book. “Hey!” I yelled scampering after her. 

   “I’m not going to hurt you, I just want to read The Book” ,I called after her.

   With this she stopped at a distance from me and said ” what do you know of The Book” ? 

   I tried to explain but my words were getting jumbled up and she starts to laugh at me. With this I look away humiliated. “You know nothing-” “No!” I cut her off, she gave a stunned look. “All I know is that it takes me away from reality, my worries and troubles…vanish and-” “It’s like your in the story..” she says softly running her hand over The Book’s ancient looking cover. 

   ” what’s say we read the book together”? I ask her. 

   ” As long as we both hold the book at the same time” she says with an untrustworthy look. I give her a nod and we go back to the library and sit down. As she starts to read the book out, things start to happen around us , the world fades away as before but this time it’s even more powerful. I give a quick glance at her, her crystal blue eyes were focused on the words, her blonde hair began to float above her shoulders. I looked around and realized we were floating. I put my hand in the book.

I am a health care assistant of 20 odd years. I want to offer my services on de-escalation. Whether it be on call or 9-5  helping nurses Or police, just want to help people 

I’m sitting here and wondering about how much the public understands about mental health issues. 

I was out with a patient the other day and she wanted to get a bus into town. Which is only a ten minute walk into town. She had never taken a bus before, part of her exposure was to travel on a bus. So on the bus we sit there and there is an old person that keeps looking at my patient and her scars. This upset my patient. After speaking to her she calmed down. 

My point is, the public no matter how old they are, needs education. 

The patients have been through enough in their lives. It makes it even harder when the public look and judge their scars, which makes it appear that they are judging them. 

So more public information teaching and training is needed. Companies like NHS, hospitals and nursing agencies and possibly day centres for the elderly need understanding. 

Just my own opinion. Just need someone to talk to them explain the possible reasons behind the self harm and scars. 

Please leave comments and opinions 

I have found that I really do enjoy writing. It could be about anything from stories, pure fiction, everyday observations or just little rants. 

The other month I started to buy a magazine called Writers’ Forum

I have found this magazine a great help.  It is full of brilliant advice, with information on competitions, courses, printers and editors just to name a few. 

This has inspired me to carry one writing my supposed novel. It’s difficult just to show someone what I have written for advice. The sort of thing that can guide me in the right direction. 

I know my grammar and punctuation needs work but I’ll get there in the end. What would be nice is selfish people taking to heart the things I write about when I write about mental health. People slate my writing…..it’s a story nothing else ok. I know what I am writing about I have work in mental health for over fifteen years. So if you don’t like what I have written, stop and don’t read any more. 

I have worked in mental health for a good few years. I have come across some great things and some  upsetting and disturbing things. I understand that some things are not under the control of the person involved. But it is when you come across that particular one that tries to fake it for an easier life sentence. 

I can deal with patients that are highly aggressive and want to hurt people due to voices and hallucinations. 

Give me a ward full of psychotic patients, and highly dangerous people. But when I get to deal with adults that say yes when you say no, who sit when you say stand. I love my job and that’s why I have done it for over thirty years. It is a great thing when you get a patient discharged to home or a lower secure placement. Home visits are the best emotional thing you can go through in nursing. 

You will learn how to deal with confrontation, aggression and your confidence will build a lot. You will build new skills and abilities while working in mental health. 

LITTLE RANT

It amazes my with the attitudes of some drivers, over in the UK. I had a journey the other week, driving across Europe and I drove about 980km one way. I drove through France, Germany and Czech Republic and border of Slovakia. 

There were times when you could hit high speeds on the German motor way. No one had any accidents or near misses, people were respectful of one another while driving. No honking of horns or road rage. I felt so much safer driving in Europe than what I do over here. 

Of course I drove the same way back and 27 hours later I’m back in the UK. As soon as I’m on the motor way people are tail gating, flashing their lights,like your in their way. I had one van nearly end up hitting my rear passenger side bumper. When I come into a city of the motor way I pull up to some lights and get some moron cut me up at the lights in a Larry. 

Come on people what is going on. We need to be a lot more respectful of one another while driving. People are in to much of a rush to get to places. If your running late try getting up ten minutes earlier. If you rush to much, accidents will happen. In the accidents it’s always the innocent ones that suffer. 

SLOW DOWN and BE NICE. 

Ideal Job

I often sit and wonder about what would be my ideal job. I have thought about many different types of work I could do, but the main thing that sticks in my head is something to do with writing.

