    About this ebook

    Bog often sits up here on the roof of the community centre. It’s his haven. His safe place. Away from big brothers and daily strife. He sits up here and listens to the community groups which meet there through the dirty skylights, discussing grown-up woes and worries which thirteen-year-old Bog only half understands.

    Today though, there’s a new group meeting at the centre. A small crowd of misfits claiming to be Buddha, God, Thor, Momma E and a range of minor deities are meeting to talk through their worries and their anguish and Bog is witness to their strange delusion.

    Because they must be deluded.

    Right?

    Edgar Million

    Edgar Millions books are mostly sci-fi, with a dash of fantasy, horror and contemporary fiction thrown in.I have numerous stories available on Smashwords all free of charge and one short novel, A Button To Save the World (available for a miniscule fee - or for free to anyone who follows me on Twitter and asks for it).I grew up in London and studied Art and Animation at Central St Martins and Surrey Institute of Art and Design, and thanks to Smashwords have finally found something to do with all the short stories I write to distract me from the novel I'm now attempting to edit.The novel, my first full length book, is going to be called “Ordinary” and would have published already if I didn't keep being interrupted by regularly having to attend a day job to earn money.

      The After

      He is sitting opposite me, staring blankly like a dead fish. Stone eyes. Cobalt and lifeless. Pale gray skin, dripping scales. I imagine him hauled out of the water and dumped on the riverbank, gasping for breath. Just as he deserves. I only agreed t

      Jul 10, 2021

      I met the Devil today. He was walking down main street, right by the undertaker in B____, which is a little town near here, and which, for obvious reasons, I’d better not name. I recognized him straight away because he had furry legs with hooves for

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      "Quit questioning God and start trusting Him!"

      ― Joel Osteen

      God is a vicious little fucker, a voice announced, waking Bogumil with a start, dark eyes blinking in the hot urban sun, trying to work out where he was and who was speaking with such a voice; deep, booming, seeming to shake the tarmacked roof which he sat upon, then it continued, and on the odd day he can be be honest with himself, he knows it.

      Will this be one of those days though? asked another voice, gentle, foreign sounding.

      The boy twisted and looked around, reloading his surroundings. Two empty tins of beer, snuck out of the box Dad kept on the floor by the fridge, crumpled onto the rough surface, a Gregg's sausage roll, the wrapper anyway, discarded on the floor, along with a magazine borrowed from a box Dad kept on top of the wardrobe, the one he thought no one knew about; pictures of plump naked women printed on thick matt paper; images maybe thirty years old, surrounded by writing he couldn't read, wearing poses he hadn't experienced yet.

      He was sitting on a flat roof, The Roof, Bogumil’s favourite hiding place when he wanted some space, some freedom from his two brothers
