FURIOUS FICTION At the beginning of last year, March 2019, I began entering stories into the Australian Writers’ Centre Furious Fiction competition. It’s a fun little monthly challenge whereby you have 55 hours to write a 500 word story that could ultimately net you $500. The only caveat is that each month they provide you … Continue reading Another Job (October 2020 FF)
Jetstar
Here's a little story I wrote about a year ago. I was on-board a Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Brisbane (hence the title), in search of warmer climes. And, having a pen but no paper handy, chose to write the story on the airsickness bag located in my seat pocket. The single line of instruction … Continue reading Jetstar

The Wanderer
Another tiny adventure I wrote as part of the the aforementioned keyword exercise (see Tell Me What You See) I started someone time back in 2019, when the world was a much different place. A specific phrase popped into his head as he passed by what must surely be the same tree that had passed … Continue reading The Wanderer
Siblings (August 2020 FF)
“What, am I just supposed to sit here all afternoon watching you suck on fruit,” my sister asked in that petulant way that little sisters do better than anyone else, “because that’s kind of twisted if you ask me!”

Tell Me What You See
A quick story I wrote in one of my journals as part of a keyword challenge an artist friend of mine and I used to have fun with. “I could stare at the sky for hours on end,” she said as her eyes worked overtime to capture the full splendour of the night sky. “What … Continue reading Tell Me What You See

Wiggles and Matilda
Somewhere out in, oh let’s say... the south Atlantic Ocean, there is an island which very few people know about, and when I say very few people, I mean that you can count the number of people who know about this island on one hand. It is a completely unremarkable island in almost every way, … Continue reading Wiggles and Matilda
Untitled Victor Forrest Project – Chapter 1
Hey! So, after a significantly prolonged 'sojourn' from any serious writing I was encouraged by someone to start what has, for a long time now, been a cool little project idea sitting somewhere in the back of my brain. What I have been wanting to do is to, very basically, utilise Twitter to tell a … Continue reading Untitled Victor Forrest Project – Chapter 1
