About Me

Rebecca L. Brown (25) is a British writer currently based in Cardiff, South Wales where she lives with her partner and assorted menagerie. She has recently returned to writing medium-length, short and flash fiction pieces (including micro-fiction), after a short break which felt considerably longer than it was. Rebecca specialises in horror, SF, humour, surreal and experimental fiction, although her writing often wanders off into other genres and gets horribly lost. More updates and examples of Rebecca’s work can be found on her Twitter page @rlbrownwriter

Overlording

On-screen, he is a five-star level ninety-three multi-lord- eighteen kingdoms!
Never forget the eighteen kingdoms!-
King of all he surveys.

Climbing through valleys and exploring caves, he adventures daily
(is the laundry in the dryer?)
He has the biggest ever sword.

They admire his royal attire, his princely physique, aquiline roman nose
(are you ever going to wash that bath robe? Or take it off?)

The layout of his latest tower, adding every hour to our resources
(what about the groceries? haven't you moved at all today you lazy lump?)

Crushing his mighty foes beneath his feet
(where did these socks come from, they smell disgusting!)

Presiding over all in his mighty throne room
(this bathroom is revolting, what the hell is that green stuff?)

Unstoppable and all-powerful
(I'm tripping the fuses...)
