The Loyalty Trap Explore the moral collapse of Alan Clayford, a "steady" worker trapped between corporate corruption and family survival. This gripping short story deconstructs the cost of compliance, the weight of a guilty conscience, and the hollow comfort of religious platitudes when faced with a life-altering choice in the workplace.

Alan Clayford spent his life being the "steady one," until a single signature turned his loyalty into a trap. A haunting look at the high cost of playing it safe. 🖋️⚖️

Excerpt taken from Between Stops:

There were mounds of dirt in preparation for the building of something. Something was always being built.

Monthly Writing Prompts Challenge #4 – Liberate After dropping the ball last month, I'm back with a story I'm happy with for Monthly Story #4. This is Liberate, my latest shot at a dystopia. Lately, I've been feeling quite helpless, especially in the face of everything going wrong in the world. I've also found myself quite frustrated with people. People in general I mean. It seems that most of the population are blind to attempts to squeeze us dry while giving us scapegoats to be angry at, but really am I doing anything more than them?

New month, so new Monthly Writing Prompt Story from me. This month's story is called 'Liberate'. Click here to see what made me write this dystopian tale.

Screeech and groan, groan and screech and groan. The wind they said. The windy city likes to talk as it goes by, its victim the decrepit crane. Every holiday it would regain life carrying flags and banners for the occasion. Creaking unsteadily as it held its prize 1/2? #vssdaily #writing #shortstory
