Marcus Foxwell

"I have been writing pretty much since high school really. It's something that I've always enjoyed and has kept me sane through all of those mad times where no other therapy or advice has helped. I suppose it's a lot healthier to kill somebody on paper than go on a rampage really. I suppose you've just got to take all of that negative energy and turn it back into something positive"."I write mainly in the genres of horror, science fiction, psychological thrillers; I've even created a slasher tale and an existential jelly baby story. I'll try anything once, it's all part of growing as a human being really".Marcus is Lancashire (U.K) born and bred although he has spent some time in Southern Africa. He writes in many fiction genres and continues a thirty year passion for story telling that first began back in high school.

Chapter One

In The Beginning

Once it was said, was a time of magic where dragons soared majestically in the air burning treetops with their fiery breath. Unicorns raced through forests, and repaired the land after the damage had been done by mankind, as they built their houses from the trees and drove the animals from their homes. In a world such as this, lived people with great power. There were kings and queens who lived in enormous castles. In a world like this, lived witches and warlocks; who were wizards with great magical powers. But even in a wonderful world such as this, there can be no good without evil.

Now not all bad people are born evil, because sometimes when bad things happen to good people it has a way of making them turn bad. Like when a worm gets into an apple and eats away
