Relativity and the Lobster - http://www.rjdent.com
Here’s a short story I’ve written entitled Relativity and the Lobster.
I was inspired to write Relativity and the Lobster after reading a story by Samuel Beckett.
If you enjoy reading Relativity and the Lobster, then there are more of my short stories available to read at http://www.rjdent.com/shortstories.htm
Here’s a short story I’ve written. It’s called The Origins of Goatboy.
I’ve always wanted to write a Pan story, and The Origins of Goatboy really gave me the opportunity to examine the mythical origins of the goat-boy in a semi-humorous way, but without having to gloss over the serious and brutal aspects of the era Pan was starting to have an influence on.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading The Origins of Goatboy. I certainly enjoyed writing it.
There are several other short stories of mine available to read at http://www.rjdent.com/shortstories.htm
Enjoy.

The House of Asterion
Walk through the coolness of my ancient house;
reflect on how I’ll be the death of it
one day. We are not one; each of us is sought out
for what we can – uniquely – give the world.
Such obvious wealth assaults the more refined.
The plane trees do not deflect the sea-spray
that lashes the courtyards; that stings my eyes,
extinguishing the sights that were on fire…
My patience is a thread at breaking point…
I rule my lands with velvet-covered fists.
I’m going to kill the chosen one and leave
the bones strewn as a sign of what’s to come…
