 Hello, my name is Richard Gray. Welcome to the fiction section of my website. This page will have links to some of my short works of fiction for people to read for free. My writting typically falls into the categories of either Science ficiton, Fantasy, Horror, or humor. The Piaculum, my first published novel, available this March, has a strong spiritual component to it, but falls under the category of Dark Fantasy or Horror. Most of my shorts, however, fall into the category of humor (humor thats typically a little deranged). I think humor should be short and sweet but good speculative fiction needs a little longer to draw you into a new world. Some of the writting here will be appropriate for all readers, some will not. I plan to rate each story for content so that readers can be forwarned if something might offend them.

This page will be constantly under construction as I add new stories, so please check back often. If you would like to be put on a mailling list to be notified when new additions are made, just contact me here .

Enjoy,

Richard Gray

 


Sci-Fi

The Last War, rated PG-13. COMMING SOON. I wrote this one a while ago and I am in the process of typing it up. It is PG-13 for violence and the use of explitives. I plan on posting it in 3 parts. In a not so distant future Parker McKenzie, an artist drafted into the military when the U.S. is in the middle of loosing a war, becomes an unlikely hero when he and a small group of soliders are sent on a mission to protect a group of scientists working on alien technology that could have the power to turn things around.


Children's Fantasy

The Cap and the Quest, rated G. Illustrated. I wrote this story for my nephew's birthday. Ages 4 and up will love to have it read to them. Ages 8 to adult will love to read it themselves. Description: For Aaron's birthday his mysterious uncle living in New York sends him a box with a red hat in it and a note telling him to take it to his basement. When he does, a portal to another world opens up, and Aaron and his brothers Ben, Nathan, and Adam must help a group of elves defeat an evil ice queen that plauges their land.


Dark Fantasy

The Once and Future King Rated R for strong, adult language and violence. Please only read this if gun and sword violence,adult and racial language will not offend you. Forty years in the future New York City is plauged with racial hatred and gang violence, but that's not the only problem. Supernatural forces have brought the sorceress Morgana La Faye and a host of demons and dark knights into our world in an attempt to take over the mortal realm. The only person who can stand in their way is Nick Rey, a Mexican teenager who is the reincarnation of King Arthur. The only person who can protect Nick long enough for him to be ready for the challenge ahead of him is a wizard named Morriund who came from Avalon at a high price. This is a work in progress and may turn out to be of novel length.


Horror

Play Ground, rated PG-15. COMMING SOON. It is PG-15 for violence, explitives, and tense moments. I wrote this a long time ago and still need to type it up. A group of boys playing in a junkyard accidentally commit a crime so horrible they'll do anything to cover it up.


Humor :)

The Cosmic Implications of Two Quarters in a Sandwich Bag , PG. I think the title says it all (a little odd). Click the title to read.


Jayda The Mighty, PG-11. Mild use of a few explitives, mild sexual humor, you'll see much worse on network T.V. This may be considered "guy" humor, feminists might be offended. A father tells his daughter a bed time story about her hero "Jayda the Mighty", but this isn't your regular fairy-tale. Click the title to read.


Night of the Little FatMen, PG-11. Horror/Humor. Mild use of explitives, intense moments, mild sexual humor, you'll see much worse on network T.V. After a cartoonist insults his halloween date, she reveals the fact that she is really an evil witch (he thought it was the costume) and curses him that everything he loves will turn against him. What happens if the things he loves most are his cartoon creations? Click the title to read.