I have written a few small articles on different types of fashion for men and women and I have had them published by an online fashion magazine and a modelling website. Big hurray for me. Plus I have started writing about little things that happen in life, which a lot of people seem to enjoy reading. I really would be interested in writing small articles for a news paper or online company about ‘the everyday’ stuff that goes on around the world.

The only thing is I am not a professional writer or novelist and my grammar and spelling could do with improvement. I am in the middle of writing about a man called Jack who works in mental health as a health care assistant. He mainly works in different hospitals over the country. It is all fiction and none or events actually happened.

So if I got any of these paid jobs so I could work from home or an office I’d be happy as Larry. Plus getting what I’m paid now would be good.

Any way people that’s my rant and dream for the day. Hope you all have a great day.

It amazes me how many of us people can drive, some good and some bad, no ones perfect. But when it comes to people parking in front of a house on a terrest street, people lose there common sense. You come across people that park half way in a parking spot. People that feel the need to double park in a street that is small enough anyway. Then you get the selfish parkers that can’t park anywhere else but right outside their house. When doing this they will park right in the centre of a space that is easily enough for tw cars and leave nothing for anyone else. 

Come on people get your common sense together and think of being polite when it comes to parking. Plus you never see a traffic warden when you get stupid drivers parking.  

Well that’s my little rant done for now. 🤓

This is not meant to offend or upset people. 

It amazes me in this world, how people will have babies. Then as they start to grow up the ones that are supposed to care, love, cherish and protect them turn round and commit horrific acts of violence of all sorts. They are small innocent CHILDREN for f#*+s sake. Then the children end up hurting themselves or others or even worse, ending it all. Why do people feel the need to do this to such innocence. 

Why leave you baby/s in a bloody car on a hot day. Even for a minute is stupid. Come on people think of the innocent ones before your needs 

It amazes me that no matter what dipravity is going on in the world. People still find time to go and blow up restaurants, shoot innocent children, shoot people sunbathing on beaches and this is due to what? You can’t tell me this was not foreseen in the huge crisis of people fleeing other countries. Governments have a lot to answer for. It’s just my opinion. Not meant to offend anyone. If I do sorry. Where are the weapons and money coming from ? I’d like to know

I am not a man of big action or bravery but what if people tried to overtake where I live. What would you do? Is it not long before Great Britain  starts to see this trouble.

I would love to work for a company? who tracks down the trouble makers and arrests them.

It is getting to the point we see on the news now that every week we are seeing attacks on the innocent people, people of the world with no defence getting killed and slaughtered.

Enough on this now.

I am a peaceful man and help out people that have troubles in the world, whether it be physically inputted or mentally. I have come across some distressing stories in my job.

What I write about is nothing factual it is all fictional, so if you are offended by what I write please don’t read or follow. I have had enough of people slating me saying I am a bully boy of mental health. People don’t know me or what I do for a living and I have a positive and good impact on people’s lives in my job.

Everything I write is pure fiction so please remember this, when you come to comment.

Just a quick question to my followers. Which do you prefer the mental health FICTION or the other story I wrote…. Nowhere. ????

As I am being help while Orion gallops along in the forest at an amazing speed it feels like he is gliding along. Out of nowhere there appears a huge ginormous tree, which looks totally out of place. It must be over a hundred foot tall and over three hundred feet round. Orion speeds up along with his companions,    

   “Orion, the tree, you going to hit the tree” 

   Orion starts to laugh as we get closer and closer to the tree. I start to scream, as I’m thinking he’s going to kill me. All of a sudden a brilliant light comes from the tree like a doorway into the tree. I screw my eyes shut, it is a bright light to be fair. When I think it is over I open my eyes and I am in shock. It appears to be another place I have come. Orion stops running and says we are here now. Orion turns to one of his soldiers and says, 

   “Tell Mother Nature we found the human” 

   “Sir” replies the soldier and he heads off in the other direction. 

   I remain in shock and mumble to Orion “where are we”?

   Orion laughs and says ” for now you only need to know you are nowhere” 

   “What the hell do you mean nowhere” I bluntly demand. 

   Orion just smiles and reaches out his hand as if to say walk this way. As we walk there are little winged people, to be honest they look like fairies flying around me. Buzzing in my ear as they fly by. Sounds like they are laughing too as if they are trying to tease me. I see more half fury humans like Orion and his soldiers. There are little, what appears to be men and women, but also looking like flowers wondering around me. But at a safe distance as in an animal sniffing out something inquisitive. I crouch down and sit on the floor so not to appear threatening towards them. I look up at Orion in amazement and wonder, it’s like something out of that film Firngulley or Arthur and the invisibles. 

