By day I'm a video game consultant, and I also volunteer at the German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund - the charity that rescued the dog I adopted last year. I've also recently started compiling a website covering the history of the village I live, although I'm hoping to draw in some help for that project! Here is scratchpad when I need it, and a place for my personal projects. It's also an archive from back when this was was my writing blog.

ABC Drabbles of Death - E is for Eviscerate
We continue the macabre journey through the alphabet with the latest in the ABC Drabbles of Death series. This week we reach the letter 'E' and while it's an obvious choice it was a lot of fun to write! If you haven't read the previous drabbles in the series then you can read them all here:

E is for Eviscerate
These days I prefer to use a hook. I started with a knife and that works fine. Too easy for my taste, I like there to be some skill. A hook takes more effort, a good swing to get it in, and then a yank to pull everything out.
There’s a knack to not nicking the bowels on the way in, not a pleasant smell if you do I can tell you!
The highlight for me is watching them weep and try to stuff everything back in. How it all ever fit inside is a wonder if you ask me.
A great word: eviscerate, full of promise and many pages of fun.
