Strypey's Writing Garden

I like to write stuff. I have been writing stuff since I was only a wee lad. A lot of it has been fictional stories but more and more I write about my experiences, philosophies and political ideas. If you want a glimpse into the bizarre and sometimes frightening world of my imagination, have a look a my fiction. If you want to witness the even more bizarre world of my real beliefs and ideas, browse through the other sections.
