Repercussions of one's actions are often not realized for many
moons. Usually, such retorts result in minor inconveniences that
merely mar the soul and bruise one's pride. However, when
repercussions run afoul, evil in its purest form reveals her
damning desire to push one over the edge. These are those stories.
Repercussions run Rampant, tales of revenge, regret, and
retribution. No one is safe as the darkness within guides one's
will and chooses the path to follow.
Waarom skryf skrywers waaroor hulle skryf – of hoegenaamd? Is die
letterkunde nie maar ’n saak van humorlose erns, soos die karakter
Chris Fourie in die titelverhaal van hierdie weldeurdagte
kortverahaalbundel beweer nie? Met Skrywersblok sleep Jaco Fouche
sy net deur verskeie alledaagse ruimtes – kroee, koffiewinkels,
hospitale, treine, kerke – en ontdek hy karakters wat vanuit
onverwagse oorde eerlike en ongekunstelde weergawes van die
werklikheid voorhou. Want polisieman of misdadiger, gesiene sakeman
of sukkelende skrywer – elkeen het uiteindelik dit in gemeen: die
behoefte om sin te maak, vreugde te ervaar en iets na te laat wat
eendag aan ’n ander kan se “Ek was hier”.

FLOAT-Calder made mistakes he paid for with his life. He quickly
learned that everything he believed about dying wasn't true, after
all. Lettie's Plight- Lettie vowed never to follow in her mother's
dismal footsteps even if it killed her! Splinter- In the tiny town
of Milnor, ND, Adam struggles to bring some measure of normalcy to
his life, after a tragic event left him confined to a wheelchair.
His sister, Ada, fills his days with psychological torment and
disappears for days at a time. Is it sibling rivalry, or something
more sinister? Price of Now- Set in the small town of Now, Indiana,
A man, Troy, returns to his hometown after ten years, when he is
diagnosed with cancer in his prime. Troy visits a local antique
store on Halloween night, hoping to find something to comfort him
in his last weeks. He stumbles across a painting so compelling, he
must have it, at all cost -- he must have it...now! Soon he learns
there is something more to the painting than he bargained for.
Something diabolical.
