The ‘Brown One’

I have become accustomed to walking into a room and questioning if I belong. That was very much what I felt like on my first day of primary school, my first day of high school, and ultimately, my first day at college. Amongst the sea of faked tanned skin, my chocolate complexion dobbed me in…

Sydney’s Housing Crisis – The Rat Race of 2024

It would be a week before the smell of rot would alert the worker on my grandfather’s farm to what had happened – to what I had done. The body of Holden was found crumpled and bloodied in a silo of grain by Hugh on his monthly equipment check-up – he noticed the stench and…

Time in Orbit – The Rise of Lyra

Three stalled raps against the wood – With this familiar knock, Professor John Lark was pulled from his trance; the dense and difficult theories saturating his mind instantly faded from thought. He transferred his gaze from the charts sprawled across his desk to the girl who lingered at the door. “Dad, I can’t sleep.” Stella…
