The first “penny dreadful for your iPhone”, Steampunk Tales, willl be publishing my story, Cubes, in issue 14. I recommend you buy some back issues, too, as it’s a very cool magazine, and of course available in other e-formats for around the price of a cup of coffee (or less, depending on where you live!)
Cubes is about an inventor obsessed with the idea of solving the problem of randomness and chaos in the world – with very peculiar consequences. Here’s how the story begins:
Cubes
When Stapleton witnessed the trolleybus accident that killed six people and injured ten more he was struck by a notion that refused to budge even now, two months on, like a sliver of meat jammed between a gap in his teeth.
The notion, or idea if you will, was this. Had he been on the opposite pavement he would have died as surely as the woman and two children exiting Millward’s department store.
