To the edge of reality ... and beyond! Podcast

You have important things to get on with in your life, but first, why not spend a few minutes going .... To the edge of reality ... and beyond! A collection of short stories, mostly with an unexpected twist at the end, in the beginning, or nowhere to be seen! Some of these stories were written in the early 1980's on an Amstrad PC, and have migrated as I upgraded. Others are still on hard disks with ST506 interfaces, for which I no longer have support or lost in the mists of time. Others are on DAT tape and might be recovered - and I may well write more - so come back and look again later!

    Minicab Ride Home

    A short Action/Adventure story with a twist.  The "Minicab Rides Home" in the form you find it here was originally prepared on hard disk and released as a short story on the Amazon Kindle in 2011. The story started life in about 1984, on a 5 1/4" floppy disk. and was, then, much longer.  In about 2006, it was transferred to 3 /1/2" floppy, and split into this version - about rags to riches, and using it to get away  - focussing on Action and Adventure - and another version, known at the time as "Elbow Straitens Up" - the character represented by Thomas here, was known as "Elbow" in the other version, which was getting the money, and more about spending it - with a focus on philosophy and culture.  I read this onto an SD card in the lock down of 2020, and I think my voice is slightly affected by Covid-19. This is living proof that a good story can outlast technology many times over!
