Andy Rugg

Andy Rugg's short story "Changing Colours" was most recently published in the British Fantasy Society's Horizons magazine (Issue 6). Prior to this, his story "Inspiration" was featured in Solid Gold: Anthology of the Very Best Short Fiction from Gold Dust.

The Boat, My Father

Janine wants me to write it all down. She still doesn’t believe me, despite everything I’ve been through and everything I’ve put her through. She wants me to write it down so then I’ll realise how crazy it sounds. The boat took me back. Right back to New Guinea in 1943. It wasn’t time travel exactly, but it has to be close.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
