Red and White
She was red and white. That was the first thing I thought, before her screams came banging into my atmosphere. I’m late, that was the second thing I thought, as her words finally formed meaning. Her pleas for help were vicious and desperate, like a wild dog. I was riding my bike to my first day at a new school when I heard the pounding. She was on the fourth floor. I remember the window seemed...

'GOD'
Most of the kids in town had heaps of brothers and sisters, but I only had Joe. He was five years and forty three days older than me. It took us forever to figure that out. Joe wasn’t just my older brother, he was my God. His word was the truth, at least that’s what he said. We lived with our Mum, Jerry the butterfly, she could sing real well. She always had a song playing and a rolled White Ox...

When I was little my family lived in a house cut in half. Behind a blocked off door lived Milka, an elderly Russian lady who took pride in her precious front garden. I didn’t know the names of these flowers but I knew my front yard was a rainbow. My Mum called it our fairy garden and told me that every child has a fairy that lives on their shoulder, you couldn’t always see it but you could feel...

It was midnight. There was no clock to strike, but the everlasting words of Tupac filled the abandoned palace “I see no changes, all I see is racist faces, misplaced hate makes disgrace for races; we under. I wonder what it takes to make this one a better place… let’s erase the wasted. Take the evil out of the people, they’ll be acting right.” We had discovered what we now called ‘The...

At 40, he’d never grown up. His eyes showed a lack of depth but an abundance of boyish humour. He was a child endlessly wandering a man’s body. For five years he kept us in our own private never land; a place where the fineries were packed bongs and half cigarettes. When the stars disappeared he never forgot to give us a bedtime kiss and a glass of coke to soak our lungs in. However he’d never...

They drove until there was nowhere left to drive, a turn off on the right and there it was, the closest most of them would ever get to paradise… a prickled disaster of closed in caves and grassy knolls where we danced. A downhill hike to an uphill battle. The treachery of tires and the fear that lights strike in the distance. Muddy puddled bongs and leftover coke bottles in a bin made of...
