Hello, 

Welcome to 'Benchs: Stories and Tall tales'; named so, as I hope to use this page to post and showcase my latest endeavour.........short stories and the odd elaborate tale. 

As I write this particular post, I have only made one attempt at writing any kind of story.  The story, 'Treasure Hiding' was written out of my desperate need to do something, anything, creative. It was the new year and I didn't have a laptop to entertain me. So, I started writing, free hand, and fell in love with it. 

I will look to post my story 'Treasure Hiding' up here shortly. The story itself is based upon the standard breakup experience that most of us go through, and how one mid-twenty year old decides to deal with his 'heartbreak'. That description alone makes the story sound watered down and lame, which is exactly what I was going for.  And, purely out of my inexperience as a writer, a watered down lame attempt is what emerged. Besides, its probably been written before, and alot better, and I've been too naive to realise. Oh well.

That aside, I'm actually quite proud of 'Treasure Hiding' (named after a stunning Cocteau Twins track, which half inspired me to write the story) as it means alot to me, and yes, its based on personal events, but the best ones always are, right?!

Any ways, I'll post the story soon, so please have a read and see what you think.  Please feel free to message me, or comment on what you think.  Any feedback will be greatly received and valuable. 

Now, sit back and relax, and let me spin you a yarn.......................
