    About this ebook

    1. Three people are about to have a very bad day. All of them different to the other. All of them destined to come together in a situation of circumstance.

    2. She wakes to the a brightly lit room, her lover’s mouth inches from hers. It’s going to be a wonderful day... Her thoughts are becoming clearer now, and pierce the early morning dullness. But this man above her is not her husband. Her wrists are bound. Her life is in danger.

    3. When is a thief not a thief? When he is backed into a corner and threatened. Then he kills.

    4. The summer sunshine bakes the sandy shore and the face of a newly sculptured man by the small hands of a ten year old boy take shape. Something miraculous happens. The face can see, smell and taste!

    5. When people first appear in the box they are confused. Slowly they come to realize why they have been brought here and their purpose. However, occasionally something goes wrong and the system must back up until that person can be expelled from the metal room and continue the life they were supposed to lead.

    6. My home is a sanctuary. My wife makes me crazy. The people at the door need to die.

    7. He steals and enjoys the challenge. Orphaned on the streets and left in the poorest part of the kingdom city, the boy (almost a young man) has created quite a name for himself within the lowliest of the city’s people.

    8. Beer. He wants more, but he can’t see straight. He also needs to piss. The pattering of urine sings out into the night against the side of a car. In the distance he can hear someone yelling at him. Someone is coming for him.

    9. Plagued by a distinct and frightful nightmare, Joshua is unable to get back to sleep. In two hours he has to get up for work. He tries to sleep again, but the scratching coming from his front door is too scary to ignore.

    Mat Clarke

    From an early age, Mat has used a keyboard as his instrument of expression. His range is broad, from the chilling, to the obscure, to fan fiction, to thought provoking, to children’s and YA, and a not too small amount of speculative fiction. Yet, his main area of interest always comes back to the thriller genre. Check out this page for more free stories and writing competitions: www.worldwriterscollective.com You may have seen him tapping away in a cafe, bar, on the train, in a plane, in Melbourne, Sydney, Sunshine Coast, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, and the list goes on. This is where he gets his ideas, from you, the streets, and what goes on around the world. Non-fiction work has mostly been inspired by health issues affecting friends and family, as well as the rest of the world, and to make solutions readily acceptable to the public, especially when the ailment is embarrassing. Letter writing has also been a heavy contributor to Mat’s skills, whether it be to government bodies or a company, either to request information on a current associated issue or to offer a solution to an ongoing problem with (if a local government) traffic, public transport, spending, banks, etc. And (if a company) an idea for the product so that it could become better accepted by consumers, or in some cases, healthier for consumers. With a few novels completed, a couple of health booklets, a writing games book, a board game, as well as children’s stories, young adult, and a multitude of short stories, you can expect to see a lot more work by Mat Clarke in the short term as well as the long term. In Mat’s spare time, he is an actor, builds hand-made furniture, and is an entrepreneur within multiple fields. He enjoys bush walking, hiking, camping, but also loves big cities; New York being his favourite. He is a movie buff, and also loves good pizza. Theatre Street Melbourne is a new show written, directed, and produced by Mat Clarke: melbourneoutabout.com
