iDad the Eighth
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on April 24, 2012
Move over Maradona. By the time I had become a proud father of five I was nearing my late thirties. Unfortunately I had gained weight with each and every child that came along and my physique was no longer the bronzed Adonis of my early adolescence. My body had matured, like a fine wine or [...]

iDad 007 – Mini Me Meets One Little Girl
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on January 30, 2012
Mini Me I have mentioned previously about God Sakes love for all things miniature and his unfortunate inclination to eat said tiny toys. Well Granny also had a predilection for the pint sized. To him, every itty-bitty item was somebody’s baby and, like his brothers before him, his favourite were prehistoric monsters. Plastic dinosaurs (or [...]

iDad’s Guide to Fitness
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on May 6, 2011
Are We Jogging? Or so said the eccentric mystic from the movie ‘Jewel of the Nile’ as he, Joan Wilder and Jack T Colton fled across the desert, pursued by Omar the charming, yet ruthless dictator. I often wonder the same thing in the twilighty minutes before sunrise as I dodge past garbage trucks, lonely [...]
iDad and the Great Migration
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on February 23, 2011
Late last year the National Geographic Channel ran a series of fantastic shows on the Great Migrations of the animal world. Monarch butterflies, nomadic elephants and herds of bleating zebras graced our screen and entertained the children. One of my personal favourites was the red crab from Christmas Island. Each mating season millions of these [...]

Following on from a recent visit to Sydney Children’s Hospital (God Sakes poked a bamboo stake into Granny’s eyeball) and with all the free time I have thanks to my insomnia, I was inspired to write a new iDad story for you. Ladies and gentlemen, for your edification and entertainment, I present iDad Number 5. [...]

Pine Gap Teaser 04 – In The Wine, Is Truth!
Posted by Matt Green in Latest Posts, Pine Gap, Short Stories on November 26, 2010
A lot of people have asked me whether anything nice happens to the characters in my book. I suppose with all the giant spiders, Sand Sharks and rotting corpses, you’d be right to assume that this is a horror novel: but its not. Please find a short paragraph or two below that shows the interaction [...]

And then he saw it! A rotten, fetid corpse staggered around the corner and looked up at him with one ice blue eye.

iDad v3 – Hello Granny
Posted by Matt Green in Commentary, Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on October 6, 2010
The doctor took Granny from me and raced off to another part of the hospital with Blue Eyes in hot pursuit. There was no holding hands in the dark this time round. iDad was left alone to ponder his inability to protect his children. It was an empty, hollow feeling of despair that I will never forget.
