The Stream

by Mark D. Radford

When the Stream started to flow, and the waterfall became active. The memories of the dark side of Mount Red came flooding back for the locals. There was a conspiracy from the day that Ron Knight took residence of the Black House, things changed in Mount Red. It appeared that wherever there was a presence, the Stream would become active once more. Evicted from their last home, Violet, Danny, and son Shaun Andrews moved into the house next door, number thirteen. Just like the Black House, it was left abandoned for many years. Violet and Danny were determined to make this their home. Even more so after hearing about the stories told of the past by the locals. No matter how hard the family tried to keep these stories away from each other to prevent fear, their biggest problem was still to come. It was the day when their ambitious son Shaun learned about these stories from his friends. They had already been warned to stay away from the place. Once the Andrew’s family moved in, the Stream started to fill, and the water began to flow. The historical stories told have rocked the community for many years. Shaun was determined to prove these theories wrong. Could the stories told be proved to be factual? Or could Shaun prove to those around that the history of Mount Red was just one big fallacy? Find out in this short story of Suspense, murder, a few twists, and one determined boy who is determined to rewrite the history of Mount Red.

About the author

I started writing in 2004. This has since become my hobby. The books that are currently available are Identified, Revenged, Distant Cries, The Lift (Short Story) and Maggie.

At present, I am currently writing my latest novel called "Touched" of which will be released later this year.

I do not have a facebook account, but do have a link to Twitter @holte77 and my own website - www.markdradford.co.uk.

Like most authors, the big time is the ultimate dream. I am by no means a professional writer and certainly no proof reader, but somebody who has a few stories to tell.
It is nice to be able to switch off and away from any negatives on a day to day basis and then drift off into my own space to write.

A writing course educated me in thinking that nothing is poor, nothing is bad. The people that reflect on such things are purely suggesting that their opinion differs to others.

Also, a writer should not write for the view of others, a writer should write for themselves and they will eventually create their own audience.
