Tandaline walked in step with her brother. The packed earth beneath her feet was firm. On this path the soil had been worn smooth by many feet. They were heading for their daily stroll in the forest. The warmth from Sydon’s hand on the small of her back brought familiar security, touched with a dollop … Continue reading A Beautiful Find
Storm Damage
I held Hetterford’s body in my arms and sobbed. His soft, grey fur soaked up my hysterical tears. With his death, it felt as if all the goodness had left my world.

She growled at the stupid tears. She needed to see where she was going but her eyes kept blurring. Then she sneezed. She … Continue reading In the Ashes
Gutter Butterfly
Leaves, sized from a 10cent coin, up to a saucer, shaped from ragged to round, and a from child’s finger to a man’s hand in width, flutter into a heap. They rest against the base of a wooden fence. Their colours of tan, green and yellow complement the silvered timber. The wind, a warm north-westerly, … Continue reading Gutter Butterfly

Gull Guides
The screech from above was the only warning I got. A second later something small but hard hit my head and bounced off. I was grateful the offering had not gone splat through my hair, but I rubbed the point of impact. The object which dropped on me now lay about a metre away to … Continue reading Gull Guides
The Ghost of the MT Vic Tunnel
The Ghost of the Mt Vic Tunnel “Those bastards. I should sock their bloody horns up their arses.

Yeah, sometimes the horns tooting could be … Continue reading The Ghost of the MT Vic Tunnel
