Faraway The Gownboys
Boarding school drop-offs are bound to be an angst-ridden affair. Not that I have much experience. For me, n = 1. But everyone's bound to be charged up. Happy. Sad. Scared.Three weeks ago, mum and dad broke it to me that they were sloughing me off to Charterhouse for the next four years. My best mates—Shawn, Edgar, Tyler—are off to Eton or Wycliffe or else they're staying home. It’s not like we don’t have top schools here in Birmingham. In soft rebellion, I put off packing. I’m going away from mum and dad, and Janey and Charlie--and then what? Off to university. So, I get thirteen years or so ...

The Velvet Portal - Part 2 - Flames and Fire
After the great bushfiwww.onedoor.ccres of 2020, I spent a lot of time just trying to recover. I didn't have the energy to rebuild my home. I didn't even have the energy to fill in the insurance claim forms and take photos to add to them. Thank God my sisters were there to help me. One had come over from New Zealand as soon as she heard there were fires in my area; she just drove straight to Auckland and got on the first plane here.
