Lequoia
and the Mai-coh
Fjords Literary journal features a recording
of Steve's own voice reading his story 'Lequoia
and the Mai-coh,' which centres around the
symbiotic
relationship between a golden eagle
and a
wolf.

The
Birthday
 Another birthday.
My thirty-seventh. Somehow, there seemed great significance attached
to my being thirty-seven. There were famous figures in history who
didn’t quite kick-off their careers till they were thirty-seven.
George Barnard Shaw was one of them; that I knew. And there
were others too, but I couldn’t think of any. I’d do a Google on
them later.

High
Flyer
 MOST of all
Isabel noticed his hands.
They were
good hands, dark-skinned, kind hands, but capable,
too. It
took huge effort during the 20-minute journey home not to glance
directly at his face again. When the sound of the engine shifted, as
the train roared through the short tunnels, she watched his window
reflection watching hers.

On
The Seventh Day
While Ellie
scraped the razor down his cheekbone to his jaw, he tried to
synchronise his breathing with hers. Her breath caressed his face.
The nerve twitching at the side of his head pulled his reluctant
eyes towards his own reflection in the bathroom mirror.

The
Panicked Rat
Christmas
Eve: cold and sparkling. Happy faces.
Children’s voices, like chirping birds,
twittering about Santa. And the shoppers
smiling and simpering their apologies for
getting in each other’s way.
