If you’d told me that I’d spend my entire day holding back a siege of zombie roses, I wouldn’t have believed you, but here we are. I first heard about them a couple of weeks back, on a social media group filled with conspiracy theorists. They believed that the new cell phone towers were bringing …
Finally, my new diabolical plan is ready to be unleashed! My enemies will tremble, my fans will rejoice and I will rule the world! Okay, maybe not the world, but at least the city of Melbourne. Eventually, however, once my machine is ready for international travel, I will rule the world! You see, after the …
My family and I are extremely well off. My parents worked hard as young adults and well into their careers to build the lifestyle that they wanted for themselves and our family. We got that lifestyle. My parents have purchased homes all across the country, with one of my favourites being a home in the …
After six months, I am finally able to leave the house again. I broke my leg and had to have major surgery, so I’ve spent the last six months doing online courses and just generally trying to keep myself entertained. Last month, when I knew I was on the cusp of being able to leave …

As we’re coming into summer, I’ve been thinking about last year’s heatwave and cringing at the memory of all the nights my kids and I couldn’t sleep. We had been avoiding our home for over a week because of the heat, but there’s only so much time we can spend at Brighton Beach or shopping …
Last year was my first year out of home. I grew up on the border of Victoria and New South Wales, and absolutely loved it. I never really had to look after myself when living at home. My parents did my washing and cooking, and it was agreed that my siblings and I would split …
I currently feel like I’ve been unhinged. If I was a door, I would be constantly closed. I would be unable to open unless someone was willing to rip me off my hinges and never put me back together again. These past couple of months, it has felt like everything I’ve faced has been a …
Clutter: who needs it? Evidently, some reptilian part of my brain thinks I do, which is why there’s piles of the stuff surrounding my desk like a small, irregular fortress.
