Looking for a Fight

Posted on March 20, 2011 by fakedtales

“What about him?” Mark pointed at a guy in a tracksuit and hoodie.

“I’d rather he didn’t look like he could pull a knife on me, and it’s crowded.”

“You’re just being picky now.”

Looking for a Fight is this week’s short story.

Enjoy!

The Devil Demands Cupcakes

The Devil Demands Cupcakes

New story!

So the devil turns up at my door.

“Hi,” I say.
“Hello,” he says, smiling. “I’m the devil.”
“I guessed. You’re not really doing much new with the look, are you?”
“I demand a cupcake.”

I look at him for a moment, “Don’t you mean a soul?”

Get the whole story of The Devil Demands Cupcakes!

Welcome

Posted on March 5, 2011 by fakedtales

Welcome to Faked Tales.

I’m an aspiring writer, with only a few role-playing adventure credits under my belt. My main focus is prose and I intend to use this site as a place to post some of my short fiction. I also plan on putting up a few articles about varied topics. This could vary from some biographical pieces to articles on current media which inspires me through brilliance or sheer wrongness, and updates on my quest for publication.

Faked Tales

Why faked tales? I’ve been going through my short stories and realised that even my pieces grounded in reality aren’t quite real. My main areas have been dark fairy tale style slipstream stories, post apocalyptic comedy set in Brighton and completely fictional accounts of things which didn’t happen to me. As the tagline says, Real stories of things that never happened.

Enjoy,

Charles Etheridge-Nunn