   “Where is this place”? I ask Orion.

   “Nowhere” he replies. 

   Orion suddenly demands me to stand up. All the mystical creatures scurry away from me. Just as they were getting close to me. I look around and see a stunning beautiful woman. She is dressed in a long flowing Green dress and appears to have outlines of plants and flowers over her skin that is visible. This woman appears to be gliding along, not actually touching the ground. I look and stare at her at her amazing beauty. This woman keeps constant eye contact with me. When she gets to about five feet away from me she looks over at Orion, who appears to be bowing his head. Just like meeting royalty. I stand up and smile at the woman who says, 

   “I’m Mother Nature, pleasure to meet you Jon” 

   “How you know my name” 

   “We have been looking for you for a long time” 

   “S… So… Sorry what you on about”. 

   I look over at Orion and he looks back as if to agree with Mother Nature. 

   “What you mean I’m like a prophecy or something”? 

   Mother Nature and Orion both look at each other and nod in agreement with my question. So I ask her where I am and as predicted, 

   “Nowhere” 

   I ask “so this place is called nowhere”? 

   “Yes, we are between worlds, your would and three other worlds” 

   Sitting back down, as this is a lot to take in for me. Mother Nature asks Orion to take me to the lodge and let me relax and eat. 

   “Follow me” orders Orion. 

   I slowly get up and follow Orion to the hut like place with three walls and a huge window in the back wall. Open front as in no doors. Orion points and tells me to enter and eat. 

   ” Please stay Orion, I’m actually struggling to take in what’s going on” 

   Orion looks and smiles at me and enters the building with me. I tell him “thanks”.

There has always been stories about how you should never go into the forest on you own, especially at night. I’m standing in front of the forest now, looking left and right but not managing to see the ends of the forest. The trees of the forest appear to be blocking my view when I look towards the sky. I think to myself that the forest didn’t look this vast from the edge of the field. Me being foolish enter the forest and look all around and all I see is trees, bushes blowing in the wind. But the was no wind out side the forest. Hearing the trees cracking and leafs rustling in the wind, sounds as well as moaning coming from the forest. Are the trees trying to tell me something?    I walk for about ten minutes and now it is getting just a little bit spooky in hear. But hey it’s just the wind in the trees right? The wind sounds like it is trying to make music in the air going between trees and bushes and with the echo , dam it spooky. Suddenly the wind disappears and silence. Not a rustle of leafs, a crack of a branch or a moan of a tree. Now this is even more spooky. Wishing I hadn’t bothered now I turn round to face the way I came but somehow it seems different. Panic starts to set in, maybe the stories are true about this forest. I hope I am heading back the way I came but now it sounds as if someone or something is following me. I pick up my pace a little, like I’m on a fast stomp. Rustling in the bushes is happening more and more. I know I’m being followed. Dam it I think to myself, why? The noise of being followed goes past me, I stand still and try to see what or who it is. I can barely see through the the thick vegetation of the woods. I take in a sharp breath in freight, what has ran past me through the vegetation is what can only be described as a man on all fours galloping. But the weird thing is he had fur over his shoulders and legs. But I only caught a glimpse of the man. I am really starting to get worried now. What the hell is that thing? 

   Running the other way I can hear it running back at me, “Oh bloody hell” I’m repeatedly saying to myself. All of a sudden this creature jumps out in front of me and screams “STOP” with fright I stop and start to shake with fear. This thing, this man? Is standing in front of me. Getting off all fours he stands up straight, he must be about 7ft tall. Fur over his shoulders, little on the top of his chest and covered in fur from the waist down. I was at least expecting hooves but no, just weird long feet. I look up at this man and give him a scared smile. 
“What are you doing in these woods? This is a sacred place”. 
“Just going for a walk” I reply. 
“Humans are not permitted to enter the woods, it is a crime to enter here”
“Crime on who”? I ask in a questionable manor. 
“Mother Nature”
“Why you laugh at this? ” he asks. 
I stop laughing as I think I may of offended him and just shake my head. This man thing says 

“I am Orlon, Mother Natures head guard. You must come with me” 
“Err no I don’t think so”

Orion grabs me by the arm and holds me tight in his arms. Off he gallops but this time on his hind legs. 

As we are rushing through the forest I see about ten other creatures all looking like Orion, heading the same direction. Where are they taking me???? 

One great session tonight. Loved it. 

Just finished my next story about Jack. It is called Gruesome, have a read and let me know what you think. Don’t forget I’m not a professional writer. 

Many thanks
