    F. E. Hubert

    F.E. Hubert lives in one of the wetter parts of Europe, which has the upside that it leaves him a lot of time to sit in his study and write stories. He writes short stories to give life to all the heroes, swords and monsters that keep knocking on his door when he's supposed to be working on his novel. They include science fiction, fantasy, horror, thrillers and the occasional detective. You can contact F.E. Hubert and let him know what you think at: hubertwrites@gmail.com, or leave a review so the rest of the world knows what you think. Thanks for stopping by!

      Krake

      The ships on the water looked like they were dancing.

      Dun sat in the hollow of the cliff, taking in the scene playing out below. He was by no means a sailor, but at the start of the attack it seemed clear that the three short, narrow boats would easily escape the cordon of larger ships. Something must be wrong, because even though they were clearly faster, they’d allowed the noose around them to draw tighter and tighter. As he watched, the last of the gaps in the circle closed, sealing the slender Krake ships in.
