It's always exciting to watch a character come to life. When I'm writing I love seeing how they react to their environment, how they adapt. You also, generally at least, have a pretty clear vision of what that character would look like. When I wrote the main character...

The Long Night… They dragged me in chains across the hard stone of the square to the Reaper. I thought they had already taken everything from me. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I saw the crumpled bodies of my mother, father and brother piled together among countless...

‘Act Like A Lady ‘ – A Poem

by Catherine Rose Gunther | May 31, 2018 | Poetry | 0 Comments

I was told to act like a lady. To sit down and shut up. To stay silent. I was told to act like a lady. To be obedient and subservient. To be polite. I was told to act like a lady. To do what he says and he will be kind. To do what he wishes. I...

‘Mirror, Mirror’ – A Poem

by Catherine Rose Gunther | March 16, 2018 | Poetry | 0 Comments

You are just out of reach, A beautiful dream, A ideal I wish to hold tight. I’ve seen what lies beyond the surface, I’ve seen you fight, That battle between heart and head. I know you, You know me, We will find a way. I find comfort when I see...

‘Hollow’ – A Poem

‘Death is Kind’ – A Poem

by Catherine Rose Gunther | February 9, 2018 | Poetry | 0 Comments

Death is kind and cruel when she decides it's time, She brings enternal peace and heartache. Your pain is quickly whisked away, While theirs is just begining. Life gave you time to see things through, To dream, to laugh, to live. But even she cannot help you, When...

‘Witch’ – A Poem

All that glitters sure aint gold, Like the pitchforks coming down the road. All the fires, Burning, burning. You ordered the witch hunt, But you didn't think they'd come for you. You ordered the witch hunt, But I only ever spoke my truth. Unlike you. I didn't hide how...

Welcome to Hell: #2 – Moving Day

Mr Hades Smith truly is an unusual character. Ahead of moving in today he tried to pay his rent and bond to me in solid gold coins. Somehow it didn’t occur to him that bank transfer is a thing. Seriously, who tries to pay you in gold? We don’t live in medieval times...

I knew when I advertised for a new housemate three weeks ago I’d get all sorts knocking at my door wanting to move into the place. Every man and his dog, cat, fish, snake and iguana. Yes, someone actually had a pet iguana. I think his name was Jason. I’ve gone through...

Alex stumbled into the only open store he could find just as the snow storm started to worsen, trying to get somewhere warm to wait it out. It was a quaint little bookshop on the corner of Main and 5th that felt so out of place amongst the built-up city surrounding...

He never asked about the scars on her back. He knew she’d never tell him. He'd long ago given up hope that after several months she might start to open up. But she never did, she never spoke. Not once. He knew what he did of her now as he did all those years ago. Yet...
